I decided to revisit some audio recordings from the podcast when my husband and I celebrated 28 years of marriage. Fast forward seven years, and we've been married for 35 years! Join me as I reflect on what I shared back then and see how my views have evolved over time.
Marriage is an adventurous journey, and I'm excited to discuss what has kept our relationship thriving. We'll explore the three "C's" of a classic marriage, based on my experience: Connection, Covenant, and Communication. Whether you're happily married, feeling a bit stuck, or just curious, there's something valuable in this episode for everyone.
But that's not all! To make this episode even more special, I’m bringing back the free, printable resources inspired by the wedding season when our two boys got married. (I had shared them with the original episode.) Whether you're planning a wedding, hosting a shower, or just love party planning, these printables are yours to download and enjoy.
Classic Marriage Book
The Freebies
I am not a shower game person at all! I would skip it if it could. I know. Call me a scrooge of wedding showers. But, I know, a shower without games just doesn’t feel like a shower. So with the help of my daughter-in-law who was happy to be getting her first sister soon, we put together a few games from both old and new ideas. These are all free for download right here. All I ask is that you not share them on any other websites, outside of linking to this post to share the freebies with your friends.
What’s in Your Purse? This is a fun game where you get points for the junk in your purse.
What's in Your Purse? Game Download
How Good Is Your Memory? This is a game with household objects that we played at wedding showers back in the days when I got married. This free download has instructions on the second page. Print page one for your guests and print yourself one copy of page two for the directions.
Wedding Quiz. A fun game to see how well you know the bride and groom. Print a copy of the page for each person. Have the bride fill one out and her answers will provide the answer key for the game.
Guessing Game. This printable has slips that you can cut apart for a guessing game. Fill a jar with chocolate kisses or other candy and let guests put in 1-3 guesses of how many are in it. We had a smaller crowd, so we let everyone guess three times [so the basket of slips wouldn't look so empty 🙂].
If you’ve read this far, please join me in honoring how young we looked in 2019. Sigh. Midlife has a way of keeping us humble about reality. :-)
I’m also uncertain about the likelihood that I’ll be playing any games called “How Good Is Your Memory?” any time soon.
