Stirring Passion in Marriage [from the man cave]

Thanks for joining us for part 1 in our series called A “Made for Adventure” Marriage.  Many, many people reach the end of their parenting years and realize one morning, sitting at the table that they don’t know the person across from them anymore.

“We’re on the same team” – [the girly side of things]

My marriage gets mixed up, turned around and in-side-out ALL the time. And I am guessing yours does to. The circumstances aren’t necessarily epic…but the heat is turned up all the same. Perhaps you disagree on which family to visit for Christmas. Perhaps you are trying to get out the door and one baby is…
