Real quick, I wanted to pop in again today and ask you a question.
Next month, I am going to start interviewing couples who are committed to their non-perfect marriages.
So my question is, what kinds of questions would you like for them to answer?
What are the things that you think you are alone in?
What are the things that you want to know how other people cope with?
My hope is that their open and honest diologue about their marraige will be super encouraging.
THANKS!

I would like to see how others cope with rebuilding trust after it has been broken.
and money issues… when one person in the relationship is irresponsible with money.

–money issues are always good because MOST fights in marriages are about money.
–what about building more connections for conversation…how to get your husband to talk to you. to share their feelings. this is always a hard one to do!!!

I’ve got an amazingly evolved husband too, which i can never believe because his mom, ugh, she’s not evolved. his parents had a typical he brings home the bacon and she cooked it relationship.
now my point is today, how do we make sure our SONS carry on the “good husband gene”??? He has set a fantastic example, but is that the key, cause he didn’t get a good example from his dad and yet, here he is , bringing home the bacon, cooking it and doing the dang dishes too. (oh thank you God, i know i deserve him, but still i thank you for him everyday of my life.) and let me just add one more thing, after 21+ yrs of marriage, he is still dang hot n heavy in the sack!!!

I agree with talking about money issues.
-sharing one income, agreeing that the money is not just the persons who earned it but instead that it belongs to the household
-when he wants to pay one bill and she thinks another has higher priority
how do we work out these sorts of disagreements without it turning into an argument?
