When it comes to building a strong marriage, however, creativity is more important than cost. Regularity is more life-giving than one time extravaganzas. It is in this spirit that I share…

Just a few years later it included potty training charts, finger paintings and ABC magnets. In that same time my task list went from a little post-it note to a…
