Marriage

Do you buy each other gifts to celebrate your wedding anniversary? Or do you just avoid it altogether? Here's why it's so important to celebrate each year, and it's probably not the reasons you think.

3 Reasons Why You Need To Celebrate Your Wedding Anniversary

My husband once said to me that he thought anniversaries were a commercial way for companies to earn money. And I can understand why he thought this way – it was his belief that in order to celebrate your wedding anniversary ‘correctly’ you had to buy each other gifts, from a particular style for each…

How To Find Your Lost Libido? Send This To Your Husband

Remember the good old days when your libido was always warmed up and ready to answer the call? Do those days seem nothing more than a foggy memory? I get it. Life happens. Babies happen.

Do you think your partner is romantic? Perhaps he doesn't buy you bunches of flowers, but is he killing the romance or are you? Do you know what romance is?

Are You The One Who Is Killing The Romance In Your Relationship?

“My husband isn’t romantic at all, I don’t even remember the last time we went on a date or he bought me flowers.” I have heard this statement so, so many times and it makes me want to scream. We have this idealized notion that ‘romance’ equates to date nights and flowers and walks on…

5 Great Reasons Not to Have Family Dinner Every Night

I know, just the title alone is probably going to send Family Dinner Advocates racing to my house to inform me my kids will end up in prison if we don’t have family dinner every night. But I have lots of practice deflecting all the parenting advice out there, because truly, what I’ve learned, is…

A happy marriage isn't often made up of all the big things. Instead, a happy marriage relies on the little things, the simple gestures you do each day that make a big difference to your marriage. Use these simple gestures as ideas to add into you day and see how much your marriage improves (or maybe you're doing them already!!)

9 Simple Gestures To Make a Big Difference In Your Marriage

While we may think that it’s the big issues in our relationships that define how we are together, it’s often the simple gestures that make a big difference in your marriage. The little things add up, and when they happen each day (or don’t happen) this can lead to big and lasting changes. Both positive…

One of the arguments against gay marriage is that it will affect traditional marriages negatively. This is how gay marriage will affect my non-gay marriage.

How Gay Marriage Affects My Traditional Marriage

Gay marriage is a hot topic in Australia at the moment and in many countries around the world. At present, gay marriage isn’t legal in Australia, and to be honest I’m a little ashamed. We live in a country with free healthcare, incredible standards of living, one of the most accepting countries of multicultural backgrounds…

Getting married a second time has it's own challenges, but it also has a whole heap of advantages too. Knowing what it takes to have a successful marriage is just one of the differences about getting married the second time around. Here are some others.

5 Big Differences The Second Time You Get Married

We’ve all heard it time and time again, marriage is no walk in the park. But until you’ve been married and faced troubles, you don’t realize just how true that statement is. Around 50% of marriages end in divorce. This also means around 50% of marriages succeed. But sometimes, not on the first go. And…

How many people can say that their best friend is their ex-husband’s first ex-wife? It's not a common relationship but one I am so incredibly grateful for.

My Best Friend Is My Ex-Husband’s First Ex-Wife

Try saying that a few times without fumbling the words. My best friend is my ex-husband’s first ex-wife. We have our intro’s down pat. When people ask us how we met, that’s exactly how I explain it (for her it goes more along the lines of ‘she’s my ex-husband’s new ex-wife). It’s the easiest, most…

There are a lot of things that can trigger off a dry spell in a relationship, having a baby is definitely one of them. Here's how you can get back into it!

Get Back in The Sack: How to Break a Dry Spell

The Dry Spell. This is how my husband refers to the six or seven months after we have a baby.  Illness or surgery can also bring on a dry spell, but at our house, it’s always babies.  Whatever brings it on, it’s important not to let The Dry Spell settle in long-term. I’m talking about…

"I don't regret cheating on my husband, not for one second. My affair gave me the strength to leave my abusive husband, it showed me I was worthy of love."

I Don’t Regret Cheating On My Husband

This post has been submitted anonymously. I don’t regret cheating on my husband. While it feels incredibly liberating to write those words, there’s still so much backlash out there from people who don’t understand. Most of those people will never understand. And that’s totally okay. But it’s also important to know that just because you…
