You may or may not be a Dave Ramsey fan; however, we named our dog Ramsey (meant as an honor, not an insult - we love our dog!), so it's pretty clear that we appreciate his lessons on finances. In truth, they have given us great financial direction! Throughout his years of experience helping people with their money, and as well as his and his team’s research, he has discovered money problems to be the number one reason people get divorced. Divorce, at its core, is usually the result of selfishness on the part of one or both marriage partners. How you handle money does shine a light on your … [Read more...]
Is He or She Too Good to be True?
The beginning of a new relationship can leave you feeling like you're walking on air and in the clouds. I recall that feeling well.

For the past couple of weeks, I have been sick with a super annoying cold. Though it hasn't knocked me completely off my feet, it has worn me out significantly. I get up late, eat, and after I eat, I'm too tired to do anything but go back to sleep. Somewhere around 5pm I have a three hour window to get something done before I'm exhausted again.

Why You Should Date Your Spouse
Dating can be fun when you are single and carefree – or just single. It is a special time to get to know someone and enjoy some relaxing time (although most of us have at least one story of a date that was not so relaxing). After marriage, dating is more important than before marriage. How that is possible? After all, wouldn't dating be more important when you are trying to get to know if someone is right for you to marry?
