I just wanted to give you some positive feedback about your 1000
Questions for Couples online course.  My finance and I met over the
internet about 10 years ago.  Last year we started speaking on the
phone and getting pretty close and I ran across your website.  I
decided to give the 1000 questions a try and it was well worth it!  🙂
I feel much more secure about knowing this man and that I am going to
spend the rest of my life with him.  I have now moved to where he
lives and happily planning my wedding.  Your questions bring up great
conversations and issues that need to be discussed.  I would recommend
your course to anyone that is willing to make the commitment.  Great
job!  🙂 – Lisa Topping

~~~  Contest     ~~~

I received hundreds of entries to last weeks contest to guess the
weight of our baby to be.  I am not accepting any more entries.  I
deliberately did not tell you that Ashton came in at 10 pounds (all
natural delivery).  They say the second one is often bigger!  I’ll let
you know.

The At Home Date stories from the contest two weeks ago are now posted
at: http://theromantic.com/stories/homedates/main.htm

This week’s contest is to pick a winner from the above entries.  You
can vote for up to three of your favorites.

Entries must be received by Monday.

From all who vote, one person will be chosen at random to win a trip

books, several board games including Romantic Sensations, An
Enchanting Evening and others, CDs, dance lessons and other fun stuff

Most store-bought flowers, chocolates and candy is far from
the ideal romantic gifts.

Here are 3 ideas that I think are very romantic.

Book Her!
by Michael Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com

Several years ago in celebration of our 75th (monthly) anniversary
with Athena, I decided to create a gift that would help us reflect
back on our first 6 and 1/4 years of marriage.

I came up with the idea of creating a coloring book for my wife.  I
took a sheet of paper and tried to write down the most significant,
memorable and happy experiences we had since we were married.  I even
took out our scrap books to make sure I wasn’t missing any major
events.  Once I had about 30 ideas I began sketching them on plain
white paper.  I admit I am not much of an artist but even stick
figures can get an idea across.

Once I completed doodling all the scenes with pencil, I traced over
them with a black felt-tip pen and wrote what the occasion was just in
case my drawing was so bad that she wouldn’t be able to decipher the
event.

Once all the sketches were complete I drew a cover and then took them
to a copy store and had all the pages duplicated onto heavy paper and
then bound.

I gave it with a pack of crayons and she said it was the best gift I
had ever given her.  We still color in it from time to time to relive
the memories.
