Happy Marriage Secrets
Sometimes my job just has to bleed over into daily life. I thought this article was a great reminder of the upsides of being a couple. Sometimes we can get too focused on what's wrong with our life, marriage, spouse, kids, etc. It's healthy to step back and consider all the things that are right with them.
In the case of marriage, I firmly believe that the time for rose-colored glasses is after you say I Do. The time for hard, realistic appraisal is before. So here's a great article on WebMD, called "5 Things Super Happy Couples Do Every Day". Read and enjoy. http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/features/5-things-super-happy-couples-every-day
So 'fess up! What do you do? One thing we do is give each other massages. Well, okay, I'm more the lucky recipient than the giver, but still. I was scratching and rubbing Bob's head this morning. He rubs my feet and my back practically every day. I gave him a foot rub yesterday. There's a sense of wellbeing and relaxation that we give each other through those little acts of service that transcend any "relationship work", but that help make the relationship work.

Paul rubs my feet and my back...but he doesn't like me to do the same most of the time. I try to be nice by taking a break from nagging...consciously... ;P.No, seriously, he really responds to nice talk and kudos...and I am getting better. :)
Nice! That's a good advertisement for learning the 5 love languages material. He must be a "Words of Encouragement" guy.
Hey "Aunt Sue",
This is Aaron (Clark). My dad sent me the link to your blog. How's life??? It seems to be treating you just fine. I heard that Colin graduated with a degree in English. Is that true? The reason why I'm curious is because I am an English major at Keene State (in New Hampshire); I found that to be pretty interesting that he went to school for the same thing. Anyway, I wanted to maybe get some feedback from him on life after college from somebody with an English degree...I will tell you more about my life and such if you email me. I couldn't find your email address on your blog, but I really wanted to get in touch with you and possibly Colin via email. Let me know what's been going on with you all; I'd love to hear from you. My email address is aaclark1982@yahoo.com I look forward to hearing from you!
Much love, Aaron
