Marriage Puzzle

Juli & Thomas Hobbywww.marriagepuzzle.com

Marriage is a lot like putting together a brand new puzzle. You see the picture on the box and think "I can do that!" or "That would be fun to put together." But once you open the box you realize how much work is involved in turning over all the pieces, finding the edges and what fits in the middle. In marriage, you are constantly turning over new pieces to find out where they go. We'll be talking about our marriage in an attempt to pass along any wisdom we can to others. We hope you'll join us on the journey where together we'll work on marriage, one puzzle piece at a time.
