Wild and crazy days


Here's a photo of Mike & Susan Rawls. I think I'm starting to see a pattern between marriage and hair loss! I found out that several of our church family couples eloped (not all together). Mike & Susan eloped to Las Vegas but later renewed their vows in church after they were both saved. Don't they look so in love?

We do some crazy things in the name of love. Things can get a little hairy (pun intended) and maybe we just aren't thinking too clearly but somehow at times things turn out all right. It's not always this way. Sometimes things don't turn up so rosy but God is able to make all things work together for good for those who love the Lord. 

I want to pass on to you some good books to read on Marriage from Frank (of frank_n_lana fame) who has done years of counseling (not gone through it but rather he is the counselor).

Safe Haven Marriage by Sharon (Hart) Morris May.

How to Argue So Your SPouse Will Listen:6 Principles for Turning Arguments into Conversations by Sharon (hart) Morris May.

The Seven Principles for Making a Marriage Work by John Gottman.

Trading Places: The Best Move You'll Ever Make in Your Marriage (hardcover) by Les & Leslie Parrott.

The Way to Love Your Wife: Creating Greater Love & Passion in the Bedroom (Focus on the Family Books) by Penner and Penner.

Thanks Frank for the tips on good books. We can always improve our Marriages.

Keep those wedding photos coming everyone! So, anything wild and crazy you want to share about your nuptials? Let's keep it PG.

Wedding memories


All of us have memories of our wedding day. I have already heard some very interesting wedding stories from some of you. I was decked out in all white with my big hair. I was cool! Veronica looked like an angel from heaven as she walked down the aisle to the altar. All I knew was that I was the most fortunate of men. Who could ask for anything more than a god-fearing beautiful woman full of hope for the future. We were and still are madly in love with each other. A torrid love affair! With God's blessing of course.
It's been a wonderful journey of almost 29 years this October. I wouldn't trade these years for anything in the world. If I knew that marriage was this good I would have married sooner.

What about your wedding day memories? Any glitches? Any surprises?

Remembering is one way to keep the fire alive.

Oh, yeah, thats Veronica and me on that photo. Wow would you look at that hair?
