Ok, it’s always nice to be creative when proposing. But hiding the ring in a milkshake, and then having a race to finish the shake is a really bad idea. Yep, she swallowed it! You can read more here. (Oh yeah, they’re LDS.)
My brother died in a car accident in May 2006. His family was badly injured as well. His death was an emotionally painful experience for me. As part of my coping, my mother gave me a copy of a book titled, The Message, by Lance Richardson. It gave me some comfort, though certainly didn’t relieve very much of my pain.
A few months ago, I posted a topic about Marriage Fitness. This has become my New Year’s resolution. I went ahead and bit the bullet by purchasing the Lone Ranger course. The author is Mort Fertel, and he makes no illusions that his method is a quick or easy solution to a better marriage, but he does guarantee it works, if followed. Part of the package includes a book with the same name.
He has an interesting perspective on the Biblical story of Rachel and Leah. As we all know, Jacob (who later changed his name to Israel), greatly loved Rachel. After working for 7 years to marry Rachel, he was duped into marrying Rachel’s sister Leah, and then had to work another 7 years to marry Rachel. Fertel makes an interesting note that Jacob didn’t complain that he married Leah, and was satisfied to know that he could still have Rachel.
I heard a radio ad for a Marriage Fitness website. There is a really interesting free assessment here.
Now, I’ll warn you that they are trying to sell you something, but they also have sent me about 7 emails for free. They stress that they are not marriage counselors (which they loathe), but rather help you maintain a healthy marriage. They give you some “marriage exercises” which help get your marriage in shape.
