It will sneak up on you WAY FASTER than you could ever imagine! (Can I get a witness from all the old farts out there?)<br /><br />In this week's episode, Brian and Jamie talk about how quickly Brian arrived at this milestone birthday, and what he has to show for it.  They talk about how time flies, faster even than the cliche', and how important it is to set your priorities based on your highest values, and relentlessly pursue a life devoted to those priorities.  For Brian and Jamie, it's all about family, and their 36 year marriage (and counting) is the foundational backbone upon which their legacy is being built.  They wouldn't trade it for anything.  <br /><br />They talk about his surprise in Broken Bow, and the binder full of love letters from family and dear friends - the best present he could ever receive.  <br /><br />Thank you all for making this old fart feel really special!  So, sit back, take some Geritol, gum some apple sauce, and enjoy this episode before your 8:30 pm bedtime!<br /><br /><br />We would love to hear from you - drop us a comment, or email us, and remember to share this podcast. <br /><br /><b>A huge thank you to our supporters!  As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of our listeners, so if you have been positively impacted by this podcast or our ministry, would you consider supporting Long Haul Marriage with a tax deductible donation?

Write about anything from your past that you believe had an impact on you, whether it was a tragedy or triumph, or both. What you remember about meeting your spouse and those first few years together. How you have been affected mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically in the marriage. Admit to any baggage you brought into the marriage and disclose if you believe you have successfully unpacked this baggage, or if you believe you still have some unpacking to do. Own how you have contributed to the dysfunction in the marriage. Write about the gifts and/or strengths you believe you bring to your marriage. Describe how you wish your marriage looked; what are your specific desires for your marriage<br /><br />A huge thank you to our supporters!  As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of our listeners, so if you have been positively impacted by this podcast or our ministry, would you consider supporting Long Haul Marriage with a tax deductible donation?

Write about anything from your past that you believe had an impact on you, whether it was a tragedy or triumph, or both. What you remember about meeting your spouse and those first few years together. How you have been affected mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically in the marriage. Admit to any baggage you brought into the marriage and disclose if you believe you have successfully unpacked this baggage, or if you believe you still have some unpacking to do. Own how you have contributed to the dysfunction in the marriage. Write about the gifts and/or strengths you believe you bring to your marriage.
