Happy Feast Day, Honey!
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Saturday, October 18, 2008
Five years ago, after seventeen years of marriage, I had the joy of watching my husband Greg be received into the Catholic Church through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
When Greg was confirmed, he took as his patron saint St. Luke, the Evangelist and patron saint of physicians. Greg’s devotion to St. Luke seemed fitting, since he is an emergency medicine physician. Today, we... READ MORE
The Scene of the Sacrament
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Marriage on Wednesday, October 08, 2008
Part of the joy of visiting Notre Dame this weekend was visiting the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University.
On May 31, 1986, I walked down the aisle of this magnificent church, escorted by my parents on either side, and married the love of my life. The Basilica is the church every bride dreams of for her wedding. Stunningly beautiful, the Basilica is the spiritual center of the campus... READ MORE
Talking About Not Talking

This weekend, my online buddy Deborah posted a link to a CNN article with the thought provoking comment “To save your marriage—shut up”.
The link in question led to this article at CNN.com, a reprint of an article that originally appeared in O, The Oprah Magazine. Given, last week’s discussion on Danielle’s post about Oprah, I considered steering clear of the debate but couldn’t resist checking out... READ MORE
Fireproof Newsflash!
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Saturday, September 27, 2008
I just received an email with the great news that Fireproof was the number 3 American movie at the box office yesterday!! This is in direct response to all of you out there who not only went out to see the movie, but also to those who have helped to spread the word about this great family film.
If you haven’t had a chance to see Fireproof yet, please consider making time tonight or tomorrow to go out and enjoy the film during opening weekend. Together, we can send a message to Hollywood that we want these types of films in our theaters. Click here for more information on Fireproof or here to find it playing at a theater near you.
Date Night Movie
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Wednesday, September 24, 2008
In just a few short days, we have the perfect opportunity to send Hollywood a message that you and I are ready and willing to support a certain type of movie.
It’s not the latest blockbuster, or an R rated romp, but rather a nice, clean movie with a solid message. It only has one “name” star - and some of us had a crush on him in the 80’s.
No one gets killed, no aliens land on earth, and no one uses... READ MORE
Investing in Our Marriage
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Marriage on Tuesday, September 23, 2008
One of the best things my husband and I do for our marriage is put our daughter to bed every night.
I know many couples swear by a regular date night, where they can get out of the house and be just the two of them again. Bryan and I do occasionally leave Camilla and go out for dinner, but for the most part we prefer the privacy and comfort of our own home.
Night after night we put Camilla to bed... READ MORE
More on Marrying Young
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Marriage on Thursday, September 04, 2008
Needless to say, I’ve been following the comments on Rebecca’s post from earlier this week with much interest. I don’t have much to add to the arguments - I think Rebecca’s elegant thinking and concise writing have covered pretty much everything I’d say on the topic - but because I have had the experience of marrying at an age that this culture considers very young, I’d like to share my story, just...

In Defense Of Marrying Young—Updated
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Marriage on Tuesday, September 02, 2008
Bristol Palin’s unwed pregnancy is not so unusual these days, but her solution—marriage—is. Mounting their hobby horse, the usual suspects have seized on her situation as evidence that abstinence education doesn’t work. Rather a leap of logic, that, since no matter what values her parents tried to instill, we don’t know what education she received at school.
Be that as it may, I want to ride that... READ MORE
