Working Together
55 hours ago by Jerri Reason @ maritaltalk.com
Being a part of team isn't always. I've been part of athletic teams, academic teams, employee teams and I've attempted the marital team 3 times prior to this final fourth marital team. I'm not sure what makes this marital team work so...
Here's what I started writing about yesterday...

Marital Talk

I'm taking the lazy way out on this one. I talk to an old friend earlier tonight through text messages while getting my birthday present. What did I get? I got a tattoo. No, I am not kidding. Yes, I most certainly did...

A Matter of Age - Part Four
09/03/2008 by JM @ longrelationships.com
When I first came to Australia, a man my husband works with and is friends with was suspicious of me. He treated me nicely, but there is no doubt in my mind that he thought there was a possibility that I was after my husband for reasons other than...
Marriage and Age
09/03/2008 by Jerri Reason @ maritaltalk.com
This post is more about me and introducing me a little more than it is about anything actually material involving marriage. Well, unless you count the fact that what I'm giving you is stuff from the years of previous marriages. With...
A Matter of Age - Part Three
09/03/2008 by JM @ longrelationships.com

Likes and Dislikes - How Much Alike Are You and Your Partner
09/02/2008 by Jerri Reason @ maritaltalk.com
My husband and I are polar opposites when it comes to music. I prefer oldies, 70's and 80's stuff, he prefers hip hop and all the new folks out there. I barely even know a few new folks names, never mind want to listen to their...

Excuse the Cross-Post as I Brag on Myself
09/01/2008 by Jerri Reason @ maritaltalk.com
Our local paper did an article on my blogging. I am not one to boast or brag about myself and I was perfectly content knowing that my information would be in the Lifestyles section of the paper yesterday. When word came through that...

Trying to jumpstart some discussion
08/31/2008 by Jerri Reason @ maritaltalk.com
I've given you all a little background about me, now surely some of you can tell me something about your and your spouse. You don't have to get nitty gritty and give me all the details, just the general information. So, I've basically...
Vacations, Marriage, Children

Children in the Marital Bed
08/29/2008 by Jerri Reason @ maritaltalk.com
Today was our session with our counselor. I think all three of us really don't know how to act because my husband and I really don't have any issues to sort through. There are some but not that I'm comfortable revealing to the...

I'm going to make this one short and sweet
08/28/2008 by Jerri Reason @ maritaltalk.com
As most of you have already figured out, I'm not a very short and sweet kind of writer. I try, oh how I try so hard. But, the fact is, I just get all excited. But, this one, this one is going to be short I promise. My topic is...

Creating your Bridal Registry
08/27/2008 by Stacy Ochsman @ weddingtactics.com
Sometime within the first forty-five minutes of wearing a diamond ring, the average bride realizes she needs to register for gifts. At this point, there is no wedding date, no venue, no flowers, no dress, just a ring, a question and the very...
Spare Change – Saving Money as a Couple
08/27/2008 by JM @ longrelationships.com
Saving money in my household hasn’t been extremely hard by any means but neither has it been very easy. My husband and I both grew up in families where money – for various reasons – was something to have as a secret and spend as soon as you...
I know this one is way over the top but..
08/26/2008 by Jerri Reason @ maritaltalk.com
Yes, I live over the top most of the time. One of the top vote getters in the Poll entitled Strong Points of Your Marriage was Leisure Activities. I must say that sounds fairly obvious to most people, or at least to the two or three I've...
Mars and Venus
08/26/2008 by JM @ longrelationships.com
As I have probably mentioned across my sites hundreds of times already, I am currently on a six week restricted diet. With no alcohol, no chocolate, no mushrooms (I love mushrooms) and plenty of other ‘no, you can’t have this even if you love it...
Thinking of Baby

This past weekend was a busy one full of making a mess of the flat, doing laundry, building furniture (we bought two new bookshelves and a new bed, all of which we had to put together) and grocery shopping. It was definitely more active than our...
