Marriage Types: Long Distance

Posted on by

Different marriage types for different couples have been a major focus of my last few articles. The latest took the age at which couples marry into consideration. Previously I have also examined the commitment style of the couples. Some couples choose to be very committed while others are much more relaxed on the dos and don’ts of marriage. Now I will turn my focus on location. To most couples, marriage is waking up each morning together and going to bed each night together.

Travel Tips: Keeping the Memories Alive

The busy summer travel season is winding down. Soon kids will be back in school and a trip to grandma’s house, a vacation to visit a favorite cousin, or a flight to see your brother’s new baby will be just a memory. I know. I deal with long distance relationships on a daily basis. My 2-year-old daughter is my mother’s shadow and my mom wouldn’t have it any other way. The only problem: grandma lives in Hawaii… approximately 5000 miles away from our home in Wisconsin. I’m sure many families can relate to our scenario. Whether you are 5000 or … Continue reading →
