Marriage Matters: Intentionally Growing Intimacy

Several years ago, Lora and I wrote a book called The 50 Fridays Marriage Challenge. Our dream for the book was pretty simple: what if couples intentionally invested in growing intimacy in their marriage by having one weekly conversation for a year? It’s so easy to get busy with work, kids, hobbies, extended family and other good things, that we can fail to intentionally invest in each other.

Invest Earlier. Invest Intentionally.

Someone recently asked me why Lora and I host marriage retreats, classes and groups. My immediate answer was, "Because we want to encourage couples to intentionally invest in growing intimate marriages." Later, I thought about my response to my friend's question and, while it was a good and true answer, there's even a deeper reason why we host marriage enrichment events.
