#MarriageChat Recap: Making My Marriage Stronger

Marriage

by  |  on October 27th, 2011  |  6 comments

Last night, we had our weekly Twitter party, #MarriageChat. The topic was “making my marriage stronger” and tweeters sounded off, letting us know what they do in their marriage to strengthen the marital bond. We got some great participation from veterans as well as newbies. We invite you to join us Wednesday evenings, 9pm-10pm EST. If you missed last night’s chat, here’s a recap of the conversation:


Q1: 1 way to strengthen your marriage is by having mentors. Do u have any online or offline? #marriagechat

    I made it! That's nice. I love marriage chat. I sometimes forget because I'm on the Central Standard time, and it's usually at dinner time for me.
