Marriage Monday is Coming!

Whoopee! W00t! WhooHoo! Wheeee!

(Select one ... I can't!)

We're about to embark in a new direction on Marriage Mondays. It's time to give more of the floor to you dear sister. If you're a regular around here you know that we've covered an amazing gamut of topics since the fall of 2007 when we first began writing together about marriage.

Having exhausted all my topic ideas (LOL) we're finally going to address yours. It's about time, eh? (My Canadian heritage slipping out there.)

21 Hot Buttons in Marriage

Some time ago, many of you answered the survey question on this post, "What's the Biggest Problem or Frustration in Your Marriage?" Your valuable feedback in the comment box—and by email—revealed a number of areas or "hot buttons" that married couples find particularly challenging.

And I have not forgotten. So for the next umteen months, we're going to be covering the subject matter as a group. I'll throw out a single word like trust, money, or communication, and that will be our topic, OK? You can title your post however you like.

Our Topic for March is "Trust"

Please accept my invitation to join us for Marriage Monday on March 7, 2011. Our group topic is trust.

As always, you have all the freedom you need to cover the subject of trust in whatever way you want. You can post prose, a bulleted list, a video,
a slideshow, a poem, or a song—whatever the Spirit leads you to share with us. You're the expert, and we're counting on you to teach us a few new things to apply to our own marriages.

Ladies, let's roll!

Would You Participate if Marriage Monday was
Bi-Monthly?

If I posted a linky every other week (see example here) would you link up? I'm willing to consider making Marriage Monday a bi-monthly meme. Let me know if that seems reasonable. Enthusiastically thanking you in advance for your feedback.

And waving, applauding, and blowing kisses!
