I should be doing better than this.

Ironically, I've sent THOUSANDS (probably millions, no exaggeration) of emails for other people to their email communities.

Since I wrote Husband On Purpose, I've worked at two agencies with HUNDREDS of clients that I've written emails for. And have had my own clients on the side.

So I've written and sent A LOT of emails over the years.

But for whatever reason, I put a lot of pressure on myself when I get ready to send to you, my own email community.

I have more emails drafted than there are husbands who forgot today was Valentine's Day...

Speaking of which...

IF you and your spouse celebrate Valentine's, Happy Valentine's Day!

If not, that's cool too.

I ran into a couple I know in the store, and Valentine's came up.
The husband said, "We don't celebrate Valentine's."

The wife's facial expression said that that wasn't a mutual decision.

Jennifer and I sometimes celebrate. Some years we don't.
So, I have no judgment either way.

Just saying - it may be a discussion you want to have with each other if you haven't.

And just because you have or haven't celebrated in the past doesn't mean that's exactly how your spouse feels today.

Keep the lines of communication open.

Back in February 2023, Jennifer and I led a workshop for a group of Christian couples that we called "Beyond Valentine's: Celebrating Your Love All Year Long"

I took our notes and the transcript from our workshop and started turning it into an ebook/guide.

We cover:

✔ Why love should be celebrated year-round – and why most couples get this wrong.
✔ How small, consistent actions matter more than big, one-time gestures.​
✔ The FIRM Framework – a simple, practical way to keep your marriage strong.
✔ Creative ways to connect daily, weekly, and monthly – even when life gets busy.
✔ How to make date nights work without spending a fortune.​
✔ 30 quick, actionable tips for reconnecting, rekindling intimacy, and reigniting passion in your marriage.
✔ A 30-day challenge to help you turn good intentions into real action.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about consistently showing love beyond one day on the calendar.

Hope your weekend is great!

P.S. It's my birthday weekend and also the one year anniversary of my final grandmother passing away, me losing my favorite job ever, and having a life threatening medical emergency all within 30 days last year. I'm in that weird mourn-and-celebrate phase this weekend. If you pray, please keep me in your prayers this weekend.

My grandmother consistently repeated six words to me over the 14 years she lived while I was married. I shared them here: "Y'all ____ care __ ____ other."
If you take it to heart, it's solid advice this weekend and for the rest of your marriage.
