What gets us in More Trouble than Our Tongues? (Words and Tone of Voice Matter)

Sure, our actions speak louder than our words, but our word to action ratio is heavy on the word side. Overall, we are likely hurt our spouse more with our words than with our actions.

Shake It Off! (Letting Go of the Little Things)
Sometimes I enjoy just sitting back and watching my dog, Ramsey, and my husband, Eric, play together. Eric likes to roughhouse with her, which she loves, but in the process she gets her ears flipped up, fur matted down, and tail tucked in a number of ways. When she's ready to stop playing, she jumps down, shakes herself off (flipping her ears down and getting her fur back in place) and moves on to the next activity. Sometimes we playfully agitate her to get a reaction (e.g., she always jerks her head when we blow on her face). Afterwards, she gets up, and shakes herself off. Once again, she … [Read more...]

Of all the brilliant pieces of advice given to young couples, there are a few I feel that I must uncover as vicious, false myths: “If you want to grow closer to your wife or girlfriend, then shop with her.” “Even if you’re not interested, take the time to watch sports with your man.” “If you want to bond with your spouse (or spouse to be), cook with him/her.” So, let me take some time to expose these falsehoods for you… First, men are told, "If you want to grow closer to your wife or girlfriend, then shop with her." I'm sure there … [Read more...]
