This Blog site was the beginning of our marriage blog. Our hearts are tenderized to the dilemma’s of marriages. We had a good marriage – so we thought, then saw it tragically end in divorce, but we miraculously forgave each other, reconciled and remarried. We think we can help other couples who are OPEN to suggestions.
We have 27 “chapters” of various real life events to help guide couples. We are trying to be transparent while we share our struggles and hopefully, use a little humor to lighten it up. But our main source of marital bliss is found in the Bible. We believe marriage was created and designed by our Lord and Savior. So you will read meaningful scriptures throughout our blog.
In August 2013, our world was blessed, by the birth of our first grandchild. Long story short, we bought a recreational vehicle, a 5th wheel, and began traveling from our home in Florida to see our grandson in Virginia. We discovered we loved traveling and within a year sold everything and became full-time travelers, eventually buying a motor home. This blog then transformed into our Travel-blog! Eventually we settled back down in a sticks and bricks house – in Myrtle Beach. I need to rethink the purpose of our blog. In the meantime, Click here for the best of the best of our travel blog.
