50 Ways to Make Your Marriage Rock

Some of you may already have a rockin’ marriage and if you do…..WAY TO GO! Others may feel like they have a good marriage but could use something to liven it up. We have experienced times of ho-hum, the times of plain chili without the spice. The acoustic guitar without the bass and drums….ok. you get the point.

Those are all good but sometimes you need to get that boat shakin a little to remind yourselves that this is life and we only get one day at a time. So I’ve asked my man to contribute to this post…..oh Lord, please help him to keep this PG rated…but yet get us to thinking about the love affair we have right in our own home!

You will find my top 25 and his 25 ways to make your marriage rock below. Note: Honey, remember your mother is a subscriber to my newsletter and I want to be able to face her without turning completely red. Love ya!
