Best Way to Save a Marriage

Having a marriage crisis?

Trying to save a marriage can be frustrating and depressing. Especially when you feel that your marriage is about to end. So, what I'm going to do is share with you some effective ways to save a marriage. That way, you will be able to have a happy marriage.

The effective ways to save your marriage are:

1. The first thing you have to do to save your marriage is to figure out what's going wrong between you and your spouse. You and your spouse need to come together and figure out why your marriage is broken. Did one of you cheat? Is the romance gone?

After you and your spouse figure out what went wrong, you and your spouse should come together and come up with solutions to the problems. This is perfect for getting you and your spouse working together to save your marriage.

2. Another way to save a marriage is to go on a date with your spouse. You might need to spice up your relationship. You could have a candle lit dinner. Or ask your spouse want they would like to do. Going out will help you and your spouse add romance to the marriage.

3. Listing the things you like about your spouse is another way to save your marriage. You and your spouse should make a list of everything that you two like about each other. When you do this, you two will fall in love with each other all over again.

These are some of the effective ways to save a marriage. If you are serious about saving your marriage, you need to do something about it now. If you don't do something now, you could be served divorce papers and have to face a nasty divorce.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in Trouble?

The news was pretty tough in the stock market today. It appears that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in trouble. According to news that I heard on NPR, there seems to be a story that was published about how these two companies are having liquidity issues based on the US housing slump. With the increases in foreclosures Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would guarantee mortgage is or how to confront lots of money on defaulted loans.

An article that appeared in the Times, revealed a liquidity issue with both companies, and it spurred a serious drop in pricing of the stock of the two companies. The stock price is down 80% over what it was at this time last year. This rundown in stock price has caused the government to get involved at state that they are not planning on taking over the two companies and they see them as being privately held run companies.

From what I understand, even though the government is saying that these two companies will be fine, there is a big selloff because investors are concerned about the fact that a government takeover would render their shares are virtually worthless. However, I heard that the Fed has asked the two companies to offer (sell) more shares so they can build up funds. This causes another problem for investors because I'm offering a more shares will devalue their current stock price.

The scariest thing about both of these companies is that combined they old or guarantee trillions of dollars of mortgage pack securities. The combined number of both of these companies is equal to 50% of the US housing mortgages. A decline or crash all of both of these companies would virtually bring the US housing market to a screeching halt.

The challenge with that is that we already experiencing a housing slump, and a crash of these two markets will a lot would prevent people from being able to buy or sell houses.

To top it off, in the Mac was seized by US regulators today. The FDIC has taken over in the Mac, and they will reopen on Monday under government regulation. This is another in the crush that has been caused by the debacle of the subprime mortgage crisis.

It will be pretty interesting to see what happens in the next few years. I had heard somewhere, that some of the situations are looking at although different and new ones are very similar to what caused the Great Depression. When the Great Depression started, there was a crash of the stock market caused by the collapse of the savings and loans and banks. The result was the Great Depression.

Looking out into today's market we see the dollar tanking it dipped to under 11,000 shares today, we see banks closing in being bailed out by the government, we see a huge run-up in gas prices and food costs. And, credit card debt is another problem. No one is admitting it but we may be looking at recession, and depending on things go with the housing market who knows? We may be looking at the next depression...
