When I budget funds for babysitting and date night expenses, when I allot the time and put a date on the calendar, and when I work to find babysitters who love to play with my kids (and my kids can’t wait to hang out with!), it demonstrates to my husband and family that I believe my marriage is alive and valuable.

I hope I am able to encourage and serve others, to make their lives better, and to help families thrive together.
