Marriage and Intimacy Tips for Christian Couples: Secrets of Happily Ever After

In one of my favorite interviews of all time, I chatted with Ben Higgens through the computer just like we were old friends. He had the flu, so his voice is a little raspy, but it totally worked for him. He talked about his life after the Bachelor, his new flame, Jessica, turning 30, his businesses and humanitarian work. Ben is busy doing wonderful things in the world and we couldn’t be happier for his successes.He agreed to come visit Idaho for a watch party, so plan on that, Ladies! He loved my vision for Just Do Some Good and now I’m fired up about it. His main charity is called Humanity and Hope United and I’m super grateful for all the good he is doing. Keep posting about service! You can connect with Ben on Instagram @higgens.ben or email him from his profile. That’s how I connected with him and it totally paid off. You can also listen to his podcast with Ashley I. called the Almost Famous Podcast on any podcast listening app.Please don’t forget about the Holiday House Boutique this weekend, April 11th-13th.
