Twitter, Facebook......Safer, fun, but helping your marriage?

Those who are spending hours on  Facebook, etc. are communicating, but not with the person who counts most. If your spouse wants to spend large amounts of time on the computer, discuss your feelings about it. Are you feeling neglected and unloved as a result? Perhaps an agreement can be reached to limit the time allocated to the computer.
Here's an idea on how to use the computer in a positive way. My husband and I choose topics to discuss at night. I like to check my computer for the news of the day so that I have something interesting to bring up. It keeps the evening hours lively and interesting...and it keeps us away from the addictiveness of the computer. Yes, it's utilizing the computer, but in a way to stimulate more 'real' conversations.  The news sites offer everything from current events in the world to entertainment news. There's something for everyone! Give it a try.

Stock market plunges and so does the marriage

Could there be a worse time for selling your stock portfolio? The stock market is plunging and your 'paper' money is losing its worth daily. Don't sell out now. That's for cowards....Stay with it and wait for good things to start happening. The stock market goes through cycles.

Same with your marriage...Things couldn't look worse, but I'm suggesting that you don't bail out. The only time I  would strongly suggest bailing out is if you are married to someone who physically abuses you or is a sociopath. Otherwise, don't be  a coward. Working on the marriage can make you and the marriage stronger. Face the problems and discuss them with your partner. If you can't work things out, go to a therapist, alone or together. Marriage is not a disposable item. Save your marriage!
