Hello Beloved Readers!The next few blog entries are generated from excerpts from "Simply Romantic Nights," published by FamilyLife. We were given this gift by a young couple - Heather and Glen, when Paul and I were married about 10 years. It has been a source of ideas and information on making marriage an adventure every day of our lives. I recently picked up this resource again. The truths contained herein about marriage are tried and true. I will do my best to share the truths with you and share practical ways that you can apply them in your marriages. Enjoy this adventure!!
Listen to this:
"In Portland, a 53-year-old wife discovers a rose in the driver's seat of her car.
A 29-year-old wife in Little Rock is sent on a scavenger hunt for her birthday.
In Rochester, a 42-year-old husband arrives home after work to find the house filled with candles and the children elsewhere." (p.9)
In Bethlehem, this 57-year-old woman snatches her husband away for a weekend away - to a Bethlehem hotel......
I have learned, that if I want my marriage to flourish and be intimate on all levels - I need to love well. I need to be purposeful and planned when it comes to my marriage. Both Paul and I have committed to this idea. And, we become closer and closer every single day of our marriage.
I recently saw my friend Melanie and her husband taking a walk. As we passed, she shouted, "We are working on our marriage! This is our talking time!" And away they went... talking and sharing.... together.
I went to my sister, Cheri's house last Saturday. She and her husband had just gotten back from their regular Saturday morning rendezvous. She said, "I cannot believe how important this time is! I can't believe that we have put this off at times."
Learn to love well. You will not believe the benefits; to each of you and to your families.
People are watching, observing.... What are we showing them?
