“Moving the ship of state is a slow process, States are like big tankers; they’re not like speedboats. You can’t whip them around and go in a new direction.” – President Barack Obama
100 days
Like it or not, things are changing in the U.S., only time will tell what the outcome of the changes will be.
‘Change’ was the promise of Obama, and that is what he has been trying to do in his first 100 days.
100 Days seems like a short amount of time to get things completely changed. I was reading an article about these first 100 Days that said…the first 100 days lays the ground work for the rest of the administration.
How would you like to lay some new groundwork for your marriage?
Today is Wednesday April 29, 2009
What could we do in our marriages that creates p-o-s-i-t-i-v-e change over the next 100 days?
Between Now and Thursday August 6, 2009, I challenge you to FOCUS ON YOUR MARRIAGE.
“But I’m busy” “The kids take all of my time” “Too many things on my list to accomplish”.
Blah Blah Blah.
Our Marriages are our MOST IMPORTANT relationship. It is time to start the slow process of turning them around and getting them going in a N-E-W direction.
Over the next 100 days, I am going to keep writing posts here at the Marry Blogger (probably not everyday…I need to be focusing on my marriage too, you know).
Hopefully, some will inspire you to move toward your husband or wife in a positive way.
I’ll do some updates throughout the next 100 days to let you know how the Beautiful Wife™ and I are doing.
Feel free to email me updates throughout YOUR 100 day journey with your spouse!

I keep telling him, as I attack him, that “one of these day I am going to have to play hard to get.” He just laughs and says he will believe it when he sees it.
Some days one of us will playfully say to the other, “Convince me.” It never takes more than a couple seconds and we give in.
Yes, IF I can succeed at playing hard to get, I will let him know that is what I am doing so he doesn’t worry. lol.

Awesome!!!
We too are going to be working on consistent date nights for sure… we are still figuring out what else we might like to do to focus for 100 days!!!
(Does your husband know you are going to initiate sex less? – You might want to warn him!!!)
Thanks for being a part!!!

I will take the challenge.
First, I am going to “reaffirm” him at least once a day with a compliment. Maybe on his looks, or a decision he made, or a positive character trait.
Second, I am going to make it a point to laugh together; share jokes, be silly, etc.
Third, I am going to be more consistent with date nights.
Four, I am going to initiate sex less. OK, I know that sounds silly, but I initiate it three or four times a day, and I need to play hard to get once in a while: Provide a challenge for him, give him a chance to pursue. (This is going to be so hard.)
