Karri and I tackled some heavy issues this week in the Marriage Blog. In case you missed any of it, here’s your Week in Review to catch you up with what we wrote on:
Monday, October 15
For National Domestic Violence Awareness Month I researched what domestic violence is, who it affects, and how to deal with it. What I came up with was seven facts to be aware of. Karri examined the effect having a baby has on a marriage, including the stresses and the roller coaster of emotions couples may go through.

A bad experience Wayne and I had with a haunted amusement attraction provoked Halloween Horror Nights: Can Your Marriage Survive It? Karri always knew she wanted to be a wife and a mother but realizes there are some people that never marry. She takes a look at the pros and cons of this option.

The Hills sparked yet another musing for me, this time in regards to Lauren and Jason and when “the” ex proposes to someone else (as Jason did). Karri expanded her musings about something too, her article from the day before. This time she was back with Why Some People Never Marry, in which she listed the reasons some stay single.

In the first of my three part segment featuring Mrs. Hawes of Ghost Hunters fame I looked at what it’s going to take to make a marriage last. The second part was a breakdown of the questions I posed to her. The third part presented her answers. Karri examined what happens when you’ve been married for years and find yourself single again for whatever reason (be it divorce or death of a spouse) and what an adjustment that can be.

I cannot imagine anything more heart wrenching for a marriage to have to endure than losing a child, which is something Karri examined in Couples Dealing with the Death of a Child. A few years back I had a horrible experience which I recounted in Parts I and II of The Day a Lump Entered My Marriage.

Karri looked at another way Death can affect a marriage and explained why there’s no right way to cope except what’s best for you when you’re dealing with the death of a spouse.
Sunday, October 21
Ah…a blessed day of rest for us!
