With the long Minnesota winters comes ample time for reading...or Hulu/Internet browsing. Unfortunately for the first few months my down-time was devoted to the latter but recently my desire to curl up with a good book has been rekindled.
I used to read only one book at a time but when the reads are non-fiction books offering advice and direction on marriage, engagement, finances and personal training..they can only be seeped up in small doses.
Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas. I've been hogging this one myself so Bryan hasn't even gotten to Chapter 1 but it is a wonderful picture of what a marriage could and should look like.
Everlasting Love (I can't remember the author and Bryan has the book). This shorter book was recommended by our premarital counseling class. It offers excellent insight and good points for discussion.
Financial Peace by Dave Ramsey. As many marrying couples, we have some debt to take care of. After starting the financial peace class and digging into what Mr. Ramsey has to say, we feel that we are on the right track!
Fitness Training for Professionals. This is an old textbook from school but I feel like I could use a refresher. With the possibility of getting ACSM certified in the near future, I decided that it couldn't be too early to start studying!
There you have it! Next in line The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. After vowing to give up Hulu and get on Facebook only once a day, I have been able to take advantage of my snowy afternoon with some good reading. Unfortunately with 36 hours of snow projected for the Sunday-Monday, it if perfect weather as well :)
