On the daily, we're thankful for our spouses, but I'll be the first to admit that there are times where I also forget that I'm super blessed, super grateful for my SUPERMAN!
It's easy to get wrapped up in the world of...well, LIFE! Anything that life brings at you is a good AND bad distraction. But at least we can be reminded of these things. I'm terrible at goal-setting, so we'll see how this pans out, but for now, I "plan" to follow the goal of letting my husband know just how thankful I am for his love, and who he represents, who he's grown to be, and then some...
What's your goal today?

Marriage Partnership: For The Fun of It
Excerpt from Kyria's Marriage Partnership
This past weekend my husband and I hit the World Series of Drag Racing. It was two extremely loud, rocket-fast days of hot rod cars and heat.
Anyone who knows me knows that anything to do with cars isn't on my bucket list. But my husband loves it, so I went. I did my best to be good-natured and positive about it, and I really did enjoy myself. And I thought several of the cars were wicked too, similar to this one or this one.
I have to admit, I had a good time. And the best part was that from the drag strip we traveled to Galena, a quaint historic town filled with tea shops and a great bookstore. Ah, paradise. And my hubby went along, good-natured and positive.
In short, we had a great weekend, traded off fun events, and enjoyed each other. That makes marriage fun. There's something amazing that happens when we say yes to our spouses. Here's an article that explores that more.
Also, do you feel as though you're spending too much time with the in-laws? One couple did, and here's what they did about it.
Live and love well this week!

Why We Need Anniversaries
Excerpt from Kyria's Marriage Partnership
Traditionally, June has been the most popular month for weddings. Which means it's pretty popular for anniversaries too!
And while anniversaries are a great time to celebrate with dinner out (no kids, thank you very much) or a nice trip (my friend is spending her 25th anniversary at Walt Disney World), it's really about more than that.
Anniversaries are a great opportunity to look back at your journey and see God's hand at work alongside you. Over and over in the Old Testament, God calls his people to remember and recount their history and God's faithfulness. Your marriage is a story, too, that God wants you to remember and build on.
To help get you started, check out our article, "Why We Need Anniversaries." And as you think back on your own wedding, be glad that you weren't married during medieval times. Many weddings happened in June back then because that's when the annual bath typically was—so the bride and groom would still smell relatively fresh!
Also, as you reminisce, consider interactive journaling as a great way to communicate with your beloved. Here's an article that tells of the power of using this creative method to share thoughts, conflicts, and joys.
