First of all, Cortney and Jacoy are some of the nicest people I know. If you need someone to emulate as you strive to be more kind--look no further than the Christensens! Another thing I love about this couple is that they have different interests and hobbies, but when it comes to what matters most in life they are aligned. Awesome example!

 Cutest song and poem that Ron and Judy wrote to each other for their 50th wedding anniversary!! Ron and Judy are working on their 52nd year of marriage! They are such a good match for each other. I hope that after I have been married for 50 years I am as beautiful as Judy.

Welcome to February and "Marriage Rocks!": A social media celebration

-
February may be the littlest month, but for me it is the biggest month of love! To celebrate all the joy that love has brought into my life, I am going to spotlight 28 couples that I look up to and admire. I will share what I love about the couple, on Facebook I am spotlighting some interesting tidbits and pieces of advice from the couple themselves (this blog will have their full questionnaire!) and then include a little pearl of advice from a higher source of learning than myself. I hope that by doing this I can help share the good that is in the world. I want to spotlight all the different types of happy that exist in the world. I hope to inspire confidence in the days and relationships ahead. And maybe, those who enjoy these spotlights can take one or two little things away from it that can impact their own relationships in a big way. Happy February!
