"I am very new to
your email newsletter. In fact this is my first one, but
I just wanted to add an idea for Valentines Day for your
readers. The movie 'Fireproof' has been getting great
reviews and I've heard couples really benefiting from
it. It would be a great date movie for married couples
to see and then after it, evaluate their marriage on
what they most love about each other and areas they can
improve on. I know this is what we'll be doing!" ~

"One year my
husband surprised me by having a catering firm come to
the house and cook us a steak dinner. Not only did
he do this for me but two of his daughters and their

On the first Valentine's Day we were married, I came home to our entire king sized bed covered in rose petals! On our fifth Valentine's Day, my husband re-created our first Valentines date, from the picnic dinner on the beach to the red tie he wore!" ~ Donielle "One year my husband tapped into the resource of a lovely older lady friend, who coincidentally happened to be our landlord at the time.

I was eternally impressed." ~ Jennifer V. "This year is the first 'married' Valentine’s Day for us so we’ve decided to try the Nancy Twigg $5 Valentine’s Day Challenge. I have no idea what Phil is doing for me, but I have my gift for him planned, thanks to finding a three-opening frame in the closet that I had forgotten about. The top will hold a favorite wedding photo of the two of us. The center will hold Phil’s favorite verse of scripture (Eph. 2:10). The smaller opening at the bottom will hold a special love note from me. Hallmark has a great deal going on a special set of boxed cards …10 handmade cards for $10 (and boy, are they gorgeous). They are blank inside so I found two of them that could easily accompany my special Valentine’s gift to my Prince Philip..." ~ Tammy W. Editor's Note: Thanks to these readers who took time to write! |
