If you didn’t get a chance to catch the “Does My Wife Have A Crush on Chris Brown?” post, I apologize. First time in blog history that she took much exception with the content matter, so I had to remove it. I’m sure Chris Brown isn’t sweating it, with everything else going on in the [...]
These days, I’m a lot less guarded around my wife. I know that’s probably a shameful thing to say, considering that we’ve been married for more than a year now, but I no longer feel inhibited by machismo to share with my wife what’s going on with me personally.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m built Charmin [...]
Now that is a question for the ages. You’ve duked it out, said some things you should have, heard some things you’d rather not have, and one of you have stormed off contemplating what life would be like without the other.
That’s okay. That’s normal. What’s not normal is if you are seeking a permanent solution [...]
A word to all of my believers out there. The devil is a liar.
I know this to be true, as fatigue can be one of his most powerful weapons.
Fresh off of a wonderful vacation, which was capped off by the second-most emotionally fulfilling day of my life, I compose this entry from the living room [...]
My wife and I attended the funeral of a very sweet lady today. She lived a long life of service to the Lord, and kind deeds and words unto all who knew her. Her life and passage into its next phase gave me reason to consider the parallels of life and death within a relationship.

Somewhere along the line, I learned that the universe has a few basic rules to it. One of the most important ones is that for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. Must’ve been a newly-married guy who came up with that one, because it’s one of the most important lessons I have learned [...]
Rarely do my wife and I fight. You might look at the entries of this blog and have the impression that’s it’s often enough to note, but it’s really not. Last night we had one that was totally on me.
I don’t do enough house work.
I’m a lazy bump on a log, I know. But I [...]
One benefit (or misfortune) of getting married is that you become a lightning rod for all questions and inquires about relationships and marriage. It’s not an everyday thing, but it’s not uncommon for friends to call me up and ask about communication techniques, conflict resolution, and where to take a date for good Italian food.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my ex-girlfriends a lot. No, not in the way that you might be thinking or what’s common to see on television, but thinking about how happy I am versus how unhappy I made other people in my past. Youth, a lot of anger and little understanding on how to manage [...]
So basically what began as a small argument eventually evolved into a weekend full of them. Mapquest was the starting point, but we eventually started sniping at each other about when to go to the movies, forgetting to go to the ATM, and it all got topped off with a personal favorite, me sitting in [...]
