Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
Can Arguing Really Be This Cute?
I laugh just thinking of some of the things we argue over. I mean honestly. We have been told that our arguments are cute, funny, and some people wish they could argue like we do. But what is it that makes it so funny? So cute, yet so incredibly annoying?

Penpal Romance
In 1994, I joined a group called Down Home Singles, I was living in Nashville, TN. at the time and tired of the dating scene. About a week after joining I received my first letter from a gentlemen in Richmond,VA. We started writing each other through the service at first, for safety. That changed after the first week at a dollar a letter since we were writing daily. It got to the point, that I knew my mail carrier by his first name, I lived for those letters. Smelling of gravity cologne. He was 29 years old working on a military base and looking for a long term relationship. We wrote for 8 months when he finally got the nerve to call me. We talked for a little while and made plans to meet. I was going to fly to Richmond to see him for his vacation, in April and my ticket was bought. I was so excited and counting the days.

15 Years Later
This year, my spouse and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary, our 15th meeting anniversary. A lot of things are happening during this time. How do we know if our relationship was going to last that long and if it is going to last longer? In fact, we didn't know it, but something inside us made us believe that we would have several years together.

How to Keep a Strong Marriage
In the years of self help books, magazines and shows we still find ourselves more in need of help. One tip is ditch those books on how to save your marriage. They will not help you. They will only pull you further away from your spouse since your nose will be stuck in it instead of focusing on your person.

Words for My Husband
I'm going to be sharing something really personal with you guys. And if you know me, you know that's not something that I do with just anybody. But I read this prayer I wrote a few years ago and I felt the need to share it. My prayer wall holds pretty much every "serious" issue I've had in life since the time I was 16 years old. So you could imagine the things that I thought were "serious" over the years. I've never really been a person who likes to talk to others about what it is I deal with. I actually find it kind of difficult to open up sometimes. Which is why I started my prayer wall. I write down my prayers (of course not all of them), date them and sign my name. I like to go back and read them just to see how far God has brought me. And to see how much I've grown since.

The Simple Things
When you run out of words, what do you have left? Your actions. Telling my husband I love him can be as simple as grabbing him his favorite pecan cinnamon rolls from the bread store. The look he gets when I hand those to him is so fulfilling. He turns into a little kid. I hope I'm not the only person in a relationship that wants to please the other. It makes me feel so happy to find all these odd little ways to say I love you like that.

17 and Engaged
I am sure that there are plenty of stories similar to mine about falling in love at a young age, wanting to get married and thinking that you have your act together because everything feels right with this person. For many people this becomes true and they live long happy lives together and grow a beautiful family. Personally, I always knew I wanted to settle down with the right person and start that next chapter of my life, but I didn't think I'd be doing it at eighteen. You could say this is a love story but it is definitely part of my story but since this is a love story I need to fill you in on how I met my fiancé.
