News Flash - Valentine's Day is our favorite holiday! Trying to figure out the perfect gift this year? So are we. This year, as we try to do every few years, we decided to educate ourself on marriage. Taking a course, workshop or some other marital class should be on every married couple's to-do list at some point. These things take work, amirite? We couldn't possible list them all for you, but here are a few for our northern California peeps here below. A simple internet search or asking at your church might produce great results for everyone else! Challenge Day for Couples February 18-19, 2017 Concord, CA Gottman's Couples Workshop Multiple Weekends Mill Valley, CA John Grey's Healing Couples Retreat Multiple Dates Sonoma County, CA Getting the Love You Want workshop Multiple dates San Ramon, CA Note: We cannot vouch for any of these except Challenge Day, which we recommend wholeheartedly. Have suggestions for others? Feel free to share them here or on our FB page! To celebrate our upcoming favorite holiday, be on the lookout for our upcoming Amazon Countdown deal to download your copy of Be A Better Partner for Kindle for just 99 cents! The next deal begins the Monday before Valentine's Day in February - stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates!
Only 10 days left until our favorite holiday and we know just how difficult it is to find that perfect gift or bargain! Well, we have gobs of ideas in our book (of course) - but here are a few more to get you started:
Nothing says 'love' like FITNESS - want your partner to 'stick around' for along time? Keep him or her healthy with a pedometer like FitBit! Here's a little secret about FitBit that not everyone knows - if you lose your FitBit, they will replace it one time for FREE! What a great idea. Plus, the $99 models track your sleep, a nice feature. Not much of a health nut? Papa Murphy's sells heart-shaped pizza's over Valentine's! Loved one forget all those Important dates? Make a t-shirt or coffee mug with all the anniversaries, etc! Flowers & Chocolates Again? Of course, but mix it up this time - maybe some flowers you can PLANT this year or some chocolates from a Chocalatier instead of the local grocery store!! Whatever you do - it will be grand - just put some HEART into it!! xoxo Its another new year and we are excited to be gearing up for our favorite holiday yet again: Valentine's Day! If you are like us, happily married for many years, you realize one day that there are a LOT of holidays to celebrate with each other. At some point, we all run out of ideas after all the anniversaries, valentines days, birthdays, christmases, special occasions, etc. Fear not, we are here to help! We've included hundreds of ideas in our book - now available exclusively on Amazon for our digital version and on both Amazon and Lulu for our printed book. But, our website offers additional ideas also because we believe in sharing and kindness. February is the month we designated as "Surprise Me" month for obvious reasons. But, no matter how big or small the surprise is, its amazing how great it makes one feel to know someone else was thinking about him/her with loving thoughts. It can be a sticky note, a card, a flower, a lipstick heart on the mirror, an extra errand ran, or a big fat stuffed animal - whatever it is, its worth the effort once in a while to SURPRISE your partner more often. After all, who ever says they get TOO many surprises from their Spouse?! So, get going - what are you waiting for? Click here for Surprise Me Month ideas! There are so many great stories in the news today - like the couples trying to break the world record for the longest kiss in Thailand (at press time its down to 4 couples remaining). The current record is 32 hours! Also, there's a great story circulating on a recent study done that suggests our first kiss with our Partner was more memorable than our first sexual encounter. Turns out we remember that first kiss in much greater detail.
And with all the great valentine gift ideas, a favorite is one that outlines valentine gifts that give back. Feel free to post your links or suggestions for valentine stories here in our comments section! Happy Vday! Love love love!
