Take a moment with me, ladies, to remember back to the early days of marriage. You loved to see your husband's face, hear his voice, and feel his touch.

Laughing together, taking long walks, love notes, sweet phone calls, and all the other gifts that let you know you were loved and cherished by each other. No one had to tell you to delight and cherish him. Let's fast forward ten years. Life happens. Days are busy. ... continue reading...
