Are you having fun in your marriage? It sounds like a ridiculous question doesn’t it! After all we got married because we liked being with each other and we had fun.  But now, many of us don’t even think about fun. We are just trying to get through the day-cleaning up the next poopy diaper, [...]

I have mentioned to several strangers here lately that my husband and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and are more in love now than ever… I must admit I have been taken aback by their reactions. With absolute wonder and awe one young lady said, “That’s amazing…” and the look in her eye [...]

I had the pleasure of being a part of the inaugural voyage of the FamilyLife Love Like You Mean It Cruise this past Valentine’s Day! I must confess, I knew it was going to be great. I mean, come on — a cruise ship for five days and I wouldn’t be cooking or cleaning one single [...]

Do you long for the opportunity to have a date night with your spouse? Do you feel cheated because you cannot manage to get out of the house, and date night just isn’t happening? Newsflash … you do not have to leave the house to have a date night! Really! Allow me to explain. Years ago, [...]
