ONE Extraordinary Marriage Show

Being thankful for your spouse and your marriage is something that you may or may not think about often. Each year we love to share what we are thankful for in our marriage and lives. It's a way for you to listen in, get ideas and then do this with your spouse. Really this should be done monthly and yet if not this is a great time to start. Share why you are thankful for your spouse. Grab a notepad and write down the reason. Share them face-to-face, on a note, or text one reason a day until you are finished. In this week's show Tony & Alisa share why it is important to share what you are thankful for with your spouse. Support ONE Extraordinary Marriage by shopping at Amazon.com.
