Keeping a Marriage Exciting

Planning the wedding, arranging for that big event and laying out plans for the future is so exciting for soon-to-be couples. However, after the magical honeymoon, true married life begins. Spending all day with the same person and doing daily routine activities could make married life less than exciting. Even if you have the most wonderful marriage, this monotony may drag your relationship and make you both feel unsatisfied with what is supposed to be a very loving relationship. It is very important that couples not just sit back believing that a marriage will remain exciting merely on its own momentum. Couples should take some simple yet effective ways to infuse their marriage with a bit of fun and excitement. One great way to infuse that bit of fun and excitement into your marriage is to take a vacation with just the two of you. If you already have kids, it would be great to bring them along and sneak out to find some moments for only the two of you. Isn't that so exciting?

Financial Problem in Marriages

Financial problem is one of the most common marriage problems that unnecessarily lead to an argument or even separation. Money matters are simple if you really think about it. Either you can afford something or you cannot. If you cannot afford it, you choose to either stop your unnecessary spending of money or earn more money by starting up a small business and letting your friends and other people know about it through computer business cards. Learning from experience, financial issues is really just a very simple concept. If we want something that is not very important at all, we wait for the time when we can afford to buy it. Many couples let themselves into financial problems because they sometimes ignore money issues. Like most marriage problems, couples should take their time to discuss financial issues before they become out of hand. You should sit down together, discuss the real cause of the problem and work together for possible solutions. Arguing or fighting does not solv

When Hobby Changed to Hubby

Image
When I got married and had children, I have given up almost everything I used to do when I was still single and free. Everything has changed. Everything is very different. The only hobby I have before I was married was reading novels. I love to read stories of people; and historic romance was my favorite. Contrary to my friends' favorites, I was never hooked with Danielle Steel but I also love to read her stories. I also love to read science fictions and detective stories but always, the historic romance novels kept my interest in reading; and stories about Indians and their life are my favorite. I love their traditional cultural values, the way they live, the way they view life, nature, and family. I kept myself updated with book sales, schedule of new arrivals, and see to it that I'm one of the first clients to avail of the bookstore's promos. I had collected a number of books, some were lost, some were borrowed and were never returned, and most of them were stocked i

Celebrate Love on Valentines Day

Image
It is almost February and I could now smell the sweet aroma of Valentines Day. Sweet love is obviously in the air. I plan to give Hubby a big surprise but I am lost with some creative ideas. Might as well visit my partner, Article Alley Article Directory for some useful Valentines Day promotions and fancy. Last Valentines Day, Hubby and I celebrated love over a simple yet romantic dinner. I would count that very day as the most memorable date we had within our ten years of marriage. This was the first Valentines Day that we had a real date and the very first Valentines Day that he gave me flowers and chocolates. Though they are not the typically expensive ones, his act of thoughtfulness really caught me by surprise because even when he was still courting me, he had not given me any flowers or chocolates a man courting a woman usually brings. Well, Hubby is not really the stereotypically romantic type of person. I kept the flowers and dried them to keep something that would remind

10th Wedding Anniversary - Keeping Our Marriage Fresh

Image
We are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary today. Ten years had passed since we exchanged "I dos". Ten years of sharing love, affection, happiness, pain, dreams, frustrations and struggles to keep our marriage untarnished, vibrant and scintillating. Like most marriages, we also had our shares of misfortunes and misunderstandings that challenged our relationship. Through these challenges, we learn the value of patience and sacrifice. I would say it was not easy. Keeping the dynamism of our marriage required so much hard work from both of us. However, it was worth the effort otherwise we would not be celebrating another wedding anniversary and every year we always go back to the basics to keep our marriage fresh. In keeping our marriage fresh, it is important to understand why we entered into it in the first place. Why did we have that all-consuming, ecstatic, heart-stirring experience when we get married? What did we want out of the relationship? What did we want to gi

Shopping For Divorce Attorneys

Tiger Woods has been dodging rumors of infidelity. Every day, more and more women come out of the woodwork, revealing intimate details of their affairs with Tiger; and reports say that at least 14 women had affairs with the golf icon. It seems his marriage is irreparable now. There were reports that Elin Nordegren, the Swedish nanny and former model who married Tiger Woods in 2004, is shopping for divorce attorneys. According to media reports, Elin will divorce the billionaire golf icon following the $candal that halted his career. An unnamed source close to Elin told ABC News, "Divorce is 100 percent on. She's not rushing to divorce, however. She’s going to take her sweet time. She wants all the dirty laundry to be out on the table before she signs anything." People magazine reported she has met with lawyers to renegotiate her prenuptial agreement with Woods. US Weekly reports the couple has a prenuptial agreement worth $300 million, which would make this the most expen

Relationship Management Skills on Nagging

Image
Couples experience stress-related arguments that may be due to finances, outside influences, and unmet expectations. Instead of finding acceptable outlets for stress or developing coping skills for anxiety or relationship management skills, spouses tend to personalize pent-up emotions toward each other and eventually become a recipient of unspent anger and frustration through nagging. Nagging is defined as the bothersome, annoying, incessant, irritating fault finding or voicing of unmet expectations or tasks that need to be done. It takes the form of verbal reminders, requests, and pleas said in a number of different ways repeatedly. For years, this has been a problem between men and women and some would want to end the relationship just to escape the feeling of being under constant pressure. Through time, women have earned the reputation of being the “nagger” and men the recipient of the nagging. However, there are some cases were the roles are reversed. Male nagging is not discus

Relationship Management - Facts on Cheating Wife

Image
Women are less likely to cheat than men. In the old, old days, women cheating on their spouse were unheard of but in today's modern times, the number of women who cheat on their spouse is growing exponentially. The difference in men and women cheating is that men often cheat for physical reasons while women often have emotional reasons for cheating on their partner. While estimates of infidelity are difficult to establish, surveys consistently reveal that wives tend to be more faithful than husbands. When a wife cheats on her husband, she is more likely to have an emotional affair and tends to cheat with someone who is part of their social group – a friend, a co-worker, someone from school, church, etc. Cheating wives tend to have affairs with men who have more status and resources than their husbands or with men who are better relational partners – someone who is more attentive, appreciative and understanding. Women are also more likely to use cheating as a means of getting re

Once a Cheater, Always a Cheater?

The audio of Tiger Woods leaving a voicemail message for his alleged mistress, Jaimee Grubbs, was released on December 2, 2009, by US Weekly. Any doubt that he had been unfaithful to his wife, Elin Nordegren, was immediately erased. Audio: Tiger Woods Voicemail Message "Hey it's Tiger, I need you to do me a huge favor. Can you please take your name off your phone? My wife went through my phone and may be calling you. So if you can, please take your name off that. Just have it as a number on the voicemail. You got to do this for me. Huge. Quickly. Bye." However, even if Tiger grovels for forgiveness, you cannot blame Elin if she questions whether he can be faithful in the future. Will Tiger — and other cheaters — stray again? The answer may put nerve shocks but makes total sense. “A small number of men have an addiction to cheating — regardless of what their relationship is like. But most men stray because something is lacking in their union, be it $e×, attentio
