No-sex marriages used to be a way to control family size but now no sex often indicates issues in a relationship.

Once sex leaves the marriage, divorce soon follows for many. This is because coping with a sexless marriage is extremely painful.
The main reason for this is an overwhelming feeling of dissatisfaction and a disconnect caused by a lack of intimacy.
Rather than saying, “That will never happen to us”, be proactive and take the steps to avoid finding yourself in a sexless marriage.
Doing so is really quite easy and will avoid unnecessary problems down the line.
All areas of a marriage require attention and it is up to you and your spouse to provide that attention.

Hi neighbours,
Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?
Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

ACT leader David Seymour says 20 people could die each year using reusable bags.
"It's coming up to summer and people will be in a hot car with their chicken in a canvas bag ... and suddenly, you've got a real serious case for poor food hygiene."
Food safety expert Steve Flint said it was a valid concern. Read more here

What really impresses me is that it has been set up to help ex-prisoners from Arohata assimilate back into the community by getting them working. It is a wonderful initiative and really well done.
I am writing this because they deserve to be patronised. Please note I don't think they are open in the weekend, definitely not on Sunday, not sure about Saturday. Pay them a visit and see for yourself.

No one can be as consistently supportive of you as you can learn to be. Being kind to yourself increases self-confidence and lessens your need for approval. Loving and caring for yourself not only increases self-trust, but it also deepens your connection with others.”
Self-trust means that you can take care of your needs and safety. It means you trust yourself to survive situations and practice kindness, not perfection. It means you refuse to give up on yourself.
In The Courage to Trust lists other components that encompass self-trust. They include: being aware of your thoughts and feelings and expressing them; following your personal standards and ethical code; knowing when you need to care for yourself first; knowing you can survive mistakes, get up and try again; and pursuing what you want without stopping or limiting others.
If you don’t do these things, you’re not alone. None of us was taught to trust as children. Instead, we were taught to be dependent. Maybe you had parents, family, friends or mentors who modelled trust and gave you positive messages about yourself.
Maybe you didn’t. But whether you had this or not, you can learn to trust yourself. Trust as a skill all of us can learn.
