My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, ‘I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.’

I think that’s what’s happening right now. We’re both tired. We’re both wanting things to go the way we want. We’re both trying to get what we want. In many little ways, they’re different. But the ultimate goal remains the same. Hence the unspoken compromises we make along the way.

I remember the saying that we should not let the sun go down on our anger. That is, husband and wife should never go to bed angry at each other. That they should resolve their issues before sleeping.
I used to hold on to that belief. Now, I am not so sure anymore. [...]

They say that when a woman gets married, she leaves her family and her husband becomes her first responsibility. Is this really true and right or is it just tradition? Sometimes, I find myself still caught in between my husband and my family. Worse, I find myself being pulled from three different [...]

Have you ever reached a point in your marriage wherein you just thought to yourself “To hell with it – I’m getting out?” I read somewhere that even the best of marriages reach this point at least once.
