Engaged Marriage-A Blog Review

Posted by Blogcgbnjjfdhjkkrs


There are many blogs online that can be found on marriage, but very few besides our blog, caught my eye as much as a blog called Engaged Marriage.  Don’t stay married, stay engaged, was the main theme of this blog.  What a wonderful reminder it was that post marriage life can be just as exciting and meaningful as it was before you got married.  I was impressed to see that the blog was written and maintained by a young married couple, Dustin, and his wife bethany.  It was clear to tell that they were making their own efforts to strengthen their own marriage, and thoroughly enjoyed sharing what they have learned.  I feel that knowing they have a real desire to help others strengthen their marriages really encourages me to apply what they shares in order to enrich and apply my own learning experience.  

The format of the blog filled most of the screen, allowing for a more of an open feeling while reading; and readers’ comments were readily exposed below the posts.  A few of the main subjects of this blog, were: money, communication, and even natural family planning (which I thought was interesting).  Some of the popular posts included articles, such as: “Romance for Insanely Busy Couples,” “How to Get Your Spouse to Talk to You: 7 Tips for Engagement”, and “Family Time: Be an All-Star Parent”.  The content I read in many of these posts was visually engaging.  Many places to click on similar topics were readily available if I wanted to expound my learning after reading a particular post.

In continuing to navigate this blog, I saw that they directed their comments, stories, and lessons to those who want to learn about, improve, and sustain a good marriage.  Many articles were also geared toward life after children.  Married couples of any age and particular stage of their marriage will find many ways to strengthen their marriage.  There was even a section on preparing for marriage, which was very beneficial for me to look in to!
    

To add on what was mentioned above, the posts contained helpful and well-written advice that came from books, researchers, and personal experience.  Following some of the posts including research, stories, book references, etc. They stated the author, their background, and where the information was retrieved. I love the fact that along with many of the references, They encouraged you to “check out” more information and material from the author whose information he shared.  Funny thing was, a lot of their stories and messages ‘just made sense’ to me.  Even without a whole lot of emphasis on research, I felt I was reading valuable information that I could take with me in preparing and experiencing a happy healthy marriage.  

 I enjoyed this blog, I hope you take the chance to check it out!

    I think this blog is a great concept. Most of my engagement was done online because we were living in different countries at the time.I recently decided to write more letters to my spouse because it reminded me of when we were engaged. Looks like it has some useful ideas
