 marriage. Most studies show that marital satisfaction
 starts to plummet with the arrival of the first child.

 productively and to resolve conflict.In this workshop

 or restore intimacy, communicate productively, and
 strengthen your marriage.We'll talk about:* Common
 gender differences around sex and intimacy* Best and
 worst ways to resolve conflict* How to communicate in a
 way that actually gets you what you want* Best ways to

 anyone tried Urbansitter.com and found someone they
 like? Please feel free to contact me directly:

 seems more reasonable. I have used craigslist for one
 sitter we found whom we really like.
