This week I noticed that I have a problem... not the first time I’ve had this experience... I’m sure you’re surprised to read that. The sad thing is it’s actually a pretty common problem that most of us don’t really think about because so many people do it. I have a tendency to “brag” about how … [Read more...]
Are you a parent or partner?
It is apparent that parents are not being parents but rather partners while, at the same time, parents are being more like parents to their partners instead of partnering, and apparently I like tongue twisters. In case this first sentence was too confusing... I should’ve erased it, but I’m way … [Read more...]
A Trick to Make Life Seem Better
As you are well aware, life has its ups and downs... at least I hope you are aware of this; if not, you must live in a magic bubble I wish I could visit. In life, we are guaranteed to experience times that are really great, times that suck, and times that just pass by without any real feeling … [Read more...]

I got in one little fight...” Sorry Fresh Prince flashback. Plus, ‘oohhhhh’ is … [Read more...]
Fighting in marriage is healthy
If you’re reading this and thinking: “We must be the healthiest couple in the world because we’re always fighting,” you’ll want to read the whole blog to know what I mean because I didn’t write “constantly fighting”. On the other hand, if you saw this title and you thought: “That’s wrong. My … [Read more...]
Do you have depression?
The other day I was carrying a slab of wood with nails in it and as I took a step down the edge of the wood bounced off the step and aggressively dug into my back. The gross part was I could feel it as it pierced the skin and got lodged. It was sharp enough to break through the skin, but blunt … [Read more...]
