Good morning Hell and posters,

This may be a key to long life together.
Read in a medical journal, a joke or funny story at the start of your day, makes your day go better. Along with sharing and laughing with your partner. So here is one and let us know if it does work:
True story!
I just saw a picture of thumper, the rabbit from Bambi, it reminded me of my girl friend, who 20 years ago, had inked her upper left breast with thumper; the ink master said it was not a good idea, but did it as she insisted. Well thumper now has the longest ears ever. Of course she now wishes she listened.
Have a good day.

Marriage resembles a pair of shears , so joined that they cannot be separated ; often moving in opposite directions , yet always punishing any one who comes between them.

Happy Daddy Day Hell, and all the other men.

A little boy asked his father,
"Daddy, how much does it cost to get married?"
Father replied, "I don't know son, I'm still paying."

Good evening Hell, good evening Buddies.
You both can go for a walk, make it a regular walk date with your spouse or partner and use the time to discuss issues without distractions.
Go in good weather and I found going in the rain, brings you closer to your partner in the actual sense, neither of you want to get wet, so you get closer.
Don't expect results right away, take your time, the issues did not pop up they took time to build; so take time to tear it down one layer at a time. Remember, you may be ready to talk and iron things out, but your partner may not to ready or even willing to talk, for what ever reason. It is all good, if you come with a positive openness. Again take your time. It took God seven days to create Earth so it may take you seven walking dates to work on your issues one layer at a time.

One has not gained a husband, and the other has not gained a wife , but both have gained lifelong mates.

Hell, you are right.
Saring a long weekend together can help keep a marriage strong by allowing more time to be together. Unless you right at each other necks, now that one is for another post.
Hope you all had a long Momerial long weekend and Sunday blessings also.

Have a good night and keep each other warm with the temp falling to -15c and the windchill feels like -27c you need some extra warmth. But you do not have to have an excuse to be together.
Have a good week Hell and company{>:)

When she is talking to her friend and throws you under the bus for something you didn't know you did right in front of you just remember........she is going through menopause.

not sure if our marriage will survive this but I have been keeping my mouth shut and trying very hard to be understanding.

Hellrazor, one plus one makes three, four, sometimes five and six.
My Gran told me to remember that the first baby comes at any time. All the rest usually take nine months.

Go to church together, as Hellrazor posted and say a prayer to each other. Then go for coffee, while drinking coffee, look into each other's eyes, smile and hold hands. Then take her for a walk, remember to keep holding her hands and smile a lot.

Hellrazor and all buddies who post here, Easter Blessings.

Take her out to eat once a week, things got rough and she complained she wanted to feel wanted again and wanted me to date her again.....I ignored that for a long time but gave in and went out to eat, what a change in just 3 weeks of going out to eat once a week.

I don't get why it is so important to have a QUOTE DATE but I am not even gonna ask. in my eyes if I wanted a date I would get a girlfriend.

Just finishing up a divorce after 23yrs of marriage and in the end ignoring all the little problems became too much to overcome....
