Welcome to Marriage Monday!



Today's Topic: Girl Talk
Written by e-Mom. Follow me on Twitter

Welcome to the Marriage Monday monthly meme. Today's topic is "Girl Talk: Mothers & Daughters Talk About Love." I'm really excited to read your thoughts!

If you happen to be a single Christian Mom, you're welcome to contribute today too. And don't feel left out if your brood consists of all boys. Please jot down your relationship advice to sons in the comments on my personal entry directly below this one. (Please scroll down.)

Marriage Monday in October

Mark your calendar now! We'll meet here at Chrysalis for Marriage Monday once again on Monday October 5, 2009.

Poll: Vote for October's Topic

Our general topic for October is "love behind closed doors." Let's be bold and explore a hidden, less obvious aspect of marriage together. Your interpretation of this challenging subject is completely up to you. Please vote for your preferred angle/title.



NEW! Let’s Connect on Facebook

If you’re a member of the Marriage Monday blogroll (see below), and you would like to connect on Facebook, please accept my invitation to be “friends.” Search for
“e-Mom Chrysalis” and I’ll accept your friend request ASAP. Thanks!

Information for Newcomers

If you're brand new to Chrysalis, allow me cover some of the basics. We usually meet the first Monday of the month. However, we're meeting one week earlier this month in order to avoid Labor Day vacation conflicts (US & Canada).

How to Participate

Here's your opportunity to jump in and share your parenting wisdom. Power up your laptop, post your thoughts on today's topic, then come back here and leave your permalink in Mister Linky. After you've done that, take some time to visit a few of the other contributors. You can return in a day or two and visit additional linkers if you wish.

Make New Friends

Everyone loves comments, so please be generous and sprinkle your remarks around as you visit blogs. I guarantee you'll make some new blogging friends, and perhaps connect with a few old ones too. You may be suprised to learn that the Marriage Monday community is a very diverse group of joyful Christian women. We are old, young, seasoned, newlywed, remarried and spiritually unequal.

Suggestions for Writing Your Post

If you run in to "blogger's block" and find you're at a total loss for words, consider jump-starting your writing by expanding on one or more of the following ideas:


• What are you teaching your daughter about love and marriage?
• What was your mother’s best marriage advice to you?
• What valuable truths have been passed on to you by your mother-in-law?
• Where can daughters go for
relationship counsel when Mom is unavailable?

Please feel free to share your thoughts in any format you wish. Prose is common, but you could create a photo essay, or a song, a video, or poem. You have every freedom to create a post that you know would be speak to your regular readers, as well as be interesting to our Marriage Monday community.

Leave Your Permalink

You can add your post's permalink to Mister Linky (below) any time between Aug 31-Sept 2, 2009.

What's a permalink? A clear explanation can be found here.

Marriage Monday Blogroll

The complete Marriage Monday '09 Blogroll is here.
I hired Mary Poppins to run her feather duster over the blogroll, and she's informed me that all the links are current now. If you've been overlooked, or you would like to be added to the blogroll, it's easy to join. Follow these simple steps, and voila you're on!

1. Copy the button code and post it in your sidebar
2. Email me at: marriagemonday [at] gmail [dot] com
3. Include your name, your email address, your blog's name, and your blog's URL

In case you're wondering: you do not have to contribute to the meme to be a member of the blogroll. That means
you can be a silent reader if you want. I also know a few sisters who simply prefer to visit other bloggers on Marriage Mondays and leave their uplifting comments. That's quite alright!

Thanks for stopping by today. Bless you!

e-Mom,
I always love to be part of this tradition of Marriage Monday. I especially had a great time thinking about all the hilarious, fun and serios conversations I have had about marriage with my daughter.

Too much fun. Will be back later to read a few post for the other participants. Can't wait.

Have a great week. I love you my friend, Hugs, Lynn
