From the Desk of the President
"I'm a scrub
when it comes to Valentine's Day." That was my first thought when my team asked
me to write on marital strategies to seize the Valentine moment. Actually, I'm
not a scrub, but I'm sure not a superstar. Nor do I live up to my own
idealistic intentions to do amazing things for and with Stacy. When it comes to
romance, I'm more of a legend in my own mind, than I am in reality.

The Secret to An Incredible Valentine's Day
Due to the fast pace of modern life, many people
give little attention to Valentine's Day; some even consider it to be an
artificial holiday created by the makers of greeting cards. With Valentine's

"holiday burn out."
But what if Valentine's Day was upgraded from a
day of romance to a week of focusing on that special relationship in ordinary,
and extraordinary, ways? Here's how you can start today...

"7 Day Love Challenge." It's free! Go to www.7DayLoveChallenge.com.

How to Balance Your LOVE Life
Life is hard sometimes! No matter who you are, life takes
turns that are unexpected and challenging.
A lot of energy gets put into things like dealing with a move, a job
change, making ends meet, kids' challenges at school, and more. Not a lot of time is left for love.
We've all occasionally stopped long enough to realize
our marriages aren't where they ought to be...where we really want them to
be. The love quotient is low and
sometimes out of gas.
