Description
People change.The person you "I do" at the wedding won't be the same person at "death do you part". This reality will either become the most beautiful and exciting thing about your marriage or the most destructive.We have watched too many marriages fail because the couples grew apart. They lost their connection, love, and intimacy. We didn't want that to be us. We wanted to grow together.Grow is the key word. Change is inevitable, growth is optional. How could we know if we were growing--if we were getting better? When growth isn't happening, bad habits and poor character become permanent fixtures that cause endless frustration in a relationship.As we celebrated our first anniversary we brought along a blank leather-bound journal and a list of questions. The goal for the occasion was simple... -Capture the past year's memories that we never wanted to forget-Evaluate the current health of our relationship-Dream about next year's possibilities-And give each other a chance to honestly address areas needing improvementIt was a journal, an assessment, a workbook, and a goals list wrapped into one. It helped us so much that we made it a tradition and now do it every year.We thought the exercise could be just as rewarding for your marriage and pray you enjoy this resource.Growing together,Ben & Lauren Debayle
