Meet the New Engaged Marriage Writing Team!

It’s a proud day in Engaged Marriage history!

Since the fall of 2009, I’ve been writing most of the content here on the blog, to the tune of over 350 posts.  I love writing for you and will continue to do so.

But as our community has grown, I’ve felt the need to add some fresh perspective to the site.  I decided it was time to seek out help to make the quality of your experience with Engaged Marriage better than ever.

After sending a single email to our newsletter subscribers and then sorting through nearly 100 amazing applicants (it’s truly humbling to see the number of people with a passion and talent for writing about marriage and family), I was fortunate enough to assemble a team of eight amazing columnists.

These very talented folks have become friends as we organized our new publishing schedule, and I know you’re going to LOVE their contributions.  They each offer unique perspectives, yet they believe deeply in the core mission and theme of Engaged Marriage.  And I need to give a special shout out to Amy Latta who will also be our new Editor.

To start, they’ll each be contributing a new post once per month (they started this week), so look for their insights every Monday and Wednesday with me filling in the gaps in between.  There’s going to be a LOT more actionable content for you to enjoy, so be sure to check back often.

I’m also going to expand our free newsletter to provide a summary of the new posts every other Saturday.  Be sure to sign up here so you don’t miss a thing.

Without further ado, I’d like to introduce your new writing team.  Please take a few minutes to reach out to them on their sites or social media profiles and say hello.

Enjoy!
