Welcome'to'the' 14 #Day'Romancing'Your'Husband'Challenge!'
Have&you&ever&wondered&what&your&husband&really&longs&for&in&the&woman&of&his&dreams?&&
Chances&are&he&won’t&tell&you,&but&he&told&me.&Well,&maybe¬&your&husband,&but&hundreds&of&
men&just&like&him&did.&And&he&wants&a&little&romance.&&
I&remember&my&wedding&day.&I&bet&you&do&too.&Before&I&walked&into&that&sanctuary,&I&looked&in&
the&mirror&in&the&Bride’s&Room,&and&thought&about&all&the&women&who&had&walked&the&aisle&
before&me&–women&so&full&of&promise&and&hope.&I&pondered&what&could&possibly&go&wrong&that&
so&many&marriages&end&in&divorce.&Over&the&years,&thirtySthree&of&them&at&the&time&of&this&
writing,&I&discovered&the&answer&to&that&question.&A&lot&can&go&wrong.&&
I&don’t&have&a&big&bad&story&of&how&God&took&our&terrible&tumultuous&marriage&and&miraculously&
transformed&it&into&storybook&romance&filled&with&white&knight&rescues,&relentless&romance,&and&
rides&into&the&sunset&leaving&all&danger&and&darkness&behind.&&Even&though&there&has&been&all&of&
that&at&one&time&or&another...it&is&no&fairy&tale.&&
Our&marriage&is&a&daily&journal,&one&page&after&another,&one&day&after&another.&&Some&entries&
are&smudged&with&tears,&others&are&dogSeared&as&favorites.&Some&days&are&marred&by&
unsuccessful&erasures&that&wouldn’t&quite&rub&away&the&words&said;&others&are&finger&worn&by&
reading&of&precious&events&time&and&time&again.&&
For&most&of&us,&life&is&just&daily.&However,&the&accumulation&of&small&struggles&can&nibble&like&
termites&to&undermine&the&foundation&of&what&appears&to&be&a&healthy&structure&just&as&surely&
as&an&unexpected&earth&shaking&rumble&of&sudden&disaster.&And&routine,&even&good&routine,&can&
rob&us&of&the&joy&of&marriage,&if&we&let&it.&
That’s&where&the& 14 #Day'Romance'Challenge&comes&in.&We’re&going&to&shake&it&up&a&bit!&And&
spice&it&up&a&lot!&&
