When to have Kids?This seems to be an age old question that couples ask themselves… When should we have kids? Men and women tend to think differently when this subject comes up. The roles can be swapped as well. Some relationships can suffer from differing ideals about having children and the timing at which to pursue having kids. Romance can dwindle, sparks can sputter out, and the relationship can diminish fast if a man and woman are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Having kids can be a blessing and a hindrance from what I hear from some wise and well-traveled adults.

Timing is everything when deciding to have kids. Finances need to be in order so money is not a problem when the little one arrives or when you decide to pursue having kids. Some people dive right into having kids with no worry whatsoever about money and financial stability. These couples can either make it or struggle through life. Children are a blessing and can bring joy and happiness to couple if they are both ready.

Discuss the idea of having kids early in the stages of a serious relationship. The late stage of dating is a good place to ask this question. Do not assume that the man or women of your dreams feels the same way you do about having kids. It is always best to ask. Don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed to ask this delicate question. Dating is where you find out if you are indeed compatible with one another. Why wouldn’t you want to learn everything you can about your potential life mate? After all, you have to live life with this significant other for the rest of your life. Do not go into a marriage/serious relationship without talking about having kids.

I have heard countless stories about couples feeling that they are ready for marriage and progress to that stage of life. They get married and the wife wants to have kids right away or the husband wants to have kids right away. Both individuals may have a different time table in their heads which they want to follow. It is important to learn these details so some common ground can be found. Don’t be stubborn and hard-headed. Compromise with your significant other and make a decision. Be happy with the decision that you both want to make right now. Continue reading ‘When to Have Kids’

Healthy competition in a relationship is good for the soul. Couples tend to spend a lot of time with each other and do not interact with other people. Healthy relationships are built with hard work, love, affection, and competition. The Nintendo Wii brings a new element to a gaming console. Flailing arms, jerky movements, and hard laughter come about when Wii Sports is played with a loved one. Watching your significant other playing a game can be funny and create a fun time together of laughter. I get too carried away when I bowl. I go through the motions and really sling my arm like I would with a real bowling ball. B laughs at me and we have fun. Laughter builds strong relationships.

We bought our Wii when they first came out. It was so much fun to play the free game that came with it. We played every night and we had a riot. I felt like I was twelve years old again. We were competitive and that was OK. Some couples can have problems with too much competition. Being competitive and having fun can turn a cold winter’s night or a rainy day into a fun time with your significant other.

Laughter is the medicine that soothes the soul. I was attracted to B for her fun laugh and sense of humor. Playing the Wii will generate a ton of laughter. We plan on buying some more games when the new Mario Kart and Mario game come out later this year.

We also enjoy having other couples over to play the Wii. We can play team tennis with them and have an awesome time. Some couples will want to buy the gaming console because they had so much fun with their significant other. I feel that video games on the Wii can now include more people than just young kids.Nintendo Wii

An article in the Chicago Tribune talks about Nintendo Wii’s finding themselves in retirement homes:

A lot of grandparents are being taught by their grandkids. But, now, some grandparents are instead teaching their grandkids.

The Wii has become so popular at Sedgebrook that on Sunday afternoon there will be a video game bowling tournament in the lounge. More than 20 residents have signed up to compete.

“We’ll even have a fan for people to dry their hands before they bowl,” said Dierbach, head of Sedgebrook’s entertainment committee.

If the retirees in Lincolnshire are any proof, video games are no longer just kids’ play.

My Grandma played Wii Bowling over Christmas and enjoyed it. She laughed harder than anybody in the room.

This is proof that video games can generate relationships and also strengthen them through a sense of fun and community with both couples, friends, and all ages.

It is amazing to me what some people search for online. I have been getting a ton of search hits for “How to Swing Wife.” Swinging together can be a key attribute to a healthy relationship. It creates a quite time for you and your wife to talk and enjoy the weather. You can meet new people and even hang out with kids. That’s right…Hang out with kids while swinging on a swing set with your wife. Everybody thought I was talking about being a swinger with your wife. Trying to get your wife to be a swinger is bad for your relationship. Staying committed to your significant other is important for a healthy relationship.

Some people don’t know how to swing fluently and they search online for how-to’s that teach them the steps for something. Swinging with your wife can be relaxing and enjoyable if you know how to swing correctly.

It would be ideal if you could find a swing set that has two open swings side-by-side. You can sit right next to your husband or wife and swing. This allows you to look at each other and even hold hands. There is something special about doing things that you once did as a child as an adult. It makes you and your wife feel like a kid again. Swinging can bring on conversations with your wife that will strengthen your marriage and create an even tighter bond between the two of you.

Let’s get into the logistics of swinging correctly with your husband or wife. Find a swing set in a quite park. Make sure there a two swings side-by-side to aid in making conversation easier and allow the holding of hands if desired.
Swing Set
How to swing properly with your wife or husband:

  1. Sit in the swing.
  2. Walk backwards till you can barely touch the ground.
  3. Lift your feet and begin to swing and lean backwards with your legs straight out in front of you.
  4. Lean forward and move your legs under and towards you as you swing at the highest point.
  5. Hold this position till you are at the highest point in the back swing and then begin to lean back and pump your legs straight out in front of you.
  6. Keep repeating this pumping motion as you swing back and forth.

That is how to swing. You and your significant other can now swing side by side. You can swing slow and talk or you can see who can swing the highest. You could also have a jumping contest if you body is able to see who can land farther out from the swing set. This works well if you and your significant other are competitive. Just be careful so you don’t injure yourself.

Swinging on a swing set can be a nice relaxing activity to get you and your wife or husband to get outside and enjoy the weather. Now you know how to swing with your wife. Remember; be safe while you are swinging with your significant other.
