Susan hadn’t been able to concentrate since Jeff called earlier in the day. “The kids are staying at your mom’s this weekend. Can you get away a little early?” Her heart skipped a beat when she saw her husband’s car in the driveway with the trunk open. What did Jeff have planned? Life had certainly been interesting lately!
At one time their marriage had been cooling ashes — not the blazing passion of earlier years. Trudging through the humdrum of life had shifted their focus from thriving to surviving mode. The closest thing to surprise in their relationship was whether someone was going to pick up chicken or burgers for supper.
That all changed last winter with an intimate date in front of the warm glow of their fireplace. As they sipped cocoa and relaxed together, Jeff vowed things were going to change in their relationship. That was the kindling their marriage needed, and it started a consistently growing flame, impacting their entire family.
