Well after missing a week due to illness (bad) and our marriage retreat weekend (very good), the weekly installment of links to great reads I’ve found on the World Wide Web is back. As usual, some relate to marriage and some don’t, but all are excellent resources that I think you will enjoy checking out. Here they are!

Focus on Your Personal Strengths, Not Correcting All the Weaknesses. I was thrilled to see Engaged Marriage featured on the Dumb Little Man blog this week. This is a cool site covering a wide range of topics designed to help you have a better life. And this post does just that.

Bye Bye Birth Control. When I posted about Natural Family Planning earlier this week, it quickly became the most popular post on the site so I know there is an interest in this subject. I also know that many of us are not motivated (purely) by religious convictions. When I found this post on the Always A Northerner blog, I knew I had to share her story of exploring NFP for practical reasons. And I also knew I had found a great new blog to follow!

Although I enjoy writing about marriage and all of the related topics it entails, I also like to take time each week to introduce you to some cool blogs and articles that I have read throughout the week. This week we have a few related directly to marriage and a few that simply focus on having an awesome life. And I always like to include a photo. Here’s the third installment…enjoy!

How to be Married a Decade & Stay Madly in Love. I just found the OnSimplicity.net blog this week, and I really like what I have seen. The title of this article says it all, and as we approach 8 1/2 years of marriage, I can vouch for the great advice offered.

Marriage: Five Questions to Ask Each Other. Another great marriage blog I discovered recently was FromSingletoMarried.com and I particularly enjoyed this post. My wife and I are regular presenters at marriage preparation courses and these are fantastic questions for every couple to discuss.

Transform your Life from Ordinary to Extraordinary. I’ve talked about MySuperChargedLife.com before and it is one of my favorites. Check out this recent post for some motivation in your own life.

As I have become more immersed in the world of blogging, my eyes have been opened to the great deal of quality content out there to read. I thought it would be fun and hopefully useful if I posted a weekly “round-up” with links to some of my favorite reads from the week. These will range from serious, marriage-related articles to funny photos. Here’s the second round…enjoy!

Lessons Learned From a Bicycle. I have been a fan of the Frugal Dad website for a long time as its writer is a fellow follower of Dave Ramsey’s financial principles. This article takes a look at how we can raise our kids to appreciate the simple things and not become too materialistic.

18 Best WordPress Plugins. If you are a fellow blogger, I highly recommend How to Make My Blog as an informative and entertaining source of info. In this post, the author outlines the best plugins you should use for your WordPress blog. Good stuff!

Great Article on Child Discipline. I recently discovered the SimpleMarriage site, which has some great parallels to Engaged Marriage. This is a super article about the importance of letting kids learn from their mistakes.

Zen Habits article on getting things done. Zen Habits is one of the biggest blogs on the web, and I saw a lot of value in this article on reducing the “friction” in life so you can get more things accomplished.

Cool story about Teddy Roosevelt. The Art of Manliness is a cool blog aimed at helping guys be a “man’s man”. Teddy Roosevelt was the ultimate manly man, and this story about his adventures on The River of Doubt proves it.

Debt Free with the Debt Snowball. My Super Charged Life is a cool blog aimed at helping you make the most out of life. This is an older article about using Dave Ramsey’s plan to get out of debt. Our family has used this method and the resulting financial freedom has definitely enhanced our marriage.
