We had a very clear understanding of these things before we walked down the isle and it has helped tremendously !! Expectations WILL change over the years, but communication is key there!

This is so great to create rituals/traditions in a family. It too will make discussing those great topics from church a lot more like fun and not so much like homework. I am so happy to hear your idea. We too will have to try that as we are Saturday night attenders. We go to WBL where do you attend! Trent Anderson Grace Pastor WBL. Way to go Sara and family!

We've recently begun a new Saturday church tradition in our home. Instead of attending Sunday morning service, we attend the 4:00 service and then return home for pancakes and discussion about the message. Our kids really enjoy the novelty of having pancakes on Saturday evening, and they've grown to enjoy and look forward to this weekly ritual.

Jenny and I are finding that we really need to be intentional about family time and especially couple time. We have already had to make a few hard decision for this fall so that we do not trap ourselves into a schedule that will eat us alive. Greg,

Great advice. Jenny and I are finding that we really need to be intentional about family time and especially couple time. We have already had to make a few hard decision for this fall so that we do not trap ourselves into a schedule that will eat us alive.
