I thought I would start off our week with four questions and a fifth one as a concluding thought. Who do you love? That question seems simple enough. Since I asked this on a religious blog, you know the answer is God, Christ, Church, or maybe your spouse. But then again, there are other things … Continue reading Some Questions for You and Me

Strong Long-Lasting Marriages
I am on a marriage track this week. I suppose because our 25th Wedding Anniversary is just around the corner. How have we stayed together? How have both our parents' marriages lasted for 50+ years?
