On marriage

Admittedly, the main reason I started this post is to share two articles that I've come across recently and feel are worth passing along. At the end of this month, Peleke and I will have been married two years. Even in two years (and with many stretches of time apart), I've learned a lot about Peleke, me, and marriage.

I'm lucky to have good role models in my parents, and he likewise with his. We're also both lucky to have peers in marriages worth emulating.

Anyway, the two articles I hope you'll take the time to read are as follows:
1. Dr. Manning from the blog Reflections of a Grady Doc gives a shameless plug for marriage.
2. Dr. Leap from the blog Edwin Leap points out the importance of levity when seeking out romance and intimacy as a married couple with kids in date night romance revisited.

From time to time I run across other worthwhile posts and may retroactively come add them to this post. Like Dr. Manning said, I think there are all kind of good reasons to be married, and sometimes we need to hear them again and from different perspectives.

After all, we get it on all sides from the naysayers!
