A Cord of Three Strands Is Not Easily Broken. ~ Ecclesiastes 4:12

Meeting my husband was the best thing that has ever happened to me. We met online. Now, seven years later, our photo is still on the home page of the website. It started with a simple Gardenia in the mail, and from there, our love has grown.

On June 15th, 2009, we remembered our seventh wedding anniversary. And we used our Squidoo earnings to celebrate! I'd like to celebrate marriage with people all over the world by sharing some of my favorite G-rated menories with you, as well as featuring our fondest resources for romance and marriage from our most respected mentors.

But first...

... although there are many people we have to thank for helping and encouraging us with their great advise and wisdom throughout the years, there is One special thanks that we owe to a Friend whose guidance and wisdom we could not have survived without, and Who, in fact, is responsible for helping us to find each other and for sending those helpful people our way: our LORD, Jesus Christ. LORD, you have made strong two people who were weak. We love you. Thanks for loving us first.

"Love is not self seeking, it's not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong."

~1 Corinthians 13:5

Boundaries in Marriage

Amazon Price: $10.79 (as of 12/18/2009)Buy Now

Learn when to say yes and when to say no -- to your spouse and to others -- to make the most of your marriage.

Only when a husband and wife know and respect each other's needs, choices, and freedom can they give themselves freely and lovingly to one another. Boundaries are the "property lines" that define and protect husbands and wives as individuals. Once they are in place, a good marriage can become better, and a less-than-satisfying one can even be saved.

Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, counselors and authors of the award-winning best-seller Boundaries, show couples how to apply the 10 laws of boundaries that can make a real difference in relationships. They help husbands and wives understand the friction points or serious hurts and betrayals in their marriage -- and move beyond them to the mutual care, respect, affirmation, and intimacy they both long for.

Boundaries in Marriage helps couples:

*Set and maintain personal boundaries and respect those of their spouse. *Establish values that form a godly structure and architecture for their marriage. *Protect their marriage from different kinds of "intruders."
*Work with a spouse who understands and values boundaries -- or work with one who doesn't.

Make Your Marriage Sizzle! 

I recommend this book for every marriage, young or old. This book is explicit, but not tasteless. The diagrams are not appropriate for children to see and only couples who are already married should read it.

The Act of Marriage

Amazon Price: $7.99 (as of 12/18/2009)Buy Now

With over 2.5 million copies in print, The Act of Marriage has helped thousands of Christian couples maximize their joy in sexual union. The difference it's made has, without exaggeration, saved marriages. Pastors, doctors, and psychologists alike have endorsed the frank, practical insights shared by Tim and Beverly LaHaye. This updated and expanded edition gives a fresh, even more informative edge to an already definitive book. Greater details are included on such important topics as the key to orgasmic love and the value of Kegel exercises. New sections discuss "sex after sixty" and five reasons why God created sex. All supported by Bible passages from the clear, understandable New International Version and by the very latest findings in the fields of medicine and sociology. For engaged couples and newlyweds who want to make lovemaking a joy from the start . . . for couples who have been married for years and want to maintain the flame or rekindle the embers . . . for every husband and wife who wants to be a better lover--here are the insights into each other's bodies, psychosexual makeup, and need for tender, unselfish affection that can help you achieve your goal.

When two people achieve lasting happiness, this is not solely because they are great lovers but because they are also--I must put it crudely--good people; controlled, loyal, fairminded, mutually adaptable people.

~ C. S. Lewis
