My husband and I can't tell whether we're pleasantly surprised to read this
group, or not!

I ended up saying that I expected tips on how to feed a man, and tips on how
to please a woman in bed, on a group called alt.support.marriage.  Well, not
really.  Neither of us knows what we really expected.

Just introducing myself.  We've been married for 22 years, no children.
We've noticed we spend more time at home, on the computer or watching DVD's
or just talking or whatever - cooking, planning things, than we used to.  I
guess we're gettin old.  Or, it's that it's so f'n cold up'here, eh.

We live in Manitoba, that may be a factor.  We're pretty open minded, don't
get me wrong, we live in Manitoba!

Cheers!

Well, it tends to be more about how to make relationships work well
than cooking or sex tips.  But those things are always welcome, if you
have some to contribute!

You mean it's not because they build snow caves and hibernate over winter?

Winter is wonderful.  There is only a handful of days per year, where it
is too fricking cold.  Usually it is between 0 and -20 Celcius.

We spend one or two weeks per winter in the mountains, snow skiing.  My
kids have been to disneyland and on a tropical vacation, but they pick
snow skiing over either.

I can't really imagine that kind of cold! Maybe we get as low as 0 C
sometimes, perhaps -1 in a biting southerly ...but in mid-winter if the sun
is shining it's usually warm enough to wear a t-shirt. And in the summer we
have every temperature between 18 - 42 C. (And we're in the colder part of
Australia.)

We have snow fields within two hours of us by car but we have to go into the
high country (sub alpine) to get to it. We like the water to be in liquid
form for most of our holidays but we do take a weekend or two each year to
play in the snow. This year my husband will take our teenagers cross-country
skiing (amongst the gum trees) while I look after our 6 year old on a slope
somewhere closer to hot chocolate on tap.

Welcome!

We've been married 25 years, 3 children (two of them teens!) and live in
tinder dry Australia...

Well, there *are* cooking groups, and sex groups...

When you decide, let us know.  Till then, we'll wait with
baited breath!

Rog, I'm gonna recommend baiting your fishing line instead.  The
problem with baiting your breath is that it really isn't resilient
enough to pull in any fish!
