LOVE BOMBS

Most people live there lives and collect some sort of plan along the way about how their life will play out.  Some even have things like 5 and 10 years plans.  This is all well and good, but what happens when those plans don't play out as expected.  Can you handle a course change?  What do you do when the plans you made don't work out like they are "supposed to"?

So we all know right from wrong, right? We all define it the same way, don't we? Well maybe there are some circumstances where we can bend the rules a bit from time to time....or are there.  Dave and I discuss the concept of being morally flexible when it comes to work, love and family.  Where do you draw the line?  Are there exceptions?

In laws are the people that come along with that person you have chosen to love.  Sometimes they are great, sometimes they are a challenge.  But no mater who they are and how they are you can be sure there are lessons to learn.

I have been fighting a cold/allergy thing lately and it got me thinking. Did I get sick because my emotional state is off?  It's happened before and I do believe in a mind body connection with illness.  So are you making yourself sick?

Have you called or been yourself called a creep?  What's that all about?  Today we talk about the words we use, what is intended by them and what we do with that information.  Are you a creep?

There are some amazing things we can do with technology and it can certainly keep us connected.  But how often do you or your partner opt to stare at your phone instead of actually being engaged and present with the person in front of you?  Is technology distracting us from living our lives?

Yeah, yeah I know you don't want to make waves, don't want to inconvenience anyone and want to avoid any kind of conflict.  Well guess what with all that passive action you life is probably not as awesome as it could be.  Are you living your life in passive voice and why are you doing it?

I love, love, love movies, particularly romantic ones.  Once upon a time those movies helped shape my ideas of love.  Well I'm much more grown up now, but are these movies still haunting my ideas on love?What is your favorite romantic flick and has it helped or harmed your love life?

I see it every day.  People being knocked down for sharing the fact that they are OK with who they are.  Why are people so angry and why do they feel the need to knock down those humans who decide to march to their own drum, find happiness in who they are.  Some days it feels like the whole world in full of bitter, angry people.Why are you angry that I'm happy?Here is the post from The Militant Baker that started this rant :) http://www.themilitantbaker.com/2015/01/why-people-hate-tess-munster-and-other.html

We now live in a world where people can comment on everything all the time and take absolutely no responsibility for what they say....thanks internet. While I think there is a time and a place for commentary, sometimes it's best to say nothing at all if you can't behave in a responsible respectful manner.Do you think all websites should allow comments?

We have all been wronged at least once in our lives.  Yes, it hurtsbut do you need to stoop to their level and release yourwrath?  What purpose does it serve?Have you ever gotten revenge on someone "who done you wrong"?

So I heard a rumor that people don't always live up to their datingprofiles.....in fact sometimes they are entirely different people!Shocking, I know.  So the question is, why do people feel compelled to lie. Why is it not enough to be simply who they are?Do you lie online?

I have never been a baby kind of person.  I mean they are great for other people but for whatever reason I never got that baby-making bug, the clock never ticked, an alarm never went off.  Dave and I thankfully were on the same page about kids when we got married and spend this podcast sharing our feelings about babies and why we aren't having them.

This is our New Year's Day show!  First of all, lighten up on yourself about those resolutions.  It's great to have some goals that aim you towards change and growth, but don't beat yourself up over your past.  Today we talk about making some changes in your life and also being compassionate about your progress.Do you have romantic resolutions for the new year?

It's the end of the year and a perfect time to clear out your literal and emotional clutter.  If you don't you are just clogging up your space and won't be able to let all the awesome in. What clutter can you let go of and make some room for awesome?

I can't stand those commercials telling us that we are huge losers if we don't have a romantic relationship during the holidays.  Well it just isn't so.  There are many ways to spend the holidays and it doesn't require mistletoe and a significant other to make them special.  Oh and now might not be the time to dive into online dating.... We have some ideas on how to make your season bright so give us a listen.

Today is a tough but important podcast.  I talk about my past abusive relationship and about how the memories and moments that changed you may not be the same for other people.  We should always be mindful that we are making memories and also be able to let go when closure doesn't look like how you pictured it.We are always making memories, just be sure you are making the kind you want to be remembered for.

This show is dedicated to horrible dating profiles.  Dave and I browsed the Craigslist dating profiles and I'm here to tell you people it's not pretty. First we ask WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU POST THAT? And then we give some tips on how to tweak that profile into something more successful.I think I need a mental palate cleanser now....

Travel is a really great test of your relationship.  It's sort of like a microcosm of your relationship.  How do you handle the stress of missed flights, getting lost and being in a foreign land.  If you can weather that you might have a fighting chance at a good relationship.Do you travel well with your partner?

Now that Dave and I have been married for a year.  We thought it was best to revisit this legally binding decision and see how we feel about our marriage now.  Was it what we thought it would be?  Do we want to keep this party going?
