Welcome to another week of Intentional Conversations! Instead of me getting behind the camera for our weekly vlog, I thought I’d shake things up a little.
- Do you want to grow in communicating with your spouse?
- Do you wonder what your spouse thinks of your marriage?
- Do you wonder why he always drapes his underwear over the hamper instead of tossing them in?
Well, now’s your chance to learn.
I have put together a FREE ebook, A Surrendered Marriage: A Guide to Intentional Conversations. This book was created to facilitate and encourage intentional conversations in your marriage. I provide worksheets for you to work through that will help you determine ways in which you can grow as not only an individual, but as a couple, as well. As a result, you will strengthen your marriage and even have a little fun along the way!

Love Love Love….can’t wait to get started on this! I plan on printing out and working through once we get settled…next few weeks!
This is so awesome! I can’t wait to finish going through my emails so I can get it:)
Thank you so much for all that you share. Since I have to choose – I’d pick Having a Little Fun, but I think Relationship Evaluation is probably more crucial because — both are important but it’s often easier and more desirable to have fun than to evaluate a relationship.
I couldn’t agree more! But when the relationship and communication is flowing the way it should, it makes it EVEN MORE fun!
SO TRUE… what I attempted to convey was that generally speaking it’s easy & fun to discuss ways to have fun and it’s not so much fun to evaluate/discuss relationships. However – if the relationship is new one – it’s a little different; when my husband and I were first dating we would talk for hours about our relationship for fun <3
I haven't read your e-book yet… but I studied interpersonal communication in college (received a degree, too) and a fun/exciting way to evaluate a relationship is through various surveys & worksheets. My poor husband filled one out at least once a week while we were dating – haha. However, it proved to strengthen our relationship because it improved our communication skills in a fun way. (Of course you have to discuss the answers).
Another very important thing to keep in mind, is that we also have to continually evaluate ourselves, because as we age/mature and our roles change through life we change – which also affects how we relate with others, especially our spouses.
p.s. I should also add that even tho’ it’s a fun thing to look for ways to have fun, for some people it’s that last thing on their list (my husband and I are guilty of that because caring for our children’s needs is very time consuming-that’s just where we are in this stage of our lives having been blessed with 4 children who all enjoy playing sports & a husband who enjoys sharing his talents thorugh volunteering year round as a bball coach/manager. I agree that it is very IMPORTANT to remember to have fun and enjoy each other – that’s why people get married – to enjoy their best friend forever. However, it’s also okay and oftentimes necessary to re-define FUN!
Hi I subscribed yesterday both through email and rss, and I still can’t see the link to get the book, I saw your previous response and went to the post where you show the arrow to the link, but I don’t have that instead this is what shows after the post:

I am traveling right now, but I will check back later to see if you have any questions. But you should be able to see them at the bottom of your email/rss, not on the website.
Oh, and thank you for your kind words. They were such an encouragement to me!
I recently signed my husband and I up for the Surrendered Marriage challenge. I have been receiving emails from the site, however, I have not received the email with the link for the book. I also requested to become a part of the Facebook group and have yet to receive a response. Just looking to be sure I have all of the tools necessary to participate come April 16. Looking forward to it.
Thank you
April Vines

I have tried accessing your Surrendered Marriage with no luck. I tried a couple of times last year…and then when I read your recent post I tried again. What am I doing wrong? I don’t seem to find anything to link me to it.
