<p>My cyber-buddy and fellow marriage supporter Stu at <a title="Vote for Engaged Marriage!" href="http://www.stupendousmarriage.com/vote-for-your-favorite-marriage-blog-of-2011" target="_blank">Stupendous Marriage</a> is composing a list of the <strong>Top 10 Marriage Blogs 2011</strong>, and I would love it if you can help by taking a minute to vote.</p>
<p>On the two previous years&#8217; lists, you voted Engaged Marriage into the Top Ten.  As it turned out, this really helped us grow our community because people searching for online marriage advice would find Stu&#8217;s list, see Engaged Marriage and click over to check us out.</p>
<p>Once they were here and had the chance to interact with <em>you fine folks</em>, they were hooked! <img src='http://www.engagedmarriage.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2>How to Vote for your Favorite Marriage Blog:</h2>
<p>1. <a href="http://www.stupendousmarriage.com/vote-for-your-favorite-marriage-blog-of-2011" target="_blank">Click here</a> to find the short voting form.  It will take you around 15 seconds to vote.<br />
2. One vote per person…but you can encourage your friends to vote.<br />
3. Voting closes at midnight December 4th (but you should vote now so you don&#8217;t forget).<br />
4. That&#8217;s it!</p>
<p>Thank you for helping out with this. Of course, I would love it if you voted for<strong> Engaged Marriage</strong>, but I won’t be offended if you choose a blog that you enjoy a bit more.</p>
<p>If you do vote for Engaged Marriage and you&#8217;d like to encourage others to join you, here&#8217;s a short message you can share on Twitter or Facebook:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>I just voted for Engaged Marriage (@EngagedMarriage) as a Top Marriage Blog for 2011. You should too! <a href="http://bit.ly/taPVnZ" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/taPVnZ</a></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I think there is a real need for this kind of list, and it is so great to have a central resource to find all of the best marriage-rocking content on the web.</p>
<p>Remember, you have to click over to Stupendous Marriage to post your vote. It only takes a few seconds.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>I hope everyone is enjoying a great weekend with your family.  I am going to keep today&#8217;s post very short because Bethany and I are currently away presenting (and attending) a fantastic <a href="http://www.engagedmarriage.com/communication/have-you-tried-a-marriage-retreat" target="_blank">marriage retreat</a>.</p>
<p>I highly recommend you do the same as soon as you get the opportunity.  It&#8217;s such a renewal to our intimacy and our vigor for life&#8230;and that&#8217;s no exaggeration.</p>
<p>By the way, I wrote this post in advance of our departure, so don&#8217;t worry &#8211; I&#8217;m <em>not</em> using my laptop during our retreat weekend! <img src='http://www.engagedmarriage.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h3>Awesome Giveaway</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.fitmarriage.com/thrive90-fitness"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2555" title="Thrive90 Fitness" src="http://www.engagedmarriage.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Thrive90-Fitness-300x114.png" alt="" width="240" height="91" /></a></p>
<p>I wanted to mention that there is a great giveaway going on over at Fit Marriage this week.  We are releasing our <strong>Thrive90 Fitness program</strong>, which is perfect for busy married couples.</p>
<p>To celebrate the big occasion, we&#8217;re adding a major bonus to those that purchase the program <em>this week only</em>.</p>
<p>AND we&#8217;re <strong>giving away two copies</strong>, and it&#8217;s super easy to enter.  Just visit the link below for all the details:</p>
<p>-&gt; <strong><a href="http://wp.me/p12C22-Bm" target="_blank">Click here to access the Thrive90 giveaway</a> at Fit Marriage!</strong> &lt;-</p>
<h3>Thanks!</h3>
<p>One final word: thanks.</p>
<p>This community means the world to me, and you have such a big, positive impact on our marriage.</p>
<p>When I prepare for events like this weekend&#8217;s retreat, it reminds of how much I enjoy interacting with other proactive couples.  And, in my humble opinion, Engaged Marriage is the best place on the planet to do that!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>As we get ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus and reflect back on the year that we&#8217;ve shared, I&#8217;m amazed at all that 2010 has held both personally and here at Engaged Marriage.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s no exaggeration to say that <strong>I consider our community to be an extension of my family</strong>.  Thank you for letting me share so much and for the amazing feedback and support that you continue to provide on a daily basis.</p>
<p>As a little gift, I&#8217;d like to share a great Christmas music video that I found over at the site of my cyber-friends Tom and Debi of <a href="http://theromanticvineyard.com/" target="_blank">The Romantic Vineyard</a>.  Enjoy!</p>

<p>May God Continue to Bless You and Yours!</p>

<p>My cyber-buddy and fellow marriage supporter Stu at <a title="Vote for Engaged Marriage!" href="http://www.themarryblogger.com/marriage/the-top-10-marriage-blog-finalists-for-2010" target="_blank">The Marry Blogger</a> is composing a list of the <strong>Top 10 Marriage Blogs 2010</strong>, and I would love it if you can help by taking a minute to vote.</p>
<p>On <a title="Top Marriage Blogs 2009" href="http://www.themarryblogger.com/marriage-resources/top-10-marriage-blogs-2009/" target="_blank">last year&#8217;s inaugural list</a>, you voted Engaged Marriage to the #1 spot on this list.  As it turned out, this really helped us grow our community because people searching for online marriage advice would find Stu&#8217;s list, see Engaged Marriage at the top of the list and click over to check us out.</p>
<p>Once they were here and had the chance to interact with you fine folks, they were hooked! <img src='http://www.engagedmarriage.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
