My Marriage Is Forever

"Romance is not the foundation of a marriage. It is the fire in the fireplace—the warmth and security of a relationship that says, 'We may have struggles, but I love you, and everything is okay.' We ought to make romance a part of our everyday diet in our marriage relationship." Dennis Rainey

I just thought I would check-in and see how all of you are doing. Are you all getting along ok...or is your spouse making you crazy? 😉

I've been under stay-at-home orders for about 4 weeks now, but I'm always home with my husband so I'm used to it. However, I've seen some of my friends saying they want to lock their spouse out of the house. LOL

Anyone else out there needing to spend some time apologizing during this forced togetherness?

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 King James Version (KJV)

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

I Love This! "It is better to Bend a little than to Break." Too many people forget the simple art of compromise.

Be loving, confident, willing to meet the other person where they are, kind, and open to all that you can be. Love never fails. ~ xoxo Michelle & Barb

I opened this page back because I think in this day and age it's really important for people to remember what a wonderful blessing God gave us in marriage! I opened it up...and then got crazy busy taking care of my wonderful husband and beautiful daughters and I failed to come speak with you like I should.

My sweetie is recovering from surgery right now and our youngest daughter broke her leg. It had been crazy in my house. LOL

I promise to do better...but for tonight let me just remind you to always make sure to say "I Love You" to the spouse that God has blessed you with. My husband and I say it time after time each day...and every time I hear him say it...my heart sighs with happiness.

It's time for a new year of Weekend To Remember Marriage Getaways. My husband and I always enjoy our time together during these conferences. We have been group coordinators for the past 15 years and each year is better than the last.

People always ask us why we go to these things because we "have a great marriage" or "don't have anything wrong" in our marriage...all I can say to that is... Exactly! We have a great marriage because we take the time to invest in it. What you get out of your marriage depends on what you are willing to invest in it...and we both invest 100%.

My husband is still recovering from a surgery that he had in Nov. and I have been so focused on that, I'm afraid the deadline for the 1/2 price discount almost got by me this year.

This is where you can find the discount code and do a search for the getaway closest to you. This will be one of the best investments you will make all year, so don't miss out!

Marriage is a lifelong adventure of growing together through every age and stage of life. The happiest couples are those who commit to learning skills that help them weather difficult seasons and deal confidently with relationship challenges.
