The Husband

Heart Makes The Father, And The Man

June 21, 2009

Here is the paradox about parenthood and marriage: having children with the person you love gives you a bajillion new reasons to adore each other, a kerpillion new horizons towards which your hearts, together, can shoot, an infinity of moments over which your hearts can, together, explode into a burst of white-hot stars, but, too, [...]

Love Knows No Tact

February 22, 2009

Me: So? What do you think? Husband: Does it say, belongs to Kyle? Me: No. It means, love knows no order. Husband: Not, belongs to Kyle? Me: No. Husband: I suppose I can live with it.

The Amazing Survivor Race Challenge: Parenting Edition

February 17, 2009

Babies are hard on a marriage. It’s sort of ironic, really, seeing as babies are so often understood (rightly or wrongly) to represent core bonds of a life partnership, but still: for every measure of centripetal force that they exert upon a relationship and bind partners more closely, babies exert a half measure – maybe [...]

Where’s the Guide to Chocoholic-Proofing Your Marriage?

February 16, 2007

I ask you, is pilfering and sampling of one’s Valentine’s gift by one’s spouse (the giver) a good reason to get pissy with said spouse? A Valentine’s heart, pillaged and scavenged, left with only the half-bitten carcasses of unwanted fondant. A clear case of marital (and confectionary) delinquency – but one warranting punishment? (In my [...]
