We sat around the fire after a sweet time of fellowship and prayer. My favorite people and dearest of friends; each of us with our hopes and dreams and fears. We place our hope in Christ, hopes for our children, ourselves and our marriage.

Somehow the conversation turns toward more intimate details of our marriages and we laugh and encourage each other.

How do you keep your marriage steamy and romantic and wonderful? After 15 plus years of marriage, kids, weariness, what makes marriage better?

A friend gives us a challenge. At first we think she’s joking because, well, her challenge was this: Get intimate with your husband for 30 days.
