I have been thinking about my marriage lately. My husband and I have been married for 11 years and in this season of our marriage, we are more in love with each other than we ever have been. My husband and I dated for 3 months, got engaged and married 3 months later. We attended the same church at the time and I was more acquainted with his father, mother and sister than I was with him; I only knew of him. I remember receiving a voice-mail from him on my answer machine (remember those) one Sunday when I got home from church, asking me if he could take my daughter and I out for dinner. I was really impressed by his thoughtfulness towards my daughter. But, because I really didn't know him at the time, I didn't bring my daughter along. Ladies, side-bar... don't introduce your children to every guy that asks you out until you are sure he's the one and you both are ready to make a commitment. Our first date was nice and different. He was a gentleman from beginning
