A Soap Box Moment

Well I'm not one to read a whole lot of self-help books but I am currently reading one I think everyone who is married should read with their spouse. It's called "10 Great Dates to Energize Your Marriage" by Daivd & Claudia Arp. Dan's company is doing this with their employees which is how we come by the book. I like to think that me and Dan have a pretty healthy marriage, but this book and the way the dates are structured has really helped me identify the areas I have slipped a little and also helped me really focus on JUST me and Dan- once you have kids it's really easy to loose that. Anyway, it has a lot of good things to say, but it talks about having an Intentional Marriage, and I love that phrase.
I remember hearing people tell me before Iwas married, and you hear people say it all the time "Marriage is hard work, you have to work on it everyday." But what does that mean, how do you work on your marriage? Nobody ever tells you how to do that, you know. And this book helps give you a little guidance on things that you can do to actively work on your marriage. I'm not doing a very good job of expressing myself, I would just encourage you all to get the book and try it out I think you will be pleasantly surprised like I have been :)
