Keeping it Fresh: The Blackout Technique

It's become easier than ever these days to get bogged down with distractions. We live in the age of cell phones that do anything a laptop can do, and jobs where it's increasingly difficult not to take your work home. These factors make it easier to get sucked into a routine or build walls between you and your spouse. For this reason, I suggest a tactic I call The Blackout. This is a simple....

Jarrett: Essential Man Note - "PQ," What it is and Why You Need it in Marriage

I was at a house party one Friday night this past Summer chatting it up with a friend (female) of the host. It was a pretty decent gathering of friends--iPod on blast, plenty of drinks flowing and as much finger food as you could stomach. Since it was one of those calm summer nights, everyone was feeling pretty good at this point because there was no shortage of alcohol and the vibe just lent...

Jarrett: Motivation with a happy ending :)

For the past few months, I've been doing some online work to make some extra money for us. Basically, I came upon an opportunity that lets me do as much or as little of this work when I have free time. This comes in handy because we came upon a bunch of unforseen hospital bills due to conceiving and losing a baby (touched on here. I'll go more in depth about that as we get more...

Maria: Being Sexy is Too Much Work

Now, I'm not one for new year resolutions but I've been telling myself that I'm gonna lose weight for at least a year and a half now and I think that's long enough. I've just recently gotten a stationary bike and am very excited about it. I've looked up some workout stuff and found that i can achieve results in just ten minutes a day. Now, you may be flattening your lips into a "yea right" position...

Apologies and a "Happy Ending" update

Hey all, sorry I haven't updated in a while. Life has been a little bit hectic so I haven't been on the blog as much as I would have liked.

Anyway, just thought I'd give an update on the agreement that Maria and I came up with. The agreement still stands, but I've eased off of it. I had been doing a good amount of the extra work on the side, and Maria had been holding up her end of the deal. After the first few times she "delivered," I decided to leave it alone and not even tell her when it was time to pay up.

Why? Well... The main reason is that I didn't want to take the enthusiasm out of our sex life. She was ready and willing to deliver, but when I sat and thought about it I decided I'd rather keep things as fresh and organic as possible. It was my fear that one day soon things would get hot and heavy and she'd pause and tell me that she already settled her debt or that this covers her tab for the next few arrangements. I think this deal could still work out, but I don't want to cause a wire to cross in her brain that automatically equates "happy endings" with work and obligation.
