The party was going to be low key. My wife, Dianne, only wanted something small to celebrate her fortieth birthday. Knowing she wasn't happy about turning forty, I reluctantly agreed. A few months back, when she announced she wanted to join a gym I backed her up even though I assumed it wouldn't last. I'd been wrong. For the first month she had been keen a...
My wife and I were high school sweethearts. We were married not long after graduation because she got pregnant. Being a teenager with a family was not easy but Ann and I really love each other and, with our parents help, things worked out. I graduated from college while Ann worked and the grandparents took care of the baby. Sex with Ann has always been fant...
Alex sat facing the open door in his power wheelchair. He was waiting for his speech therapists, having had a mild stroke 4 months earlier. He and his wife, Jane, had become quite fond of the 40ish-year-old Paula. His wife sat watching TV. "She's here." He soon announced. His speech had vastly improved and he was the nearing the end of his sessions. The t...
My wife Brenda and I have been having problems for more than a year, we didn't seem to agree on anything but in the last couple of weeks she had become a little happier. I couldn't identify anything I had done to bring about this change but I hoped it was something we could build on. One day there was nothing going on at work so I went home shortly after I...
The rest of the week, we settled into this new routine, something I couldn't ever have imagined happening. Each day, we would go about our lives as normal, Randy and I going to our respective jobs, Amy taking care of the kids, and every night, after we went to bed, my loving, adoring wife would walk downstairs to the living room where she would get on her kn...
As I counted down the hours Friday afternoon, slowly through the "hour glass", I had reason to have a big smile on my face. I was a 42 year old father of 2, whose wife and kids would all be out of town for what promised to be a gorgeous, early June weekend. My wife and one daughter were headed away on a mother-daughter weekend and my other daughter had been...
What if, instead of candy, we passed out something else, something we all could use. For those of you who thought that I was proposing marriage by writing this Halloween Proposal, I'm not. I'm proposing a change in how we celebrate Halloween and trick or treat for that matter in general. What I am proposing is that it's time for a change in what we pass out...
It was early. The sun had yet to rise. I couldn't sleep. It might have had to do with the knock-down, drag-out that I had with my son the night previous. I had thought about nothing else from the moment he stormed out to that very moment. My wife had tried to talk him down, to no avail. I couldn't even remember what we had started fighting about but it had...

The marriage of Danny and Janice Maxwell had changed after the chance meeting with the ski patroller that occurred in January. In that instance the conservative wife of Danny Maxwell had taken a more dramatic and demonstrative stance concerning the marital bed. Danny during a period of fantasy conversation had blurted out to Janice that he would like to wit...
