A Valentine’s Gift for Yourself

By February 11, 2013No Comments

Sweet Blog Friends,

I don’t often endorse events – or even suggest them, for that matter– but the free event below will be well worth your time. In fact, you can consider it a Valentine’s gift to yourself! Marnie Swedberg has become an online friend.  Her organization is one that represents me as a Christian Women’s Speaker and this Thursday she’s hosting a FREE (one of my favorite words!) online conference to help us married gals strengthen our marriages.  She’ll have some well known experts on marriage who’ll share stuff too good to miss. Check it out at www.WifeSOS.com.

A note from Marnie…

“Did you know that statistics show that two-thirds of divorces are initiated by women, and according to a New Woman’s Day and AOL Living poll, 75% of women surveyed have considered leaving their husbands at some point? There is no greater gift a wife can give to her husband or herself this Valentine’s Day than her determined, intentional, proactive commitment to making their marriage the best mutual gift it can be.”

In the United States, over 50% of first marriages, 67% of second marriages, and nearly 74% of third marriages end in divorce. In addition, the economy has caused financial strain in many homes and CNN reports that these financial pressures are the biggest stresses on marriages in the past sixty years.

That’s why wives everywhere are encouraged to participate in the Valentine’s Day Training Extravaganza on February 14, to deliberately, energetically, and positively fight for their marriages. During the four hour online event, guests will be invited to renew their marriage commitment, re-ignite their marital passion, and re-dedicate themselves to a life-long marriage of true love.

“Living with and loving the man you’ve got is often a wife’s greatest challenge in life, but also her greatest gift,” says Swedberg, who herself has been married for thirty years. She and her husband have lived through fires, floods, a tornado, car wrecks, a sinking boat, a head injury in the family, business and financial set-backs, and much more. But they are still enjoying each other and committed to making their marriage work. Swedberg wants to help all wives strengthen their marriages by sponsoring this Valentine’s Day event.

The public is invited to attend the online event at www.WifeSOS.com. The following presenters will offer the gift of their experience: Pam Farrel (author of Men Are Life Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti and twenty-five other relationship books), Vicki Tiede (author of When Your Husband is Addicted to Pornography), Kathi Lipp (author of The Husband Project), and Sheila Gregoire (author of The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex). Additionally, there will be worship and more.

Your marriage matters! Give yourself and your spouse the best Valentine’s Gift ever by investing in your marriage, your happiness, and your emotional health by attending the online Wife SOS Training Extravaganza at www.WifeSOS.com, and invite your friends!”
