Is the current economy wreaking havoc on your marriage? Have financial stresses made you feel like SEX with your partner is out of the question? This is interesting because it is almost akin to eating an entire pizza and then shoving down a pint of ice cream Devin Singletary Jersey , you feel that unattractive. Money is an amazingly powerful tool! Yes, I know I hate that it is a reality and today we are feeling it more than ever.
What tends to suffer first however are our relationships! We all know the statistics on money and marriage, what is interesting is that just adding more money to the pot is not the only way (or the best way) to get through these tough times!
I feel compelled to quote an article that was written in Associated Content
"Middle and high-income marriages may fight over spending levels Cody Ford Jersey , who is earning moreless money, the authority to spend the money, and whether each partner is doing hisher share. Women Ed Oliver Jersey , in today's society, are at less financial risk than ever before. As a result, many women expect men to help with the traditional household chores. Since many men still believe this to be woman's work Zay Jones Jersey , the equal partnership with both partners bringing in an income, can create problems that are essentially created by money."
This to me is a really interesting phenomenon because as women business owners we are contributing to every level possible within our households-regardless of the monetary amount. However men do not seem to want to partake in any of the additional chores or household work that needs to be done, at least not around here. This typically starts the conversation about nagging which leads to complete resentment Tre'Davious White Jersey , frustration SEX.
What secrets do I have about keeping my marriage alive and hot, even with two children and a husband who works 10 hrs a day outside the home? (well that is one of my secrets:0)
1) Hire a housekeeper that does your laundry Hire a housekeeper that does your laundry (unless you are one of those rare women who enjoy doing laundry and feel tranquil and peaceful as you are folding socks)
For me this was a revolutionary moment in or household! My constant nagging was reduced (a little), my resentment of moping floors just to have my 2 year old throw rice and tomato sauce on the floor two hours later was lightened (because at least now I shared the resentment with our housekeeper Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , just kidding) and I had MORE time to do things that I wanted to do (which is typically making money in my business) sexy right?
Who is all hot and bothered by folding laundry and picking up chewed pieces of food? Not me baby. Check out a great resource I recommend by clicking here.
2) Do a serious SELF evaluation. I know these can be scary-and as women we tend to automatically internally beat our selves up. So I am not talking about a self bashing. I am talking about a serious sit down with who you are on the inside, what you look like on the outside and HOW you are portraying yourself to the world. Are you in alignment with WHO you want to be?
3) Buy some freakin lingerie already! I know those of you who are familiar with my thoughts on this subject may be tired of hearing it. I don't care! If you can not look in your lingerie drawer right now and get excited about a special pair of pretty panties then you need an overhaul. Click here to see some of my favorites hanky panky's!
4) Kiss your husband when he leaves in the morning and when walks in the door at night! Kiss him like you used to kiss before sex was a viable option. Yes I know you are tired, kids are running around Josh Allen Jersey , dinner needs to be made IT! It changes everything. We are so caught up in all that is around us every minute of every day. When your spouse walks in, remind yourself why you are married to him. A quick tip (try to imagine him feeling every bit of passion you have for him in that very moment, it works wonders) It can also set the stage for an afternoon quickie! If your spouse works close by I strongly recommend this-especially since the same old bedtime routine in between the sheets is the LAST thing we want to resort to after a day with screaming kids Jim Kelly Jersey , traffic, bills and brainstorming sessions.
5) ASK FOR is hard for all of us. My husband loves to be involved with my business, he will research Wholesale Bills Jerseys , proofread, email, make phone it's funny he is not the first one to jump up and do the dishes when I need to get back to the office. So when he says can I do anything I say YES "empty the dishwasher and make the kids lunches" then we get into a million questions about what he should put in the kids lunches-but that's another topic.
6) Pay Yourself! Ok I may get a lot of flack on this one-b
