Are You and Your Spouse Due for a Vacation?

Our honeymoon wasn’t the greatest. Shoot, I don’t think my wife even considers it a honeymoon. A honeymoon to her is somewhere warm, near water, or on a beach. I agree!

That wasn’t the description of our honeymoon. So, when my friends at BMWK announced the 2014 BMWK Marriage Cruise and Seminar at Sea I couldn’t wait to talk to her about it!

How to Have Fun and Get Fit as a Couple

Some friends of ours recently let us borrow the workout videos Insanity and P90X. We decided we wanted to get in better shape, and if we were going to do it then why not challenge ourselves. Well…both sets of DVDs are sitting under our TV collecting dust as I write this.

Not only that, they’ve accepted a boring marriage. I don’t know about you, but I’m not accepting a boring marriage. I’m not accepting anything, but an amazing marriage!

You get married, go on your honeymoon, and your marriage is the most amazing thing you could ever dream of.

25 Ways to Love Your Spouse

Do you love your spouse? How does your spouse know you love them? Maybe you tell them every day. Maybe every time you go separate ways your last words are “I love you.” And you probably do love them and vice versa. What if the words you say, don’t necessarily spell love for your spouse?

How You Can Have an Unbreakable Marriage

Less than six months into our marriage, I was almost certain we weren’t going to make it. As I reflect today, I am 100% sure we would not have made it! One event transformed the course of our marriage, and now, 12 years later I am 100% certain we will make it, ’til death do us part.
