A bit of Sunday reading.....

Over the last few months, this is what has been on Dan's night stand.......


And this has been on my night stand.......


And reading both has made our marriage stronger and better.  

They are written by a Christian Pastor and his wife about the true identity and nature of men and women....focusing on what our society has done to try and tarnish and destroy us as individuals and couples that were created in the image of a loving, kind, and STRONG God.   It's not fluffy/feel good reading - cause it forces you to really look at yourself honestly.  It's not LDS based reading from Deseret Book - but it resonates with the deepest part of me.  It has helped me to understand better what my role is in this life as a mother and a wife - and in turn, it has helped Dan to be more comfortable with the role he has as a man, father, and husband.   It has helped to answer some deep and prayerful questions I have had for awhile now about the nature of who I am.  I love the way that truth sometimes finds us in places we least expect it.

So if you're interested in finding out WHY as a wife you long for your husband to sweep in and rescue you, keep you safe and be enamored by your very presence OR if as a husband you wonder why this world wants to neuter your power, chain you with addiction, and take away your masculine strength, then read 
Wild at Heart and Captivating by John & Stasi Eldredge.  

You might just love it and it might just make your LIFE and longings make a LOT more sense.
It sure has for me.


Happy Sunday everyone!  :)
