4 Ways To Go From An Average Marriage To An Awesome Marriage!
How would you rate your marriage right now? Are you happier, healthier and more fulfilled than you’ve ever been, or have the struggles and daily grind of life put your romance on the back burner? I believe we all want our marriages to be awesome, but sometimes it’s hard to know how to make it a reality. I live in the “real world” just like you, and I know that not everyday can look like a honeymoon, but I also strongly believe that most married couples settle for an existence of mediocrity when something much greater is within their reach. As I’ve interacted with couples from all over the globe, I’ve…

Why I Put My Wife Before My Children
It’s usually 8:30 PM when I give the first warning shot to my two teenage daughters. At 9 PM, I say, “It’s time for you two to head upstairs.” I repeat this nearly every night. And nearly every night they argue. “But why do we have to go to bed at 9?” they lament. “We’re not children anymore.” “You don’t have to go to bed, but you can’t stay down here in the living room past 9. That’s our time. We haven’t seen each other all day, and most of the day we’ve been focused on you and work. We need our time, too.” They roll their eyes and huff…

I’m My Wife’s Hype Man
Patrick Coleman originally posted this article on Fatherly. Our boys walk into the kitchen with empty hands. My wife shoots them a look and says, “Hey, I need you to put your dinner dishes in the dishwasher.” “Get your dishes!,” I say, turning briefly from rummaging for beer in the fridge. They whine, but relent, plodding back into the kitchen a minute later with dirty plates. Both head straight for the washer before my wife stops them again. “Scrape your plate into the trash,” she says. “Scrape ‘em!” I say, cracking open a bottle. The boys debate who will use the trash can first. My wife clasps their shoulders and…

Wife Tricks Husband Into Thinking She Adopted A Coyote
If you ever find an abandoned puppy which you want to take home, make sure it’s not something else. For example, a coyote. This is exactly how Justin Bogh felt when his wife Kayla Eby sent him a pic of a “cute little dog” she “found” outside which was obviously a coyote. His reaction was priceless. Justin even jokingly asked for a divorce. Turns out it was just a prank by his wife. Kayla, a preschool teacher from Seaside, Oregon, created the pic in Photoshop, and now their conversation is taking the internet by storm. You can read it below. Be warned, there’s some spicy language. More info: Facebook Image…

How This Wife Made $95,000 by Channeling Her Love For Her Husband
A couple has been married for 60 years. And to stay together for that long you have to be completely honest with your partner. So the husband and wife were very open, shared everything and didn’t have any secrets from each other. Well, almost… The wife kept a shoe box in the closet, which she had asked her husband not to open or even ask about. And the man never thought about the box in 60 years, until the day his wife got very sick. The doctor said she wouldn’t make it. While trying to sort out their affairs, the husband took the shoebox to his wife’s bedside and she…

When You SHOULD and SHOULDN’T Stay With A Cheater
By Ashley Papa Trust is one of the main tenets of a strong partnership. When cheating happens, that value is shattered — and for many couples, saving a marriage can seem difficult, if not impossible. But according a March 2014 study published in the journal Couple and Family Psychology: Research and Practice, many married couples who face infidelity do bounce back and make the active choice to stay together. And it’s not just for financial reasons or parental responsibilities. Infidelity does not have to be the end of the relationship, Dr. Tammy Nelson, a couples therapist and author of “The New Monogamy: Redefining Your Relationship After Infidelity,” told Fox News.…

7 signs your husband is happily married
Every wife wants her husband to find joy in their marriage. Here are 7 signs that indicate your honey is a happily married man. 1. Kisses He greets you with a kiss when he comes home from work.

Contacts When he goes away on business, he contacts you every day and lets you know he misses you. A husband who is happily married genuinely misses…

Never Underestimate What You’ve Been Through to Get Where You Are
Life is about playing the cards we’re dealt. This world is based on appearances. Because of that, we tend to compare our lives to others and in the same time compare the hand of cards we were dealt. We can sometimes devalue our hand because it’s not as glitzy or glamorous as other people’s. We can wish to be someone else, or have the life they are living, without truly knowing what’s going on, just from outside looking in. Some examples of the cards we get dealt: “good” parents, “bad” parents, no parents, adopted, grandparents raised us, a single parent, or whatever. Another example of the cards we’re dealt: Being…

My Spouse And I Aren’t On The Same Page. And That’s Okay
This is a follow up to my previous article, “I Did NOT Marry The Girl Of My Dreams“. If you haven’t read it, go ahead. I was out to lunch with a friend of mine who is living with his current girlfriend and he mentioned to me how he didn’t think they were going to make it to marriage because, “they weren’t on the same page.” And since this is such a cliched phrase, I wanted to know more. So I asked him to describe in what ways he and his partner were “off”. He went on to describe that they just wanted different things. You see, she had been…

These Extraordinary True Stories Will Remind You About the Power of Trust
I trusted my trainer—and he saved my life “As an athlete, I’ve always worked hard to push myself to my limits and with that usually comes some aches and pains. So last year when I started to feel some muscle soreness after a tough workout at first I didn’t think it was a big deal. I was training for a marathon at the time, so over the weekend I’d done a 13-mile run. The following Tuesday I hit my favorite CrossFit gym to do a workout that involved a lot of upper body weight lifting. My trainer told me to take it easy on my body, but I figured I’d…
