I’m sort of known for talking about my marriage (and my husband) and giving what might possibly be terrible marriage tips – all in good humor of course. But I honestly think there are probably some good lessons to be mined, even from my story about torturing my obsessive-compulsive husband with a spaghetti squash. Very specific, I know, but you are welcome to torture yours with the vegetable of your choice.
Since Gabe and I just hit a decade of happy marriage on July 30, I proclaim that I am an expert and as such, may I present to you the terrible marriage “advice, tips and tricks” that got us to where we are today.

How to Torture Your Obsessive Compulsive Husband – We like to laugh around here and neither one of us is too proud to laugh at ourselves. This first story proves it, for sure. (Well, it proves he can laugh at himself and I can laugh at him). One of my husband’s most annoying funniest habits is that he’s incredibly obsessive-compulsive. I came up with an awesome way to help him “break this habit.”
10 Ways to Get Your Husband Home From Work On Time – Husbands have a way of not realizing that SAHMs are going freaking nuts by the end of the day. (May I suggest a little nip?) Sometimes they just don’t understand that even 20 minutes can make a difference in your sanity. We’re grateful for everything they do, all except for the part when they seem to lose track of time every single day and come home from work late. Here are 10 ways you can make sure he comes through that door when he says he will.
Mumbling Through Marriage – I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that sometimes communication in a marriage can be a bad thing. Or at least in my marriage, a really really funny thing. Especially if you think your husband may have “lost his desire to cook for his pirate wife.” Oh go read it. I’m predicting tears in your eyes – and not from crying.
8 Signs Your Husband Is Annoying You Around The House – How many times can you repeat a simple request to your husband before you resort to more desperate measures? The answer is 38 and that measure might involve stabbing. Stabbing is probably a terrible marriage tip.
10 Signs Your Husband is Too Comfortable With You – Oh you know you can’t resist this one. Ball scratching is just the tip of the, er, well it’s not the tip but you see where I’m going with this. Read it and weep, honey. Then come back and tell me how many of these your man does.
Top 10 Sucky Things About Being Married to a Pregnant Woman – This is a guest post by my friend Mike (and one of the most popular on my site). You’ll see why. He pulls no punches. Good thing he has an understanding wife or else she’d have killed him with that vacuum cleaner by now. Just read it and you’ll understand that reference.
A Jew, a Christian and a Christmas Tree – And finally a bit of a funny but sappy one. I don’t want you to think I’m just nagging and making fun of my husband all the time. I mean, in this one, he just ASKS for it – and still I just show him love. Although I did still write about what he did on the internet for all to see. So, Merry Chrismukkah dude.
I hope my “terrible” marriage tips help you out in some way. They may not help your marriage per se, but at least they’ll help you laugh. And if you show them to your husband, maybe you’ll get a chance to laugh together. And THAT, my dear, is the best marriage advice I can give you.
Here’s a book (I’m in it) all about us and the men in our lives. Most of it is funny, some of it is heartwarming. It’s a great read and a lot of husbands have said they really enjoyed reading it with their wives.
