@dscottsibley Yay. Thanks Scott. That's great.

#HDFS284 Students 👀. We just talked about The Three Keys on Monday.

I should add, I love the title she chose for this: "Just stop it!" Sometime, the most important thing is stopping what you are doing that's not working or that is damaging your marriage.

#HDFS284 Students: The second blog post that is required reading for today is a recent blog post by @DecideOrSlide exploring current research regarding cohabitation and the potential link to divorce: ifstudies.org/blog/is-cohabi….

I want to recommend this book by Sarah Halpern-Meekin on Social Capital and couples in poverty, wherein she focuses on two types of poverty: economic and social. amazon.com/Social-Poverty…

Regret having children? Or not having any? It's mostly one directional. Among 45+ year old Americans: 7% of those with children would have 0 if they could go back. 56% of those without children would have some if they could go back. news.gallup.com/poll/164618/de…

#HDFS284 Students: In preparation for class today make sure that you have read the Before "I Do" research report by Dr. Galena Rhoades and @DecideOrSlide and to finish Chapter 4 in your textbook. Also...

@SassClassNiceAs @MandyConnell @iHeartRadio You bet. I've been long time off Twitter (er, I hear it has a new name? Um, I'll use X to represent it). Good to hear from you again Justine.

@DecideOrSlide @MandyConnell @iHeartRadio That’s very surprising. I’ll have to read those articles. I’ve only heard men encourage it. Thanks for the links!

I’m was on @mandyconnell 's radio show this week talking about not letting politics ruin your relationship. Here's link to the podcast. [She's a great interviewer!] Listen on iHeart ♫ @iHeartRadio iheart.com/podcast/88-the…

Friday Five: Webinar: Sept 10 at 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM EDT Lopsided Love: Asymmetrical Commitment in Romantic Relationships with @DecideOrSlide via @dibbleInst register.gotowebinar.com/register/73619…

@SassClassNiceAs @MandyConnell @iHeartRadio Huh, well, two of my colleagues on this stuff are women. Here's a woman who wrote a piece about this. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/growin… Here's another. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mindfu… But you raise an interesting question and I wonder if it's a thing.

@DecideOrSlide @MandyConnell @iHeartRadio I find it curious that only men are saying this. I have not seen women or women researchers/sociologists say, "Don't let politics come between you and [finding] your spouse." Why do you think that is?

How can couples or friends with political differences keep from ruining their relationship over their differences? My book co-authors and I (Fighting for Your Marriage 4th edition) have a piece out in @YourTango on this! yourtango.com/self/peace-mak…

"women have higher expectations of support and intimacy in their close relationships than men do. Women integrate our friends into our lives as deeply as siblings, whereas men treat their friends more like cousins." psychologytoday.com/us/blog/platon…

@nancywgonzalez Thank you Nancy. All is good here for us. Been a lot going on over the past year or so but things are settling down now I think. My new fav thing is walking our recent rescue doggo. I'm walking more and he's checking out and putting his imprint on everything in the neighborhood.
