The Marriage Ref Review for March 4, 2010

0
Filed under Entertainment, The Marriage Ref

The Marriage Ref aired again yesterday on NBC. The “refs” were  Tina Fey, Jerry Seinfeld and Eva Longoria Parker

Here’s my review:

Comments on – Joe & Paula: Does Joe spend too much time taking care of himself – having manicures, pedicures, etc?

Well, it didn’t take long for me to totally disagree with the Marriage Ref’s call – I am going with Paula.  Paula married a cop who has turned into a bodily obsessed pampering machine.  Joe is obsessing over cleanliness and pampering spa-like activities for his own personal hygiene on a daily basis. This pampering takes on an obsessive-compulsive nature.  How do I know this? Because it is monopolizing his time and interfering with his life - taking away time from his family. Joe you are definitely NOT a manly man! Maybe you were when you were a cop – but you certainly aren’t now.  That’s Dr. Patty Ann – The Relationship Expert’s call!

Comments on Luis & Dalia: Should Luis be allowed to use the formal dining room table for card games?

Okay, I have to have full disclosure here.  My husband and sons wanted to change my formal living room into a game room by throwing out the formal furniture and replacing it with a pool table and various other “male” bonding items.  My answer to this inquiry – which turned into pleading: No! The formal living room remains formal.  Therefore, it should come as no surprise that I agree with The Marriage Ref’s call – No card games are to be held in the formal dining room.

The best line of the show goes to Natalie Morales: “Women possess better assembly skills than men”
The worse line of the show goes to Luis: “Anytime I talk, you should shut your mouth because I am a man”!

Is Laughter Really the Best Medicine?

Filed under Happiness

In this week’s relationship advice e-zine we look at how the ability to keep our sense of humor and laugh at ourselves and each other is the glue that keeps our relationship together.

All relationships hit stormy seas. And one way or another, we have to find a way to navigate our relationship through these rough seas. We can choose to laugh our way through these difficult times, or be angry at the situation, our partner and/or the world.

Tell us about a time when your relationship hit some stormy seas. Did you use laughter and maintain your sense of humor to weather these storms? Share with us a way you and your partner laughed through a difficult situation in your relationship, even though the situation itself wasn’t really funny.
