I love these! We're going to do this together this week. Looking forward to it. Thanks!
great questions! have you guys read 'love and respect' by dr. emerson eggrich? i have it if you'd like to borrow it. it is a christian pastor, who wrote a book with his wife on the male's perspective of marriage and the female's, and how we both need to learn to 'look through eachother's glasses' the females need to learn to take a glance through the blue shades every once in a while and the males need to take a gander through the pink shades every so often. matt and i have both read the book twice, and seen them when they have done conferences in town. they are AMAZING. it strengthens our relationship everytime we read the book or do one of their workshops.
