With it being Labor Day weekend, we wanted to provide you with a great list of marriage blogs we love and their recent posts which stood out to us as SPECIAL. These couples have worked hard to help our marriages grow day after day, post after post whether we take the time to read them or not. We hope you’ll have time to read the ones listed below, but also to leave a comment thanking them for serving all marriages (your marriage) in such a helpful way.  Blogging isn’t easy – it takes time, study and personal pursuit of godliness in your own life and marriage; You can’t give what you don’t have!  So if you only have time to read one post, make sure you leave a comment of “thanks!”  It is Labor Day after all!

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.  We will be welcoming another blogging couple into our home on Labor Day – we’ll tell you all about it next week!  Until then…it is
