Hi Frugal Villagers, Can you help me with a relationship difficulty? I find out that money management was a big challenge in my last relationship. The difficulty was to take the time to sit down and plan our budget/spedings together. I easely see the benefits of a well designed budget, but she...

My daughter just called very upset.. She just got back with a guy she had been engaged to twice in the past (she broke it off).. He is a good guy and she realized he is the one.. Well, a couple years ago his best friend (which use to be my daughters boyfriend, she introduced them) got with a...

I've been having a few problems in the last couple of weeks with some "friends". I've been friends with both for years (I went to high school with one and met the other about 12 years ago). But, lately, things have been sort of rocky. I ended up breaking one friendship and the other one is just...

These should be good and fun too. (I'll be posting mine later when I have more time.)

Okay, lets hear about the best dates you have had. (I don't have enough time to write about mine right now.. so I'll be posting again later.)

I am in need of some support. My usual network is unavailable and I am going through some rough stuff right now. I am going through a spiritual trasformation and I am starting new with God. To make a long story short, I am in a recovery program going through my forth step (moral inventory...

A recent thread got me thinking about this - and I was reminded of some advice I remember hearing years ago that I took to heart. Proper priorities in a marriage/family - the order of importance you should place on your personal relationships. 1) Yourself. (Some would say God - but as you...

Our chuch is doing a series on marriage. They showed this clip yesterday in church. HYSTERICAL......and oh so true!! It was so funny, I had to come home and find it on YouTube - once was not enough! (the clip is 4 min 45 sec - our church only showed till 2 min 45, it gets a little "weird"...

i got myself into a ton of debt back in 2006-2007 because I was being wreckless due to depression and my relationship at the time was on rocky grounds. My fiance is a full time student and all the little money he makes from his school stipend goes into our joint account which is great because...

It struck me today that my wife has one thing that makes me crazy. She can be very negative at times. She gets down on herself and has a generally negative outlook on everything. She expects failure. I tried to think of another and couldn't. I don't know if this is the only one, or I have...

Explain the dynamics of your relationship. What role do each of you play? Who wears the pants? Are there certain jobs for both of you? What are they? I am a nosey pants, and am curious.

Something happened yesterday that has me at a loss. I recently met the wife of one of DW coworkers. We talked at a volunteer function we all were attending. A few days later, I emailed her to thank her for her time since this was her first time working. She emailed me back. My wife was...

Hi everyone, I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Rochester, New York and am currently doing a project on intimate relationships as part of my thesis. It would be great if you could help me by completing my online survey, and inviting your partner to do the survey too if he or she...

Don’t Let Money Matters Sink Your Relationship Wedding season is here, and before deciding what the bridesmaids should wear, you need to sort out your money issues.

Growing up i was always told it was wrong to MIX! I knew early in high school there was an attraction to other races. Thank God I decided to make myself happy. I've been with my loving, dedicated, trustworthy, hard working, reliable , respectful etc.... husband for almost 15 years. No man...

Hardly - my mom (their only living grandparent) lives too far away and she never approved of our adoptions, so it's been a tough haul for them. Our older kids had wonderful relationships with their grandparents until they married and left home. By then, they had moved away and it was...

As mothers, fathers, employees, volunteers, etc. it seems like we sometimes get so caught up in the "doing for others" while neglecting one of the people in our lives that is closest to us, our spouse or significant other. When was the last time that you really sat down and listened to or paid...

Do you think that good old fashioned "disagreements" are good for a relationship I always say the fun part is making up, but I also think they are healthy as well, as long as they don't become commonplace every single day. I love a good old fashioned disagreement. We use to have them on a...
