Marriage, husbands and wives

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Recent conversations with husbands of various backgrounds revealed very worrisome feelings about how they feel about their wives. They describe them very negatively, using words like: “disappointed, unprepared, rude, wasteful, selfish, uncaring, neglectful, argumentative, and not knowing how to please men.” Very harsh generalizations,  don’t you think? Are wives really that different today? What do you think? There seems to be reason for concern because these types of complaints are could put already vulnerable families at risk for dissolution as well as affect the welfare of our children. So, what do you think about how wives behave today? I expect many women will react very strongly to this question, based on what husbands are saying. Maybe some husbands could also get their wife’s permission to post a comment?

Timing your divorce is crucial

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

The timing of your divorce is very crucial. In fact, when you divorce could affect your children throughout their lives. Therefore, if at all possible, do not divorce close to significant dates like major holidays, birthdays or other significant dates. Many children will associate those dates with major losses. Hence, this is something for you to think about very seriously as you embark on the life-altering decision of divorce.
