There's nothing sexier than....

Seeing my husband take care of business. Now the business I'm talking about is being a great father to our children. Sometimes when I'm sitting on the couch and I glance out the window and see him playing catch with our little girls or talking to them about their school work, I find that being able to reflect on these things are a turn on for me.

"til death do us part"

I had a friend say the other day how she is ready to leave her husband because of her unhappiness. She says they have not had much intimacy since her youngest was born and he is now 4 years old. She said she was unhappy, they have tried counseling, and still argue daily. She feels happier when they are apart and miserable when they are around. Its getting to where he even yells at their kids (2). Here's the catch, he is severely clinically depressed. Now, I am a true romantic and don't believe i… Continue

Falling in love is the easy part. But it's staying that way that takes some work. So instead of saying...

"This relationship stuff. It gives me a headache just to think about it."

I hate to go home, as soon as I hit that door there going to be drama

Try changing your attitude just a little. The one thing I have learned is that I must be the change I want to see. It all starts with me. Not him but me. (I have to tell myself that a lot. lol)

Tip #1
Make a list. When you… Continue
