Committed: The Ties that Bond
with Angella Dykstra
I'm a mom of three, a professional accountant, and an amateur photographer and writer. I am not a marriage expert. But my husband and I take "Til death do us part" seriously, and here I'll be sharing how we keep our marriage strong while we both do that insane work-life juggle.
Check out my Work It, Mom! profile and my blog, Dutch Blitz.
Nearly ten years into our marriage we are always looking for ways to keep things new, fresh and awesome. Marriage is great and fantastic and amazing but it can easily fall into a routine and that thing that the kids nowadays call a rut.
While scouring the Internet for relationship articles I came across this one at MSN.com titled, “The Naked Truth.”
No, the plan is not to hang out whilst naked. While my husband would have no issues with that scenario, my three children just might be scarred for life.
The article threw out the suggestion of creating new email accounts that are only used for the purpose of flirting with your spouse. No talk of household items, or chores, or child-rearing issues. The new accounts are ALL ABOUT THE FLIRTING.
While the thought of creating yet another account makes me want to stab myself in the eye, the premise in general is good. I might just have to start firing my husband random emails to remind him of his HOTNESS.
(I’d text him, but dude has neither sent nor received a text in his life. No, I am not kidding.)
What little things do you to connect with your spouse?

text messaging is fun.

I do send him flirty emails at times. Only once did I send it to the wrong person… I almost had a heart attack when my husband told me he didn’t receive my email that day… and we traced it to his co-worker!

My husband doesn’t really “do” email. We share an account anyway, so it wouldn’t work that well. BUT … we do the texting thing and flirt that way. I love his little messages at 12.35pm (5 minutes into his lunch break). Once I sent a slightly “hot” text message to my sister instead of Rob, I don’t know how that happened but I obviously wasn’t concentrating and chose the wrong name in my address book! OOPS! She thought it was funny though.
