Join me today as I chat with the beautiful lady and best-selling author Chelsea Smith who gives us a lifeline to 'I Do' Today: A 52-Week Guide to the Marriage You've Been Waiting For

Do you dream of having one of "those" marriages--a marriage full of connection, trust, and laughter? A marriage that gets better year by year? Whether you've been married a few months or a few decades, the challenges of marriage--like finances, kids, grief, sex, and even everyday annoyances--might make that dream feel far away. But it doesn't have to feel that way.

After twenty-five years of marriage, Chelsea Smith knows that the best way for a marriage to thrive is by taking it one day, one decision, one conversation at a time. In "I Do" Today, she gets you and your spouse talking and growing together in life-changing ways. Each week, you'll explore a new topic through:

  • Short readings with real-life stories that offer validation, hope, and motivation
  • Reflection prompts and conversation starters that go deep without being daunting
  • Activity ideas to bring you closer together (and have fun along the way!)
  • Simple, easy-to-follow steps for strengthening your emotional and physical connection

"I Do" Today helps you and your spouse actively choose each other again and again as together, day by day, you create the marriage you've always wanted.
