Good morning ladies,
I hope you have been well. I received this email yesterday from a woman about her husband and how he has changed. They have only been married two years and she is already going through it. She told me it was fine to put the email on this blog in hopes that other married women will give their viewpoint or perspective. Please read this and feel free to share. You never know what another woman is going through and you never know how your story can help change theirs.

Hello,
I have been married 2 years. I saw your blogs and I had to talk about my life with my husband.I don’t know what to do about him, though. He acts like he don’t even want to give me a say in anything we do, he doesn’t respect me, like when I don’t want to be touched, he does it anyway, like at night, he always touches some place on me and I can’t sleep. And he seems to be agreeing with everyone else about me and seems to love his mother more than he loves me, and makes me feel like I’m just a bad wife. And also, I want to ask a question- when your husband is done with sex you tell him not to continue but he does, can that be considered rape? I don’t want a divorce, but I’m frustrated and honestly needing something more from him than he’s giving me right now. I do want to hold on to him, and I have patience, but honestly he’s testing me and I am feeling ready to separate from him. I love him, but he’s really testing me, and I find myself asking where did the sweet man I married go? What do I do to make it better? I want both of us to be happy.
Married life isn't always easy, but with the right person - It is always worth it. This blog is my journey in the mighty married life, showing the good, bad & the great. The hubby, the kids & just life! Some topics are sensitive and some are a blast! Either way, I am going to try to enjoy life!

Her mother said, "If you want a husband, you gotta start having sex!"
On my way home from taking my daughter to school I turned on the Steve Harvey Morning show, and heard the strawberry letter. Read below:
I am a beautiful, shy, intelligent 27 year old virgin who recently ended a 6 months relationship with my boyfriend that I met online. I started online dating again and communicated with this guy that we have a lot of shared interest. Conversation was good until we started talking about our views on premarital sex. I told him that I wanted to wait until I was married to have sex of any kind. He told me that most men want sex and that he needs to feel close to the person that he is in a relationship with. His previous relationship ended because his girlfriends stop having sex with him. He told me that he respects my views, so he feels our relationship would not work. I told my mother the situation and she agreed with the guy, she jokingly hinted that I should have premarital sex or I might end up alone. She said that it is rare to find a man that would wait until marriage to have sex. Is this true and are my standards set too high? My mother also thinks that I will be missing out on a good guy for me if I do not start sleeping with these guys before marriage. I am confuse, and I don't know what to think. I fear that I might end up alone if I don't change my views. Society glorifies premarital sex and looks down on you if you are a virgin at a certain age. I read your book and I know you said that guys like standards but is my standard unreasonable? Thank you.
The thing that shocked me the most were the comments that came from her mother. You would expect something like that from friends (sometimes) or even guys, but your mother? Usually the mother is the main one, telling her daughter to hold on to her values. It just really surprised me. I am Christian and try to live my life with those standards (that doesn't mean I am perfect, I have done wrong before and it's a chance I will again). With that being said, I would not ever push my daughter into something that is immoral based on values. Having sex before marriage is not against the law but based on beliefs (of what the lady who wrote the letter believes) its a standard she has set for herself. Most mothers (parents) have a desire to raise their children better than how they were raised. Even if they had a great childhood, a parent would raise them with their great values (they grew up with) and add to that. To hear a mother who has a child - who is actually striving to maintain certain values and not settle - actually tell her that maybe she should go against this standard to get something (that may or may not happen) was unsettling. How many guys have you had sex with? How many proposed? Just asking.
Steve Harvey gave great advice. I gave the same advice but nobody heard me because I was in my car talking to the radio. Steve said that she should not give in. If she set standards for herself, she should not lower her standards because a man is threatening to walk away. If she was dating this man for 6 months and he is willing to walk away because she won't give him sex, than he really doesn't love her (because if he did he would wait) and maybe he is not HER man (meaning not the one for her.). One good point that was brought up, did she discuss her choice before they got to deeply involved? I would not wait 6 months to tell a guy I don't want to have sex before marriage but I wouldn't tell him on the first date either. Somewhere in between the first kiss and the first sex conversation. Another great point that was brought up, was that the guy has a right to also want what he wants. Which is true. If he has standards that he requires or desires sex before marriage then he has that right. The tussle come in because - who is going to bend on their requirements or standards? You or Him? If you waited 27 years to have sex and after 6 months a guy threatens to leave if you don't give it up - is it (your virginity) worth keeping or giving? What if you give it up and he still doesn't marry you? What if he does? Is it worth a try?
The other main issue here is that so many women lower their standards now-a-days for fear of not getting or keeping a man. It's a difference between standards and compromise. For example, if you hate potato salad but your man loves it, you can compromise. He can not eat it around you or not expect for you to cook it. But it's nothing to break up over. But say you don't have a desire to smoke. For me, any man that smokes is my personal deal breaker. It's a health thing, plus it stinks and the second hand issues. So [single] ladies, know your standards/deal-breakers versus what you are willing to compromise and stick with it. You deserve to be happy because marriage is hard enough when he is the one, and when he is the perfect one for you! Can you imagine what marriage will be like if you gave in - in the beginning of the relationship for fear or because you thought you could change that man! (OMG that is another blog - changing a man!)

He wants a WHAT? A DIVORCE!
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.
She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?
I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.
She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane.
When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.
This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.
She requested that every day for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.
I told Jane about my wife's divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.
My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.
On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.
Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.
I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.
She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.
Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.
At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.
That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.
My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push thru with the divorce.-- At least, in the eyes of our son--- I'm a loving husband....
The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!
Now this story is not about me and my husband, but it really did touch my heart. I thought about him (my hubby) throughout the story and our intimacy and even what the wife might have been thinking. The ending shocked me more than anything. You really never know what you have until you almost lose it or actually do lose it. I would have love to see her alive and see what could have been restored in their marriage and relationship. Now I am left thinking what is next for the husband. I felt his heartbreak when he said what he saw when he came home. Marriage is work period. And when I say marriage, I don't mean the children aspect but the Marriage-Husband/Wife relationship. You have to work daily to make your relationship the way you want it. It is ok if it's a work in progress. As long as it's progressing daily for the better. My husband once told me that it's worth it for us to be married 20 years if we get better every year, because it's not about now but about the end result. I was really shocked at that statement, because I know I drive my husband crazy at times. The fact that he still wants to make it to the end and looks forward to how we progress left me speechless. Have a great weekend and have a happy marriage.

Just a few things.....
Good Monday Morning Ladies.
Today is my 7th Wedding Anniversary. Wow 10 years together, 7 years married. Time has really gone by. I am really not sure what we are going to do today and honestly it's not a big deal. It's not a big deal because we just went on a cruise and had a great time, so I told him don't spend any extra on me. Only thing I wanted to do because we are both at home today and the children are at school, is go to the movies to see Takers. Not sure if that will happen because my grandparents are visiting me from Tennessee and she (granny) might want me to run her around. We'll see. I am still thinking about the fact that I have been married 7 years! Who would have thought? Who would have thought how hard marriage would be? How much sacrificing I would have to do? No one ever tells you that! Who would have thought about all the great things that happen just because you're married as well? If you are single and never been married - MARRIAGE IS WORK! Marriage (a good marriage) is a blessing too. And I will honestly admit that I have a GOOD husband. I am truly thankful.
WIVES READ TOO!
That leads me to my next topic, Getting to Happy written by Terry McMillian, and how this books takes place 15 years later (from where Waiting to Exhale left off). We are reading this book, so please get it and be ready to discuss it! But it's a 362 page book. I am on page 208 and started reading this book Friday! It's a page turner and now that I am older and married I can relate so much more to SOME of the things they say and I have friends that I can identify in this book too. Most of all it makes me think about my own marriage and wonder ........ I will wait for the book discussion to say it. Friday, we went out to dinner with 5 other married couples and 2 of the women mentioned the book club and asked have we started reading the book? OF COURSE LADIES! GET THE BOOK! We are reading! We are reading! :)

Boys Booked on Barbershops is a national, cutting edge literacy program designed to make the most of naturally occurring opportunities for young children to read in familiar neighborhood sites such as barbershops. Mocha Moms chapters throughout the country are working with barbershops in their communities to set up reading nooks with a wide variety of books designed to spark the interest of young boys. The overall goal of B-BOB is to facilitate the ongoing practice of reading as boys make their regular visits to barbershops.
Have a great day ladies and please continue to send me topics!
P.S.
I hear my granny in the kitchen talking to my husband..................I guess I have to go now! LOL
