MARRIED WITHOUT KIDS by Liana Smith-Bautista
In exactly two weeks, I’ll be saying goodbye to Female Network, Summit Media, and the most satisfying job I’ve had since leaving college a little over six years ago. I don’t regret my reason to leave and help out with the family business in my hometown of Cebu, but I know this is a job I’ll reflect on fondly, and I hope that I will find equal satisfaction in the future.

One of the best things about working for Female Network is the fact that I learn something new every day, whether it’s a scientific study debunking a health myth I grew up with or some new ways to enjoy life better and heat things up with my hubby. I’ve had two years and seven months of writing, reading, editing, and learning, and it’s been great!

My two favorite Female Network channels are those that frequently discuss the issues I encounter in my own life: Sex & Relationships and Work & Money. Work-wise, things are still a bit up in the air for me as I’m not sure which of the things I learned I’ll be using in my new job, but when it comes to Sex & Relationships, there’s a wealth of lessons I’ve learned and will continue to apply and share in the future.

Keep reading to learn about just a few of them.

MARRIED WITHOUT KIDS by Liana Smith-Bautista
Over the years, I’ve known a handful of people who have engaged in long-distance relationships, or LDRs, for short. Some of these people have said that their relationship was strengthened by the period of separation, and others have said that this caused a lot of strife between themselves and their partners.

Now, my husband is increasingly being sent out of the country for projects by his company, and in July, I will actually be moving to Cebu for a period of at least a year to help with the family business. While neither of us is looking forward to the separation these career moves have resulted in, we’re also determined to make it work for us. So we’re taking steps we hope will ensure that, following the end of this year-long separation, our marriage will turn out stronger than ever.

MARRIED WITHOUT KIDS by Liana Smith-Bautista
When there’s talk about love in my family (and that includes my extended family of numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, and honorary family members), it’s rare not to hear my parents, Becky and Ian, mentioned. I was five when my father passed away, but his memory—and the memory of their love story—has been kept alive through the family grapevine and my mom’s own stories of her past.

Anyway, in my last blog entry, I talked about the parenting advice many of my cousins and friends ask of me because of my upbringing as a child of an admittedly very awesome mother. But that’s not the only thing they ask me about. They ask me about love too. And while the past several years have given me experiences of my own to draw from, there’s a lot I still take away from the lessons I learned from my mom.
