Recently we have been discussing the book "Love & Respect" by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs in our couples bible study. I have learned over the past year that trials get harder the closer you are to a breakthrough, and I believe that is especially true in marriage as well.

This truly was a wonderful surprise!
Thank you, Nate, for going out of your way to show me how much I mean to you. I love you with all my heart and soul!
