The Marriage Challenge For Men

A male friend of mine, Kevin, noticed that wives were participating in the 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge and decided to  create a Marriage Improvement Challenge  for men. The challenge is 28 days which puts it in sync with the husband encouragement challenge wives are doing! A double challenge in one household is a recipe for limitless love, selflessness and growth. Welcome to the challenge! Try it, if you dare, but just know that you run the risk of improving your marriage, honoring your wife and cultivating a lifestyle that reflects selflessness. Are you ready? Well, men, let’s dive in!

The Greatest Proposal|The Power of Storytelling

 

“The scariest thing a woman ever offers is to believe that she is worth pursuing, to open her heart up to pursuit, to continue to open her heart and offer the beauty she holds inside, all the while fearing it will not be enough.” – John & Stasi Eldredge

The other day, I was asked to share my proposal story. I hadn’t shared in a while and found myself giggling and blushing like a high school girl as I described the magical night.

It was a beautiful summer day in the month of June. I had spent the day with my girls getting dolled up. We had lunch at my favorite restaurant, Wishbone, and afterwards spent the day shopping and pampering ourselves with manicures and pedicures. My boyfriend at the time, now husband, asked me to reserve the evening for him. When he picked me up, he was in a tux, looking immaculate. After greeting each other with a hug and kiss, he escorted me out the door and we walked down the street hand in hand. Now ladies, I had on heels and was hoping the destination was nearby because my feet were already killing me.
