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.

Things you should never do without consulting your significant other
Categories: communication, dating, marriage
I ran across this post over at The Frisky titled, “20 Things You Should Never Do Without Consulting Your Significant Other” and I had to laugh at some of the suggestions. They’re funny because they’re true. Here are a few of my favorites:
Seeing other people
Investing your joint savings in a combination fried chicken and sushi restaurant
Erasing everything off the DVR
Buying a house or new car, especially if it’s a Hummer
Adopting a puppy/kitten/ferret
Moving to a different city
Ha!
I thought I’d add a few of my own:
Get pregnant
Join the armed forces
Invite your parents to live in your basement suite
Do you have any that you’d like to add?

lend anyone (*cough* your deadbeat brother *cough*) significant amounts of money

I think that “erasing everything off the DVR” is THE most important thing on that list.

sell your house. My dad actually did that to my poor Mom about 15 years ago. Someone told him they liked their place (her dream house), made him a good offer, he figured “what the heck I can just build a new one” and he said “sold”. He came home, told Mom they had 60 days and went on hunting trip. Leaving her to find a place to rent until the new place was built (he’s a contractor)…needless to say he was in a little more than just hot water, for quite some time.

Accept a job in another city with a starting date in less than 3 weeks. Yes. My husband did this.
