Marriage links for the week
Richard, a Methodist minister in Wales and author of the blog Connexions, has a post called Celebrating Marriage, so I have to link it. Though the post is short, it links to Real Live Preacher's excellent post Marriage is Good Work To Do, which says (among other things):
The busier you are, the more intentional you must be about your marriage. In the end, the children will leave, jobs will come and go, and even something as precious to me as writing may only be here for a season. Jeanene and I hope to be together until the end. And when the end comes, I do not want to regret our journey together, knowing that I shortchanged it because I was too busy doing “important” things.
According to Katy at fallible.com, a husband who knows just what to say is one of the best things in the world.
Ben of Marriages Restored chimes in on the discussion of my post on monogamy.
Jane Missionary ponders the meaning of submission in the context of marriage and culture.
King of Fools tells why he received The Look™ from his wife, and deservedly so. I myself have received The Look more times than I care to count, and deservedly so.
Doug McHone of CoffeeSwirls writes about guarding your heart to preserve love for your spouse and the health of your marriage.
I of course guard my heart around women who are not my wife, but I can't help being flattered when Miss O'Hara says (toward the end of the post), "I have to say that Mrs. Happy is one of the luckiest women on earth. *sigh* They don't make too many like that anymore."
