  10. Four Handlebars for Maximum Parenting A. Hold onto the goal. • Pointing our children to God. • Praying that they will go there.

  16. Show me a man and woman who have children and I will show you a man and a woman who need more than ever to nurture their relationship to ensure it thrives and grows. There’s something about romance that’s intensely personal. It all gets started when two people look at each other and feel something powerful happening inside themselves. They sit down with each other and begin to share their thoughts and feelings. They talk about their dreams and their goals, their values, their beliefs, their hopes, and their fears.

  17. There are few, if any, happily married persons I’ve interviewed who can get what they need from one another without engaging in this very personal, but direct process, on a regular basis. Sometimes men, who spend tremendous energy in their careers, want their wives to feel their love on the basis of “how hard I am working for both of us.” It doesn’t work like this. And sometimes women, who give passionately to their children, want their husbands to see “how much I obviously

  18. love you because of how much I am giving to our kids.” It doesn’t work this way either. Romance requires personal, direct, face to face time. There is never a time when two people can keep their love growing and prospering without plenty of energy spent relating to each other individually and intimately. This is why I encourage people who have children to schedule time for romance. Work it in ... at least once a week. Neil Warren Triumphant Marriage
