One of my favorite things about holidays, trips, events, etc. are the days leading up to them. Minus the stress and preparation, I love the anticipation of something special on the horizon. It's really a treat, especially when you might find yourself otherwise faced with a case of the Mondays.
This week I am counting down the days to the Weekend to Remember marriage conference - and I only have to count to 5!
"Marriage conference? Oh no! Are you guys doing okay?" In truth, we are in a great place. I feel so blessed to be married to the man that I am married to. It's unfortunate that some of us only think of marriage conferences and counseling when we are in crisis. The hard truth is that just because my marriage is smooth sailing for now, doesn't mean that we won't hit rough waters up ahead. Whenever you can learn from someone else's experience or expertise, do it! I think that a marriage conference is the perfect way.
It's funny because you marry the person that you love, and then when things are not perfect, because really, nothing is ever perfect, you end up criticizing them and pointing the finger. And then, something kind of odd happens. You get to a point where you realize... "hmm. Maybe it's not you, it's me..?"
The bottom line is this: I really want to be an excellent wife, and I realize that, well, I can improve in some areas. I am going to this conference with an open mind, hoping to gain some helpful tools that will expand my ability to love my husband more. And THAT, friends, is going to be a fun challenge because I already love him a whole bunch!

I think going to a marriage conference when you're not having trouble will help you for when you are having trouble. I don't know about you but I take advice and help more easily when I'm in a happy place and not feeling defensive! Have fun!
