Marriage Sabbatical - Could Taking Time Away From Your Marriage Make It Stronger?

Marriage sabbatical is a term coined by author Cheryl Jarvis, who wrote a book about women taking time out from their marriages to do something for themselves, something they felt being married was stopping them from doing.

The idea of pulling apart in a relationship that is meant to be all about togetherness may seem illogical, but increasing number of couples are embracing the idea of one of them, especially the wife, taking a ‘sabbatical’ from their marriage in order to make it stronger.

A marriage sabbatical is different from a trial separation and the couple are not discussing divorce in any way. There is also no room for relationships or sex with other people while the wife or husband is taking the sabbatical.

The debate surrounding 'marriage sabbaticals' was sparked recently when actress Emma Thompson revealed that she believes every married couple would benefit from such a break. And it got me thinking.

USAvsGhana, Iran Vs Nigeria - What Happened? See Funny Yabbis and Picture Memes

I earlier wrote that Nigeria beating Iran was a done deal, while cheering the Super Eagles, but they proved me wrong. After the match, I consoled myself saying we can manage a goal-less draw for now, but my friends on Facebook are just not happy with the performance of Nigeria Vs Iran match.

Some of those supporting all the African teams wanted to console themselves with Ghana, but the Black Stars also lost, too bad. But I am pleased with that though, I am rooting for USA going forward. I no want heart attack with the sloppy way the Super eagles are playing.

And the yabbis are just starting. Where is my American flag jare...

Couple Love - Michael Schumacher and Wife Corrina, The 'Guardian Angel' Who Saw Him Out of Coma

Formula One world champion, Michael Schumacher is no longer in a coma. After being involved in a skiing accident last December in the French Alps where he sustained severe head injuries, Schumacher was put on an artificially-induced coma while they waited and prayed for his brain to heal.

His wife, Corrina gave doctors her full support, and against all odds, believed that he would get better. Her care and prayers have paid off as he is said to be conscious and communicating now. Schumacher has now left the hospital where he'd been receiving treatment since the accident. In faith, his wife has already built a no-cost-is-too-much rehabilitation care unit at their home.

Michael Schumacher has a long road to full recovery, and I pray God will see them through, Amen.

Below is a beautiful picture tribute to his wife, whose awesome love for her husband is a big part of why he is still here with us today.

Man Sues Hospital After Surgery For Fractured Penis Makes It One Inch Shorter

An anonymous Canadian man  is suing a hospital for $155,000 Canadian (about $142,000 U.S.), claiming negligence and "indescribable anguish". The man had fractured his penis while having sex with his wife and surgery at the hospital to correct the injury allegedly left him with a dick that was "about an inch" shorter than before.

Wondering how a penis can be fractured? Wonder no more!

A fracture can occur when there is trauma to the erect penis. If it is bent suddenly or forcefully while engorged, the trauma may rupture the lining of one of the two cylinders in the penis (corpus cavernosum) responsible for erections. The injury is often accompanied by an audible cracking sound, then dark bruising as blood escapes from the cylinder.
