Why Dan Married Elaine

Happy 44th Anniversary to us!

I laughed when I learned "food" was the 44th anniversary gift. Afterall,  food brought Dan and I together and food keeps us together.

 Years ago I asked Dan why he married me. With a smile, he  joked, "You are the only woman I've ever met who can eat more than me!" He's right.

 I accepted his first dinner invitation only because I was hungry. As a vain and unwise single woman, I spent my paycheck on clothes and left none for food. When Dan  asked me to dinner. I jumped at the opportunity to be freely fed. Not trying to impress, I did eat more than Dan that night. It was love at first bite! Sorry, I couldn't resist the corn.

Dan and I love to eat. We're good at it. We enjoy fine restaurants, Nathan's hot dogs, and everything in between.

Food brought us together, but what keeps us together? Food!

 Jesus said

 "I am the living bread that came down from Heaven. 

Anyone who eats this bread will live forever,

 and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh."

 John 6:51 (NLT)

 Over 44 years Jesus has held us and fed us, comforted us and brought us back together during the difficult times.  Without Jesus (the living bread) our marriage is weak and sick and starving. With Jesus, we thrive!

Does your marriage need a booster shot? Feed on His Word. Do what Jesus tells you to do and nurse your way  to a healthy marriage. 

A good dose of Jesus brings a splash of serenity on any day!

A Red Flag for Older Marrieds Who Think They Passed the Marriage Test

The divorce rate for couples over age 50 has doubled in the last 20 years. Sad and sobering statistic. A red flag to all of us older married who think we passed the marriage test.

My heart aches for couples who think they have it all together. Come on! Who has it all together?

A middle-aged engaged couple tell me they don't need my book on marriage. Why? "We've both been married before. We know what we did wrong. This time we'll do it right!" Really? Divorce rates for second marriages are higher than the divorce rates for first marriage.

A man tells me he's been married 63 years and he doesn't need my marriage seminar. He believes his marriage will make it. I suspect he's right, but will they make it like this?

 

 

or like this?

 



We are never too old to improve our marriage. Let's not settle for the number of anniversaries, but for the quality of those anniversaries.

 

The 91 year old married 70 years tickled my heart. He bought We All Married Idiots because he knew marriage is all about work. Work that isn't finished until death do you part. This dear man wanted all of marriage, the best of marriage. He desired at age 91 to keep working to be the best husband he could be to his beloved wife. The next day he came back to my book table with the report that he had stayed up four hours reading my book and laughing himself silly. He bought another book to give away. 

"May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth."

Proverbs 5:18

 

Splash! Jump in that fountain with your honey and keep paddling!
