False Advertising
This was just too funny. I was looking on Amazon for a Star Wars poster to put up in my den and came upon the one on the wall in the picture below. The implication is that if you buy a huge Star Wars poster on Amazon, you'll get the women! I hope no one believes that that's a certainty. Karen, my wife, doesn't like Star Wars so, first of all, I wouldn't even ask to put that poster in our living room. Second, the idea that the woman would want to face the Star Wars poster while laying on the couch is hilarious. Third, and finally, is she smiling because she's looking up at Ewan McGregor in the poster or because she is happy to be with the dude with whom she's laying on the couch. Does it matter?

Just Quit Trying! - The answer to your marriage!
In a movie or in a TV show, Jim said to Charlie that Jim doesn't trust anyone who acts as though they have it "all figured out."
At this precise moment, I can't recall what movie or TV show Jim said that to Charlie - and I doubt that the two characters were named Jim and Charlie - I just needed a clever way to name two characters so that I could quote a movie or TV show that I can't recall the name of.
I could post it to Facebook to see if anyone else has seen whatever movie or TV show I'm thinking of... Hmmm.
Anyways, I mention this movie or TV show because when I read the subject of the email I received (and have pasted below), I immediately thought about those two characters because proclaiming to have "the answer to your marriage" is silly. The authors of the email below do not know every couple to whom they sent the email so to presume to have the answer is, well, off-putting and egotistical.
That was my initial impression anyways when I read the subject. It did prompt me to read the entire email so I grant the authors with an A for writing a compelling subject for their email.

That may sound like a contradiction or maybe an error in the message. But it isn’t. Couples spend years “Trying” often with little or no success. So many couples are worn out from the effort to create a passionate, dynamic and loving marriage – and give up because they don’t get anywhere.
So we say, QUIT TRYING.
Or better yet, STOP TRYING THE SAME OLD THINGS THAT GET YOU NOWHERE.
When John approached us, he had all but given up. He was now in a sexless marriage, with little open communication or affection.
As a married couple, both Angela and John had given their marriage a lot of attention. But over the past 5 years, of an 11-year relationship, they were exhausted and now believed they could never have more.
The pain and hurt they experienced from each failed attempt, left them hopeless.
Have you felt that way – that a great marriage with love, passionate sex and affection, was unattainable?
That is simply not true.
But when you try over and over again, with the same efforts as before, and never move ahead, something is wrong with the process you’ve been in. That process included 3 different marriage counselors over the past 5 years.
Let me make it clear – we all have beliefs and life experiences that teach us lessons in living. But most don’t teach us how to truly love one another.
When we got on the phone with John, he made it clear – he didn’t want another failed attempt. We got his wife Angela on the phone – she sounded so frustrated. Here’s the kicker – they both loved each other but couldn’t get a feeling of being “In love” no matter how hard they tried.
We walked both of them through the possibilities – HUGE POSSIBILITIES. We explained how the right steps, focusing on re-working old belief tables and mindsets, would unlock the dark place they lived in and would move them to a passionate, exciting life together.
They were both willing to try – reluctantly – but willing. What shocked them was the progress they made in just 3 to 4 weeks. Sex returned. Empathy returned. Getaways were planned.
John said, “I can’t believe it, but I’m falling back in love with Angela all over again.”
Angela told us, “I look forward to time together and having sex – I can’t believe it.”
The right process means results.
AND RESULTS YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT.
You too can have a great marriage, filled with all the excitement and deep connection you’ve always wanted.
But you have to say yes and take action. You’ve been trying same old things – resulting in the same stuck place and lack of change – real change.
Let me say that again – YOU HAVE TO SAY YES. Whatever fears and hopeless feelings you have, DON’T LET THEM STOP YOU FROM TAKING ACTION.
We know the exact steps you need to take to get there – the exact steps to create the life and the marriage you long for. We have the steps to
REVOLUTIONIZE your marriage.
So take a life-changing stand. Stop trying the same things all over again.

Purpose of Marriage is Two-Fold and many more folds
The tagline for this article - 7 Things the Easter Story Teaches Us About Marriage - is The purpose of your marriage is to reflect the fullness of God in an increasingly empty world.
As long as that is not the only purpose of marriage, I can agree with that idea.
I have come to believe that the purpose of marriage is to help your spouse get to heaven through your actions and words.

I Do Every Day: Roses are red, dishes are dirty
Yesterday, I sent these roses to Karen.
The following was in my Inbox today.
I don't know what Lisa Lakey is talking about in this article. I don't know why she would accept doing a regular household task as a VD gift when she writes this:
The following was in my Inbox today.
I Do Every Day: Roses are red, dishes are dirty
By Lisa Lakey
Ah, Valentine’s Day. Twenty-four hours of romance, red roses, candlelight, and love, right?
Maybe. Honestly, I don’t know the last time my husband sent me a dozen red roses.
I’m not saying he’s not romantic. The man has his moments.
But to be completely honest, we both feel Valentine’s Day comes far too soon after the big holiday season. Seriously. I’ve barely given up on New Year’s resolutions.
But before you think I’m going to give you an out on Valentine’s Day, think again. Do the dinner, buy the roses if that’s your thing (or your spouse’s). A reminder of your love is never a bad thing.
But …
Can we all just agree Valentine’s Day is not the be-all, end-all, final judgment on the romance level of your marriage?
If your wife forgets to get you a card, but shows you how special you are in a hundred little ways the rest of the year, is it really that big of a deal? Probably not.
If your husband fails to send the dang roses yet he is a faithful, loving husband the other 364 days of the year, is it really cause for the cold shoulder?
Last night, my husband gave me the gift of clean dishes. I was exhausted and still finishing a work assignment after the kids went to bed. He had worked a 12-hour shift, and knowing I still had a to-do list to complete, he put the remains of dinner away and loaded the dishwasher without a word.
So if I wake up on Valentine’s Day to find my husband has already left for work, yet put my favorite mug by the coffee maker with a fresh K-cup ready to go? I’ll take it.
Romance isn’t one day a year. It’s mutual love and respect regardless of what day is on the calendar.
Besides, I’ll take coffee and clean dishes in favor of overpriced roses any day.
