Here is the Secret to Reigniting the Passion in a Sexless Marriage

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:58:12 GMT

The clinical definition of a sexless marriage is one where you haven’t had sex in six months or more.I disagree.My definition of a sexless marriage is when your wife starts treating sex as a chore to tick off the to-do list. She’s doing it because she feels like she has to, rather than because she wants to.Let’s be honest guys – we don’t just want sex! We want love. We want emotional connection, respect, and a wife who adores us.As soon as passionate intimacy feels like a job for your wife, all of this disappears. And oftentimes, it is because she isn’t getting any of these things from you. She has put up a wall between the two of you – and no matter how much you talk, you can’t seem to get past it.I’ve been there. My wife Kathryn and I were stuck in an extremely toxic marriage for years. If I’m being honest, it was abusive in every way.My behavior and disrespect towards her caused her to completely check out. I belittled her daily and attacked who she was as a woman, wife, and moth...

Analysis: Is the Warriors’ poor shooting an outlier or a trend?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:58:12 GMT

In the first 12 games of the season, the Golden State Warriors have shown what makes them contenders, and what might keep them from contending.They won five of their first seven on the road, easily performing better away from home than last season. They did it with grit, poise and otherworldly performances by Stephen Curry. They’ve also won with the bench either maintaining leads or spearheading comebacks in the non-Curry minutes.They’ve also shown why they aren’t fully solidified as contenders thus far. In their six losses, the Warriors’ lack of size has been a painful highlight but not the most concerning. It’s in their struggles to score.Golden State is now 6-6 and in the middle of a four-game losing streak. In three of these games, they shot under 40 percent from the field. Granted, it’s early in the season and it’s a small sample size but I’m wondering if this is more of a slump and it’s just an outlier, or if it is the result of how they are being defended. There’s a case to b...

Alec Baldwin considered plea deal, along with a reality TV show, as criminal charges still loom

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:58:12 GMT

As much as Alec Baldwin has insisted he was not responsible for the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, he considered taking a plea last month in the two-year-old case, which has led to critics branding him a “killer” and has put his long-heralded film and TV career in jeopardy.NBC News, citing two sources, reported Wednesday that Baldwin and special prosecutors in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, had discussed his taking a plea deal in the October 2021 shooting on the set of the Western film “Rust.” It’s not known what charges Baldwin considered as part of a plea deal, according to NBC News.But the talks ended when special prosecutors announced last month that “additional facts have come to light,” which they believe shows that Baldwin has “criminal culpability” in Hutchins’ death. Prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis also said that they would convene a special grand jury to consider whether to recharge Ba...
