Facebook and Your Marriage

Family blogger Trey Morgan, of treymorgan.net posted 10 Facebook Rules for Married Couples a couple of days ago. It's a very interesting list, and I would definitely second everything he had to say. It's definitely worth checking out.

So how well to you behave on Facebook as a husband? Respectable? Honorable? Are you flirting with disaster or do you use it to flirt with your wife (which is a great way to show public affection). Do you vent to those who don't need to know about your dirty laundry? One of my friends on Facebook is a distant relative who constantly berates her husband for being lazy, not being around, or just not being helpful. True? Maybe. But does it need to be out there for all to see? Definitely not. Talk to your spouse—not to the rest of the world—about your issues.

So which of Trey's top ten stood out to you as most important? I think mine is Number 8: Don't be afraid to proclaim your love for your spouse on Facebook. I love doing that!

How Will Your Marriage Be Different In 2010?

Whether we voice our resolutions or not, I think it's safe to say we all have hopes and dreams for the new year. We want things to improve, we want things to be better.

My question for us all today is, How will your marriage be different in the new year? How is it going to get better? How can you be a better husband or father? Has their been a growing distance between you and your wife? How can you become close again. We must be intentional about our marriages or they're going to die of neglect.

Last year I told you about an interesting couple's spin on New Year's resolutions. Could you do it? Can you learn how to show that you love your wife every day? Here's an idea: How about reading books together? (Maybe even sex books?)

You are husband. You can do it. Fight for your marriage. Fight for your family. Dream big and make 2010 the year you fell in love with your marriage.
