countdown for couples.

so i haven't been on in awhile. to catch you up on life before i get to my point i'll let you know about my weekend... friday consisted of a softball game i pitched in then tyler&i stayed the night at his parents in Bow Island fri,sat,and sun night[45 minutes from the Hat], then saturday we woke up to start our 4 softball games back to back at 10am, sunday was his parents 25th anni. party we ate good food and socialized with friends and family-to-be, then last night we played KILLER BUNNIES... great game you should own it. and i believe this thursay-saturday we will be in Calgary [3 hours from the Hat] visiting their Fair aka STAMPEDE and then hitting up Street Wheelers with some friends.

now that that's covered, tyler&i have started reading "countdown for couples" by Dale&Susan Mathis... this is a christian based pre-maritial counseling book, sounds a li'l boring right? but actually it's been amazing and we've only done 2 chapters hah!

i would reccommend this book for any couple who is considering getting engaged, or already engaged... it has a lot of inteactive stuff in it... like questions for eachother and things for couples to talk about. some of it is stuff you'd think "well i already know this" but when you start to talk you realize you learn a lot more, and deeper things. it has serious questions and discussion topics for couples as well as "just for fun" questions and discussion a good balance of both keeps us reading! it also teaches us how God is always to be the centre of a relationship, as marriage is not just between man and woman but a covenant between that man, woman, and christ.

"A cord of three strands is not easily broken" Ecc. 4:12

and if you aren't into the whole "god" aspect of things i would even still reccomend this book for the discussion and question peices and words of advice throughout it!

anyways you should definitely buy this book if you're considering engagement/marriage or are engaged! also they have a website that is alright... http://www.countdownforcouples.com
