How to Get all the Sex You Want (or How to Want All You Get)

Helloooooo over there...
This last weekend there was a couple sitting in front of us in church.
Well, I'm guessing they were a couple.
They came in together. They left together. But they weren't really sitting next to each other. There was room for at least two large people between them.

I don't know what their argument was about. It might have been huge. It may have been something smallconflict in a marriage
Valentine's Day Crash and Burn...
I was chatting with a friend yesterday...
She isn't looking forward to Valentine's Day this year. Mostly it's due to last year's train wreck.

Disclosure -vs- Trust in a Marriage
Trust in a marriage is a cornerstone of any healthy relationship. Open communication is built on a foundation of trust, and trust increases with communication. They really build on each other within a marriage. If you don't trust your spouse, you're far more likely to be careful of the words you use. You might even hold back things that you should tell them out of uncertainty on how they're react. However, once the trust is broken, it will take some work to rebuild it, and that's whereTrust in a Marriage
Is it Possible to Have True Equality in Marriage?
Some of the worst ongoing fights in a marriage can be a result of inequalities in the marriage.
