The launch!

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the beginning of what I feel is going to be a very good thing. I am so excited about starting this blog. About 4 months ago, I had this vision and idea to begin a website where I could utilize my passion...helping marriages! My hubs, Steve and I were talking it over, and he came up with the name "Little Wifey", which I fell in love with instantly. So, I got to work trying to pull together a virtual spot for people to chat about their lives, particularly their marriage, get some helpful tips and information to help them, and find some resources that might be helpful...all with the goal and hope of promoting healthy, successful, happy, and fun marriages.

Well, it turns out web design was a bit more challenging than I had hoped. After spending the last 3 months trying to figure out Dreamweaver, I decided I was in over my head. I really just wanted to get going with this project but seemed to have hit a brick wall. So, I have decided to start simple - create a blog. Here I am :) I am still working behind the scenes on putting together a complete website though where I can have all the information, resources, etc. that I ultimately wanted to have, but that might take me a little while.

I want to kick off this blog by saying that marriage is a gift from God (yes, I am a Jesus follower for those who don't know it, so be prepared for that point of view)! It really is so special and provides us with such a unique opportunity to share life with in ways we can't really share with just anyone. It's challenging at times, very challenging at other times, but I believe it's ALWAYS worth it. It's really difficult because of the general negative view of marriage these days, the more stressful and demanding lives we generally lead, and just the constant opportunity to put so much else above our marriages. That will be a whole discussion at some point, but for now I just want you all to know as my readers, that I truly believe with every fiber of my being, that marriage, when done "right", is the greatest gift we have on Earth.

So, if you will open your hearts, minds, and mouths (well hands really, since it's typing...haha), I think we can be the 1 out of every 2 marriages that makes it...and sets a new standard for marriage! Thank you so much for joining me...I really look forward to all the days ahead!
