Marriage...it must have been at the root of Dickens mind when he penned the "best of times...worst of times..." Marriage can be one of the biggest challenges in anyone's life which is one reason why more than 50% of them end in divorce. So what can we do to live in better harmony? What techniques can be used to cope with a spouse who is being unreasonable or doing something harmful? Better yet, what can be done to increase happiness and decrease the little things that cause tension and strife? We'll see...but all in due time.
Why am I writing this blog? Well, I like to write. It falls somewhere between hobby and obsession (which would lead one to think I would be better at this typing thing by now...) Am I a counselor? No. Am I a mental health professional with years of experience helping to repair shattered lives? Again, no. But what I do have is 10 years of marriage to the same woman, a lot of smiles, my share of tears, and the desire to help others to be as happy as I am in a relationship. So there is your explanation of why...
To get the formalities finished up, throughout the course of our relationship, you can refer to me as Brian...it's what both my mother and my wife call me (unless the middle name is involved and then I'm in real trouble...)
I'd love to hear your questions and comments...please leave them and please do so frequently. I will do my best to answer them or to respond, I enjoy it. My only request is to please keep your language civilized and keep your tone somewhat sane. Simple, eh?
So, regardless if your marriage is afloat on the sea of love of high and dry on the rocks, this blog is for you. It does not matter if you've been married for 50 years or still living the single life, I hope you can find something enjoyable in the pages that will follow...
