"You Need to Dress Sexy"

After one of our family workouts, we happened to stop at a store grab a few things.  We happened to walk by a display of clothing, out of the blue my husband told me you need to wear something like this; and dress sexy.  

The dress he pointed to, I would never wear.  I didn't even respond because he caught me off guard, and I really didn't know what to say :-).  For one, he knows I'm very conservative with the way I dress.  I'm assuming he means when I'm with him, but when I thought about it, it's very rare that it's just he and I unless it's a date night, which we haven't had time for lately.

Help!  Does anyone have any suggestions that I can compromise a little on this?  I need to do a little investigation on how I can accomplish fulfilling his desire, yet adhere to my standards.  Hmmmm,,

Cherish each moment!  Forgive, and don't sweat the small stuff!  Life is very limited, and we will never know when life on earth will end for each of us.  Live and enjoy each day, and make memories as you go along. 

Feeling Good...

Yesterday, as I was driving in the car to go make my weekly Sunday rounds for couponing, I caught a snip it of a radio program that had 3 doctors discussing men and women in regards to changes that causes different circumstances in relationships ex: menopause, impotence. Anyhow, I heard something that made me say Hmmm. Women have to feel good in order to have sex, Men have to have sex in order to feel good.... Of course the show took a long commercial break, and I wasn't able to continue listening. I've been thinking about this all day. It really explains a lot....But I just didn't think of it as being as simple as that statement....... If we really understood this statement could we avoid infidelity, and/or divorce??? Hmm

Family Time

For the last 2 months, we as a family have been making time to work out together.  Every weekend we load up the bikes, and head over to Stone Mountain park here in Georgia.  My groom and 2 boys ride their bikes around the park 3 times.  While my daughter and I walk around the park 1 time which is 5 miles.  At first I was dreading the whole idea, but it turned out to be motivating to see all the other people doing the same thing.  We all have lost plenty of inches and is more in shape.  Now we just have to get the eating under control.  I've been taking baby steps in our pantry makeover.  So far I've stopped all the soda pop, and junk foods.  Follow along over at mindingmydiet, as I walk through my journey of a healthy makeover.

What will you do Today, to build a stronger marriage?

Today I will make an effort to build a deeper connection with my Groom.  Sometimes, I disconnect or tune him out because he is determined to get his point across  Needless to say, and so am I.  Take time to read the article from a blog I follow... focusonthefamily.
