Happy 9th Anniversary! My wedding dress looked a lot like yours (I got married 7 years ago). I love off-the-shoulder styles.

And your hair is beautiful! You remind me a little bit of Anne of Green Gables.

Happy Anniversary!

I enjoyed reading this post, especially the part about not closing yourselves off. I really need to work on that.

Happy anniversary Meg! What do we do? … try to get away on date nights and have some time for just the two of us.

Congratulations on your anniversiry. We have been married 22 years with 6 children. Our secret is to talk through it all not to hush up or keep our feelings to ourselves. Through good times, sad times and every day do not go to bed mad, pray about it talk about it and work through it. It is never good to get others involved throgh he say she say but to go straight to the source and let our love sort it out

Congratulations on your anniversary! I’ve been married 11 years and have 3 children. Something I do to help my marriage thrive is showing my husband respect as the head of our household. Proverbs 21:19 says “Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife.” I try to make my home a haven. My husband is truly my best friend and we have so much fun together. Early in my marriage I often ruined that with nagging and expecting my husband to make me happy rather than finding my joy in Christ. Many blessings!

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. I truly enjoyed reading your post. It’s what marriage is all about…the good, bad and ugly. It’s life and it’s commitment. You do grow up with each other, maybe even change roles.
Thanks for the positive marriage story.

Lots of kisses and hugs!
Every day!

We too make sure for our anniversary we take at least a night away together.

Can I say this ‘outloud’? Sleep au naturale.:)

I would love to win these books. Please don’t be put off by my overseas location. I have a friend in the states who can get mail for me and send it on!
thanks for offering these books, I am sure the winner will be blessed by them.

Great post! Happy Anniversary!
I’ve been married for almost 11 years – we went on a week long getaway for the first time since having our 3 kids (we waited 5 years before having our first) in celebration of our 10 year anniversary. Anyway – that was “just what the doctor called for” as my Husband just described it.
Date nights; mini getaways; longer getaways – I recommend them all!
Thanks so much!
