“Stale Mate or Stalemate Marriage?”

Macaroni Kid December 2015, Blog 

“Stale Mate or Stalemate Marriage?”

The one simple secret in marriage that makes all the difference. “C’mon!” You might be saying to yourself. “Really? One thing?” Yeah… Really.  The problem is that people really aren’t trained for marriage. Think about it. What did you have to do before you got your drivers license? You had to take a class and pass it before you could get your drivers permit. You had to prove to the DMV that you could handle the responsibility and could navigate the roads safely. Compare that with what you did to get a marriage license. All you had to do was be a legal adult and have 45 bucks! Seriously! That’s it. No training, and no test. So, unfortunately we aren’t being trained on how to be married. We can get married. That’s the easy part. Most of the population can do that without any training at all. But almost 50% end in divorce. Hmmm… that tells us that something is wrong with the system. If 50% of a teachers class failed in school, we would be wondering about the teacher. 

So, what happens in a normal marriage that can really cause problems? First, we fall in love. Dorothy Tennov, in her book “Love and Limerence” calls the feeling of “being in love”  “limerence.” The problem starts when we think the same amount of effort we put in falling in love should just keep happening naturally. We think that staying in love would be easy, like surfing the wave of “limerence.” Limerence is a chemical cocktail that gets people to fall in love. There aren’t any sustaining nutrients in this delicious cocktail. We do the loving things because we are in love. Think about that for a second. You would stay up all night. Drive for hours. Go completely out of your way because you were in love. Then when the wave of limerence runs ashore the feelings fade and couples begin to notice they aren’t feeling “in love” anymore and start wondering why. At this time, most people begin noticing the things their spouse has stopped doing, and that is where they stop in their exploration for why things are different. They say to themselves and even to other people, “if my spouse would just ______ it would make our relationship better.” And this is the number one problem that destroys marriages, “Looking to the other person to make changes.” So what is the solution, Look in the mirror to start making changes. If both people do this, the relationship is going to soar like a rocket. If only one or none, then the relationship is going to fizzle like a dud. So… who are you going to look to to make your marriage more amazing? I’ve developed this really cool tool to help keep couples on track its called the check in. There are 4 simple questions to keep the couple focused on what they can personally do to make the marriage more amazing.  Email me at emilharker@gmail.com if you want it. Just include the word “Check In” in the subject line.

Having children with special needs makes it hard to plan our group and all the many other things we do as parents etc. So we decided to have a little girls retreat with our committee to plan 2016. With our group from Ogden to Draper we had to have a place to meet in the middle. We chose Cotton Tree Inn Best Western Hotel in North Salt Lake. They were so good to work with! The Hotel was remodeled with very comfortable beds. Very clean and my favorite part was the HOT breakfast! We are not talking about just waffles they had eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and much more. It was so good!

Peanuts the movie was great! 

I think its a great movie for the whole family.

To kick off our Thanksgiving Vacation we went as a family to see Peanuts the Movie. Everyone even my 15 yr old boy loved it. I think its a great movie to teach children that what we think of our selves and what others see is two different things. The movie stayed to true to all the characters and I loved it.

I took my son to see Hotel Transylvainia 2. I was doing it for him. I did't love the first one so my expectations were low. I actually really enjoyed this movie and I feel like it was better than the first one, Adam Slander did a great job writing and preforming this show.

 The Martian

I have to admit when I saw this I was confused? It was too close to his Intersteller character I was worried that I couldn't separate it! Then my oldest son and his friend decided to go! 

They Love It!!! They said they would go see it again. Can you trust your kids taste in movies? 

I  have now heard from several sources that this is the best movie in theaters right now. I think my husband and I are going to go on a date night and see it this weekend.  Enjoy your Long UEA Weekend and check out this show. Of course we will go to our favorite theater Cinemark at Station Park.

Scorch Trials

Scorch Trials 

Wow this movie was intense!!! I loved every minute of it and I am excited to see how this movie series ends. It leaves you wanting to know so much more! I made one small mistake taking my 8 year old. This movie is even more intense than the first one and my youngest son wanted to go in the hall. In the end he loved it and he still slept all night. 

No scary dreams! Whew I dodged that bullet.  

I recommend seeing this movie it is very fun, intense and entertaining!!!

We went to our favorite theater Cinemark at Station park and as always the employees where so kind and very helpful. The popcorn and drinks were perfect as well.
