"By small and simple things, great {marriages} are brought to pass!
If an apple a day can keep the doctor away, then a kind deed a day will give you a healthier and happier marriage. Now, that IS a great thing!

the happiest season of all??


Here we come Christmas! Here we come New Years! Just like that, some of us are scrambling to get everything done and still trying to make it to every Christmas party there ever was! Not to mention, do service projects with our families and do things to incorporate the Spirit of Christ into our homes and really celebrate this Christmas...
then there is the regular stuff. You mean I still have to clean my house and feed my children? Zach still has to go to work and we both still have our callings...:)

Might I suggest an apple? Sit down with your spouse, a piece of paper and a calendar. Talk about expectations for your holidays and prioritize them. Talk about what you can do without and what you can't. Then put it down on the calendar. We did this Sunday and Zach was a little overwhelmed with everything we have going on. I would imagine if we hadn't sat down and discussed it we would have had a word or two about not communicating about the chaos...
Don't forget to talk about a budget if you haven't already!

I hope this is helpful and that this will be your happiest holiday season ever!
