Keep Falling in Love with your Spouse

“Hey, are these our spoons?"  At Tom's words I froze for a second. Are these our spoons? Do I know you? The spoons we use every time we eat? The spoons we grab from their assigned section of the silverware drawer a dozen times a ...

Get Better in 2022

I want to get better in 2022; not to train for a marathon, begin a new diet or redecorate my home. I want to improve at what I’m already doing. I’m sorry if it sounds boring. I've learned over the years, it’s better to make ...

The Gift of Conflict in Marriage
