Financial Marriages
 It's not uncommon for couples to stay married for the sake of their kids, but it seems there's a growing trend of couples who are staying hitched because of finances. An article in the Phoenix Examiner discusses how couples who don't have kids remain in the same home because of their shared mortgage, car payments and other cost-of-living expenses. One woman said: “We were married thirty years before we decided to live separate lives. I was all for a divorce and so was he but our accountant gave us two financial scenarios. Divorced, we would lose money. By staying together, we got to keep more of our funds and our health insurance coverage as a married couple.” One marriage therapist in the article says that separated couples living together is more common than people realize. This is why statistical data is so tricky because you can also make the argument that there are couples out there who have been living together for many years who share assets, etc. who aren't married. So are hollow marriages still "marriages"? What are your thoughts? Labels: commentary, money, real people, work

Do You Pay Your Kids for Good Grades?
 USA Today interviewed several CEOs asking them their thoughts on giving their kids cash for grades and whether or not they thought it was a good idea. In the end, the majority of CEOs interviewed did think it was a good idea while half actually did pay their kids for good grades. In contrast, only 15% of 450 high school principals surveyed thought paying for grades was a good idea. CEOs see pay for performance as more art than science, much like keeping employees motivated to do good work. What are your thoughts? Do you pay your kids for grades?

Home Sale Can Put Strain on Marriage
A Wall Street Journal editor, Neal Templin discusses the process of selling his home and how it put a strain on his marriage. They argued about how much to spend fixing up the house and how quickly they should drop the price when their home wouldn't sell. Neal's wife Clarissa wanted to hold out for a higher price while Neal wanted to get the price down as quickly as possible and get the house sold immediately. In addition, Clarissa wanted to do much more remodeling and prepping than Neal did. They compromised and wound up spending $2,000 on granite countertops and a new sink in the kitchen, plus paint for the bathrooms. Then more money was spent: on plants, a mantle, light fixtures and more. Eventually they sold the house, but not after a lot of compromising and negotiating with each other. Have you and your spouse argued over your housing situation recently? What did you argue about and was their a resolution? Labels: commentary, money, real people, work

Wife and Husband Wrestle for Olympic Gold
 This weekend is the Olympic team trials for U.S. wrestlers. By the end of today, we'll know which women will represent the U.S. in the Olympics in the sport of wrestling. Patricia Miranda has been there before. She is the first American female wrestler to ever win an Olympic medal, a bronze in the 2004 Athens Olympics. Her husband, Levi Weikel-Magden is also a wrestler. The two met at Stanford University when they were both on the wrestling team. He later became her coach and has encouraged her to come out of retirement for one last shot at Olympic gold. This article from the NY Times tells how this husband and wife team got to where they are today, through illness, law school, sweat and sacrifice. It also tells the struggles of mixing their professional life with their home life. One highlight from the article is a story of how Levi brought home some new toothbrushes and then proceeded to try and tell Miranda how to use them. Miranda's reply, “You can’t coach me on how to brush my teeth!” Watch out Levi, she'll take you down. Labels: entertainment, event, romance, women, work

Surprise! Mom Does More than Dad at Home
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that married mothers with full time jobs are more likely to do housework and provide childcare on an average day than married fathers who also have a full time job. This doesn't really seem surprising, but what's up with that guys? The report also says married moms who are not employed spend an average of 3.6 hours per day on housework, compared with 2 hours for those with full-time jobs and 1 hour for those who worked part-time. It's a little weird that full time mothers do more housework than those working part-time. Do you divide the housework and childcare evenly in your household?

Husbands Create 7 Hours of Housework
 A new study by the University of Michigan says that husbands create an extra seven hours of housework for their wives. Men on the other hand have it a little better, wives save them about an hour of housework. Okay, men have it a lot better. The study found that men tend to work more outside the home, while women take on more of the household labor. Unfortunately, the study doesn't explain why the numbers are the way they are. The report goes on to say: Overall, the amount of housework done by U.S. women has dropped considerably since 1976, while the amount of housework done by men has increased, according to Stafford. In 1976, women did an average of 26 hours of housework a week, compared with about 17 hours in 2005. Men did about six hours of housework a week in 1976, compared with about 13 hours in 2005.

 Kiplinger.com has put together a nice tip sheet on, well, tipping. We've broken out a couple of the tipping guidelines for you. If you want to read all of them, click here. CLEANING PERSONHow much to tip: The cost of one visit if he or she visits weekly or bi-weekly, says protocol adviser Rosanne Thomas. Up the tip amount for a cleaning person who works more often. Exceptions: If you use a cleaning service that works in a team, a box of chocolates for the team is customary. HAIRSTYLISTHow much to tip: The normal cost of a visit for a stylist you've used all year. Exceptions: If your stylist doubles as a confidante, include a small personal gift that speaks to his or her interests as well as a monetary gift. If you don't require as much attention from your stylist or barber, you may prefer to give only about $20 as a tip during your December visit. PERSONAL TRAINERHow much to tip: $50. Exceptions: The key question to ask yourself is whether you have an ongoing, above-average relationship with the professional, says etiquette expert Charlotte Ford. Tip at year end if you feel you've gotten above-average service year-round. BABY SITTERHow much to tip: Nanny or au pair -- one week's pay and a small gift from the child; regular sitter -- one to two nights' pay; day-care provider -- $25 to $70.
