Why Am I Mr. Marriage?

[image error]

[image error]At the beginning of the week I had a wonderful time watching Anthony Robbins tape his new show.  Now I can't give any details about the show, because that would kill the surprise. Nobody wants to hear how the story ends before they even get the book started.  So I am not going to cheat you or Tony by saying anything more about the show.

However, I will share an exercise Tony did with the audience, because that will not be on the program.  It was a great experience because it took a memory of ...

When To Move In

[image error]

[image error]I responded to this blog created by Meredith Goldstein in the Boston Globe yesterday August 25th 2009, and I thought I would share my answer with you all as well.

When is right? No, not to get married, but I would love to hear your and your readers thoughts on when is it right to move in together with a significant other. My boyfriend and I have been dating over a year and we're starting to discuss it.

He has never lived with a significant other before. I lived with one of my exes for several ...

No Excuses! Date

[image error]

[image error]I wanted to share with you a podcast I did with HITCHED.  They are a great social networking organization that focuses on married couples. They provide all kinds of resources for relationships, but what I wanted to talk about on their pod cast was Date Night.

Did you know a weekly date night is the number one recommendation given by Marriage Therapists?  And for good reason, most of our marriages are starving to death.  Think about it…what do relationships feed on? How do relationships keep t...

Passionless Sex

[image error]

My wife says that she has never been sexually atrracted to me. She doesn't dislike sex with me but just doesn't have that passion. Her psychiatrist told her that she either has that or doesn't.  It wasnt't something that could be obtained. It is starting to put a lot of stress on our marriage. Do you agree with her psychiatrist's opinion?

Passionless Sex thanks for you question,

[image error]If I am hearing your question correctly, this is not a sex question as much as a passion issue.  It sounds like the ...

Great Relationship Just No Sex

[image error]

[image error]My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and currently live together. He has no problem with non-sexual affection: we are constantly cuddling, he kisses me frequently, we hold hands all the time, he holds me at night, and even writes the occassional love note.

The only problem in our relationship is sex. We only have sex if I initiate it and since I have stopped initiating it out of frustration we only have sex 2-3 times per month. I have talked to him about it a few times and he...

Arjuna's Dilemma

[image error]

Dear Mr. Marriage,

I am from India. I met a woman when I was 19 and kept in contact with her. As a matter of affection, I called her as elder sister and introduced her to my parents as sister. Even she tied rakhi to me once. But then slowly we kept meeting with my parents knowing about this. This meeting was possible because she is divorced and has a child from her previous marriage (who is now 8 years old). She is 11 years senior to me (I am 24 now). I married her without my parents knowing ...

Relationship Rubric

RELATIONSHIP QUIZ DOWNLOAD

[image error] Lynda, my wife, is an educator and she is always creating new tools to use in the classroom.  One such instrument is a rubric. Lynda tells me, "It makes something that is subjective more objective." What that means is when a teacher wants a student to understand the difference between an "A" and a "B", he/she will create a worksheet that has all the different criteria on it.  The instructor then sometimes places number values which will clarify things.  "If the...
