Free, unsolicited marriage advice
Hubby and I, whenever a big issue arises that requires "intense discussion", have a way of dealing with it that is unique, and I believe it is very helpful.

I've never heard of anyone else doing this, so I figured it would be worth sharing.

We have a catch - a baseball catch.

When we do this we are focused on each other and the "discussion" takes on the rhythm of the catch - or vice versa.

We beam it at each other while we work it out, and we always finish feeling better with the issue resolved (or at least sorted out). The kids like to watch, too.

I have some advice for married people: Never refer to your wife's pussy as an 'abscessed tunnel of terror'.

Thanks.

It actually came from a huge fight that started while we were teaching our son how to catch. We were fighting, but never stopped throwing, lol.

We've been doing it for about 6 years now, several times per week.

Re: Free, unsolicited marriage advice
This isn't BS, my wife and I actually have done this a few times: Throw a hamburger bun at each other as hard as you can from about 8 feet. A cheap bun will make a hilarious slapping sound as it lands on your body. Just wing it back and forth and you will use up any anger you may have had. Try it with a dog or two running back forth, eventually they will get a dropped bun and its over.

Yes, we are strange. At least I didn't say anything about playing Mutual of Omaha.

Re: Free, unsolicited marriage advice
An ambush attack with balled up socks works well too.

I've been known to run into a room, do a ninja roll, wing a sock at the wife, and quickly escape followed by some dogs who are trying to figure out what just happened.

For you newlyweds out there: There are only a few things that you can hit a woman with. Balled up socks, hamburger buns, slice of american cheese and, of course, the big pink club. My sister in law caught me once 'clubbing' the wife in the kitchen. "you have been bad! Take this and this and this". She laughed so I said "Don't laugh! You're next!" and chased her out of the room menacing her with the club.

That's fun, too.

The cool thing about catch is the rhythm - taking turns throwing and talking. And punctuating your sentences with a hard throw. You have to focus on your partner or else you get a baseball to the temple.
