`LOVE AND RESPECT` by Dr. Emerson. Awesome, and different than they typical `love eachother` stuff. My parents gave it to me after my first marriage failed. I can look back and see things that I did to fuel the `divorce` fire, but I also know that getting out was the best move. This time around things are much different and I also make it a point to randomly tell my husband, `I respect you`. Very powerful words to a man!

`The Five Love Languages` is awesome and an easy read. `For Men Only` and `For Women Only` have a lot of good info on how men and women think differently and how you can learn to interact with each other better with the knowledge you gain.

Fireproof is a good movie and take the Love Dare. It is hard, but well worth the effort!

Hi Chevy! Same boat a 3 week old and 17 month old. I agree find time for each other and I guess just give it time. Baby just came and they both require lots of time. I think you also have older kid(s) like me too and that takes time running them, homework and making time for them as well. Surely things will return to some what normal in a few months. Good luck. Sorry I dont know of any books.

Being parents is hard, especially with your kids that close and young. Just try to remember that it is just a phase and will pass! Fireproof is also an awesome movie like everyone is saying!

I don`t have any advice, but came here to read some for myself. Just want you to know you`re not alone. Good luck sweetie!

Is there anyone around as in family or close friends that can take care of the kids here and there even for a few hours, so you can spend time together. When kids are sleep, why not take 30 mins together and play a bord game, or card games? Those are always fun to play and laugh and you will both be happy. Then maybe the next night have cookies and just talk about you guys. A friend of mine was going through this a little so she thought of writing little cute sticky notes where her hubby would go like in the morning her hubby goes to work so she wrote a sticky note saying Good morning love, have a wonderful day. in his lunch bag she would write remember how we had wonderful lunch dates. around the house like ur handsome, then a few days later she would find notes too and they would make date nights at least 2 times a month. why not try something like that? little things count too. just let him know ur thinking about him. hope any of this helps.

Me and My husband find time for JUST me and him. even if its a half hour to talk about US and nothing baby related just talk :) like we have a hot tub so we go out and sit in it and just talk about.. anything. its really nice. and he takes time out of his day to thank me for all i do and and gives me a kiss. We just remind each othter even though an infant DOES TAKE A LOT out of both of you and demands your undivided attention that you dont need to get lost baby world all day. there is nothing wrong for wanting alone time away from your children

The Love Dare By: Stephen Kendrick and watch the movie FIREPROOF!! It`s an awesome movie!!!

I had the same concern, we went to counseling and I read books but to be honest the one thing that made the world of difference was to go to a Romance Party (Toy Party) it was incredible and gives you lots of fun ways to make the bedroom fun again :) (its not just toys) I say go to one or have one ~ you will not be disappointed :)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
