As time goes on, it's often the case that the excitement diminishes a bit, and we settle into more of a routine. What I've come to learn in both my marriage, and my faith, is that there's always ways we can keep the fire lit, and bring that newness back. It's different for everyone what works best, but finding that "prompt" to keep it fresh is important, and extremely satisfying as well.<br /><br />Have a Blessed Day!Phather Phil Malmstromhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13381497588682411499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501996593127787714.post-55360700453612596012011-10-06T10:41:47.471-05:002011-10-06T10:41:47.471-05:00Well written Jenifer!
