Okay ladies, its your turn to get some tips on how to build more intimacy with your husband. Men and women have known for years that they are fundamentally different.

Sometimes the greatest threat to our marriage relationship is just living—that is, the routine of everyday life. We are so wrapped up in our jobs, our kids, our laundry, our bills, our TV shows...our life, that we just naturally drift apart. We lose the intimacy—the connection—to our spouse, and if we are not careful we'll find ourselves replacing that void [...]
Spring is in the air...or at least the promise of Spring. The weather is warming up, the birds are starting to chirp again, and baseball is underway.

We really enjoy this time of year and have several family traditions that make it special for our whole family. We already have our tree up, because we go as a family to cut it down the day [...]
When November rolls around, we start thinking of all that we are thankful for. In today’s world, this topic is not very popular. When it comes to our relationship with our spouses, we sometimes forget about thankfulness. It is a simple expression and will bring much joy to those on the receiving end of our gratefulness.
