Valentine’s Day is one of my very favorite holidays! It’s a wonderful opportunity to make sure your sweetheart knows how much you love them, and to create a fun family tradition for your children as well. I hope you all will make Valentine’s Day a special day for showing your love!

Valentine’s Chocolate Nuggets Labels

I’m so glad I learned about this wonderful blog “Love Actually” that has tons of great romantic ideas to keep the spark alive in your marriage. It provided a perfect, fun idea for me to add to our romantic Valentine’s Day festivities this year!

Happy 50th Anniversary! — Morris and Elaine Bastian

It isn’t everyday that a couple reaches that fabulous milestone of 50 years of marriage. My good friends, Morris and Elaine Bastian, have successfully done just that!

Morris and Elaine Bastian have been great supporters of my efforts through the years to help strengthen marriages. In fact, Morris Bastian was one of the editors of my book And They Were Not Ashamed — Strengthening Marriage through Sexual Fulfillment.

The following is a little bit about the Bastians, and some of their suggestions for building a strong and happy marriage to last throughout the years.????? Continue reading “Celebrating 50 Years of Marriage” »

Famous Family Nights — New Book-Contribution

July 16th, 2009 by Laura M. Brotherson

famous-family-nights-book-200pix.jpgSome time ago the author of the upcoming book Famous Family Nights asked me to write a little bit about Family Home Evenings (FHE) in our home to be featured in a book with other “famous” LDS personalities. (I think she’s stretching the “famous” thing just a bit! : ) Famous Family Nights is now available on our Strengthening Marriage Online Store. I’m sure it will provide many ideas and insights into making family nights even more enjoyable and valuable for the whole family. But most of all I think it will relieve everyone to see that FHE can be a challenge sometimes for anyone! Continue reading “Famous Family Nights — New Book-Contribution” »

Daddywork — A Great Aphrodisiac for Wives

June 13th, 2008 by Laura M. Brotherson

1999-img022-400pix.jpgIt’s hard to find many things sexier than a daddy who loves his kids. They say men doing housework is a great aphrodisiac for women, but I think “daddywork” is way up there on the list as well. Roses and chocolates and romantic candle-lit dinners have their place for stirring the heart, but it’s hard to beat the feeling that comes from seeing your husband play with the kids, or help them with homework, or teach them something, or tuck them in at night. Now that’s a turn on!
