Holy Matrimony or Shacking Up?

Heartfelt Marriage ·

2018/01/11

Some couples think shacking up (cohabitation) helps them move toward a real marriage. Others want to see if they are truly compatible before they take the plunge. Still, others do it for practical reasons – so they can save money on rent or share childcare responsibilities. But is shacking up a good idea? Listen to Dr. Ross’ second podcast on Holy Matrimony or Shacking up for the practical side of cohabitation. In this podcast, Dr. Ross presents three real-life reasons why shacking up before

If you or someone you know is thinking about moving in with their “significant other,” you might want to check with an attorney before you do. You will be more surprised than pleased by the obligations you incur when you present yourself to the world as a married couple, but you are not married. In this podcast, Dr. Ross does not give legal advice (he is not an attorney), but he does wave some legal warning flags for “living together couples.” Hear his ten warnings to consider before you or someone

“Love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage,” so sang Frank Sinatra back in the 1950s concluding with, “You can’t have one without the other!” Oh yes, you can. There are lots of loveless marriages out there. How many couples do you know that were once hot lovers but are now barely tolerant of each other? Maybe even you and your mate. In this podcast, Dr. Ross gives you the three steps you must take if you want your marriage marked by heartfelt love, profound love, and abiding love. If

Bad Marriage Advice: Your Mate Should be Your Best...

Heartfelt Marriage ·

2017/12/07

The “best friend” status is hard to define because men and women are different, in case you haven’t noticed. Husband, your wife is not one of the guys. She’s not your substitute fraternity brother or your regular fishing buddy. She’s not your mentor or your counselor or your advice-giver. She’s a woman who has and needs girlfriends, and she’s your wife. And wife, your husband is not one of the girls. He’s not your giddy girlfriend or your shopping partner. He probably won’t enjoy long conversations

Is it a good idea to “always tell the truth” to your mate? Some marriage advisors say so, and as a rule, honesty is the best policy. However, you should no more become a blatant liar than a blatant truth teller. After all, you hate it when someone tells you something about you or about someone you love that you don’t want to know or need to know. In this Podcast, Dr. Ross discusses the issue of white lies as well as the wisdom to keep quiet about some things you have done or said in the past. The

Bad Marriage Advice Part 7: Don't Fight About Money

Heartfelt Marriage ·

2017/11/23

Of all the things in life, there is nothing easier to fight about than money. Why? Because money is an integral part of your daily life. No day passes without the spending of money in one way or another. It can be something as important as the rent or a car payment, or something as insignificant as a candy bar at the check-out counter or a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Every time you spend or save money you touch yourself at a deep emotional level. Each of you has a unique “money personality:” you

Meet Amy Alexander Sylvestre, a young mother who lives in suburban Chicago with her husband and young child. She has joined me as a co-author on a variety of topics related to marriage. When I started to write Bad Marriage Advice Part 6: Put Your Kids First, I knew I needed a fresh voice, a female voice, and of course, a Christian voice. Amy met that description.

Every married couple wants to be happy. They want their marriage to be happy; they want their down days to be few and their nights of romantic ecstasy to be many. When their fantasy of perpetual happiness is shattered by arguments, insecurity, bad decisions, financial struggles, betrayal, addictions, sexual dissatisfaction, etc., they pop a few antidepressants or they look around for something or someone who can make them happy. True happiness is never found in another person or in stuff or in

Bad Marriage Advice Part 4: Always Follow Your Heart

2017/10/31

Your emotions are volatile! “My heart skipped a beat when she entered the room!” Ecstasy. “When he turned away and left me standing on the beach by myself, my heart was broken.” Despair. Both are matters of the heart! They are how you feel: your immediate reaction to a person, a comment, or an event. You can feel madly in love after a weekend of relaxation, conversation, and lovemaking, but by Tuesday you can be back to the grind of surviving another day with “the old lady,” or another night with

Bad Marriage Advice - Part 3

“Be honest, brutally honest. That is what’s going to maintain relationships.” This “bad marriage advice” quote is attributed to Lauryn Hill, a singer/songwriter. I want to ask Ms. Hill a couple of questions: Which do you enjoy the most, Ms. Hill, the brutality or the honesty? Also, Ms. Hill, when you’re on the receiving end of brutal honesty, which draws you closer to your critic, the brutality, their ruthlessness, and harshness, or is it their honesty? In most marriage relationships, most of the

A recently divorced husband or wife says, “I don’t know what happened, he (or she) just blew up, screamed like a howling monkey, and stalked out the door. In a few weeks I got a registered letter from an attorney, and a few months later we were in divorce court.” One (and maybe both) people in that relationship kept score of all the bad stuff that happened between them. That is the kind of scorekeeping someone means when they advise a married couple, “Don’t keep score.” and of course, they are

There is a never-ending supply of advice for married couples – some of it is very bad. Here are a few examples: “If your relationship is in trouble, have a baby. It always makes everyone cheer up and be happy.” Uhhhh no. A pregnant woman with morning sickness followed by a crying newborn baby with colic does not make either father or mother cheer up and be happy. This piece of genius advice no doubt came from a man. He said, “Sex should always, 100% of the time, be mind-blowing and transcendent. If

By 8:00 pm that night the pain around my heart had increased substantially. I figured it was one of those gas bubbles created by the extra-bacon BLT I made myself a few hours earlier. Problem was, it kept getting worse. I changed sitting positions, swallowed some antacids, took a short walk, drank a couple of glasses of lukewarm water, and more. No relief, so I took a couple of more antacids and drank another glass of water. Put on my PJs and watched some TV. Problem was, it kept getting worse. When

My wife, Amy, loved flowers. Every spring she bought a variety of potted plants and decorated our front porch and yard with beautiful blooming flowers. There was something I noticed about this – those flowers were beautiful, but they took a lot of work, a lot of watering and feeding and nurturing. Your marriage is no different than that porch-full of potted plants – your marriage can be beautiful, but it takes a lot of work, a lot of watering and feeding and nurturing.

When your marriage gets BORING – then what?

Heartfelt Marriage ·

2017/09/20

Boredom in marriage can be the most dangerous and insidious problem you face. Boredom can cause your mate to look somewhere else for passion, delight, or excitement, and there is nothing more exhilarating than an illicit extra-marital affair. Why? Because it is anything but boring. It is passionate and hot-blooded and seductive. The root-word for seductive is "seduce." To seduce means “to lead astray,” “to corrupt.” It is easy to be seduced if you are in a boring marriage. This podcast is Part 2

I was happier, and so was everyone around me! Is it possible you still have some of that preschooler mentality that YOU are the center of the universe, and all of God’s creation is here to serve you?
