A little Sunday Laugh
As I’ve said before our extended family get together every Sunday night for dinner. It’s a nice tradition and it allows us all to catch up and enjoy one anothers company for a couple hours. But sometimes things don’t go according to plan.
Last Sunday we were having Indian tacos. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it consists of a circle of fried bread dough or a scone as we call it in the west, topped with refried beans, hamburger, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, basically all the fixings for a taco. On this day it was my job to make the scones. So I mixed up my favorite batch of bread dough, waited for it to…
The Secret to a Woman’s Heart
It’s the kind of thing that seems to have been a mystery since the dawn of time, what do women want? How does a woman think? How do you make a woman happy?
Well we all now that each woman is different, we are unique human beings, however in general women are pretty simple. We want to be loved, appreciated, held, told that we matter and know that in the hearts of those we love the most we are precious.
I have told my children for years that the biggest most important sex organ is the brain and it’s true! Especially for women we cannot enjoy intimacy if all the other things in our lives and relationships aren’t in order. The brain is also the key to her heart. When our relationships and lives are in order our heart is content and happy.…
Finding Love, Later
Bryan is my brother in law. He married for the first time last year, he was in his late 30’s. Bryan married Diane. She had been married once before and came to this marriage with 2 young girls, Sariah and Julia. I know very little about the story of their courtship and marriage, that story is theirs. I would like to tell this story from my perspective.
I don’t believe Bryan thought he would ever marry. He was kind of a loner, didn’t communicate easily, never seemed at home around people, even his family. He lived several hours from his family and for a long time seemed to visit as infrequently as he could get away with. He seldom smiled, had no real relationship with his nieces and nephews, told us little if anything about his life. We worried about him, we prayed for him, we hoped the best for him, but he didn’t let us in.…
How to make your marriage work
Let me start by saying that I believe in marriage, I believe in happiness, I also believe that marriage takes time, commitment and work. I also believe that some marriages cannot be saved, but those are rare! There is no excuse for abuse, cheating and selfishness in a marriage. However most divorces don’t have a major reason, just a lot of minor ones we let build up or bail on because we don’t want to do the work.
So for this article we are going to state hard truths and cause some talk and discussion on what it takes to make a marriage work, ready?…
Marry your best friend
I’m a big fan of marrying your best friend. People talk about it all the time but I’m not sure how many people really do it or understand it. Your best friend should be the first person you think about when something funny happens and you’ve just got to tell someone. Your best friend should be the person you can talk to about anything or nothing, the person who giggles with you when you do something embarrassing, the person who understands that sometimes you cry for nothing but you still need a hug.
Best friend is an over used phrase, but when it happens to you, you’re very lucky!
