Marriage...

In December of 2005,  Marlene & I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. Celebrated, yes...why not...a good marriage doesn’t happen by chance or by itself...but takes effort. And to top it off we are not only married but see each other throughout the day because we also work together.

To be honest with you...I love learning...finding ways to do things better...in my business, life, & marriage...so we read books, attend seminars,& purposefully keep our eyes open for ideas for the best marriage possible...to be able to happily grow old together.

One of the books that has made a huge impact on our marriage is ”Intimacy-100 Day Guide To Lasting Relationships” By Doug Weiss. So many books talk about issues between husbands and wives but this book actually gives step by step guidelines that we are actually applying on a daily basis.

Marlene put it best, “wives, if you want romance & genuine love...and husbands...if you would like Intimacy-without begging-this book is for you” Another learning experience is through Marriage Uncensored. It’s a locally produced TV show that Marlene & I have helped sponsor. Dave Currie is the host & I can always find a nugget or 2 in every show (they also have shows online at www.MarriageUncensored.com).

We have also attended “A Weekend To Remember” Family Life Marriage Conference. We have attended the one in Whistler but they are held all over Canada & USA. It’s a nice get a way...leaving behind the distraction of life & a great way to invest in your marriage relationship. (Click onto www.FamilyLifeCanada.com for dates & locations.)

So if you think you need a tune up, put some spark into your relationship, or just looking to happily grow old together...give one or all of these ideas a try.
