2017-05-16

I was just thinking back to when my husband and I were engaged. I loved that 6 month season of our relationship. It was a time when I knew he would be my husband very soon, but the anticipation of our wedding was still building up. Our relationship didn’t change much, but our commitment level had. Marriage was on the horizon for us and we were beyond excited to enter into a deeply intimate relationship…for the rest of our lives! Marriage is a fantastic blessing, and I brag about the benefits every chance I get. However, marriage also has hard seasons that tested our love and character.

2016-11-15

About 5 years ago my husband and I watched Fireproof, a faith-based film that follows a marriage through brokenness to restoration. I thought I had reviewed it and shared it on my blog for others to know about, but I checked recently and didn’t see it. Despite being nearly 8 years old, this movie is very relevant for every marriage. I highly recommend it. I rented it from Amazon recently for the second time and took a few notes.

A little over a month ago Aaron and I randomly decided to have a fun and spontaneous date night mid-week. The summer weather was warm and we wanted to enjoy it together.

This is a guest post by Danielle who provides a list of beautiful ways to find time to spend together as a family. I hope you are as inspired as I was to invest in time spent with my family, even in the busy seasons. Danielle Writes: My husband has a schedule that is never the same from day-to-day and week-to-week. He often works nights and a few weekend days a month.

It makes it very difficult to have date nights, be involved in small groups at church, or spend much time with friends. We have to plan our life a
