-We love marriage just as much as we love weddings. Take a moment to prepare not just for the wedding, but for the marriage-
For those of you reading this who were not once a 12 year old girl, BFF stands for Best Friends Forever and invokes feelings of cheesy teen movies and slumber parties. When I look past the corny associations of the phrase, I realize that I do have a BFF: my husband Paul. We share our secrets with each other, we spend lots of time together, we have fun together, we have deep conversations, we are the first ones to get a call when something interesting happens to the other, our lives are intertwined, no one knows more about him than me or about me than him – we are BFF. That is a good thing. Becoming best friends does not happen without investing time and energy into one another. And we make an effort to make sure that we stay best friends. We love going out for date nights. We make time to have real conversations. We play games and are silly together. We burst out into random song & dance while making breakfast. We spend time doing something the other really enjoys. We go for walks. We work together on life (not just business). We put our cellphones and other electronics away. In short, we invest in each other. Because having a friendship with your spouse is one of the greatest gifts you can have. What do you like to do to invest in your friendship with your fiance(e) or spouse? Share an idea below in the comment box AND share a link to this page on facebook and we will give one random commenter/sharer, who does so before the next MMM post (Monday, March 12th) a $20 Fandango giftcard – to go see a movie with your love! I cannot wait to hear your ideas and to try them out with Paul!!
