"Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of choice."

"Your relationship to your husband may be the only marriage book your children ever read. What lessons will they take with them when they leave home?" - Jennifer Flanders

You learn to love by loving...

"He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord."

"There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage." - Martin Luther

"Fewer marriages would skid if more who said, 'I do' did."

"Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy." - Gretta Brooker Palmer

"In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find, and continue to find, grounds for marriage." - Robert Anderson

"What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with the incompatibilities." - Leo Tolstoy

"The eyes are the windows to the soul. What does your husband see when he looks into yours?"

'Marriage isn't a noun; it's a verb..."

Moon Over Your Honey

"You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving." - Victor Hugo

In a happy marriage... the wife provides the climate and the husband the landscape."

Staying with a marriage takes true grit...

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart....

A strong marriage takes work....

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults."

"Fathers who lead need families who'll follow." - Jennifer Flanders

"There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed. If it is unexpressed, it is plain, old-fashioned ingratitude." - Robert Brault

"Many people want to leav a better world for their children. I'm trying to leave better children for my world." - Carlos Slim

"Marriage is an attempt to solve problems together which you didn't even have when you were on your own." - Eddie Cantor

"The grass withers, and the flower falls off, but the word of the Lord endures forever." - 1 Peter 1:24-25

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." - 2 Corinthians 12:9

We’ve used A Reason for Handwriting for years to We’ve used A Reason for Handwriting for years to teach our kids penmanship. I love the fact their practice sheets contain so much scripture. Some of our kids have been more enthusiastic about learning cursive than others, and I realize some schools no longer require it. If you prefer for your kids to print, they offer manuscript books, too. But did you know learning cursive carries benefits beyond developing a smooth and flowing script? It really helped my struggling readers overcome letter rehearsals and gave them a leg up on spelling, as well.

Our daughter Bekah signed up to attend a missions Our daughter Bekah signed up to attend a missions conference in Florida with a friend this month and asked last minute if she could bring her 15-year-old brother along, too. We said yes, and she sent home all these wonderful photos to document the great time they were having. I love to see my adult kids go adventuring, but it especially warms my heart when they invite younger brothers and/or sisters to join them. These close sibling relationships are one of the very best by-products of having spent so many years spent homeschooling together. I love how much our kids love one another. ❤️ #bigfamilylife #homeschooling #lovingfamily #adventureawaits
Can you believe we’ve been homeschooling for wel Can you believe we’ve been homeschooling for well over thirty years now? Since ten of our twelve have already graduated, I’m rapidly approaching the finish line — a bittersweet fact that spawns a wide range of emotions. Joy, on the one hand, over watching my children grow into mature, responsible, compassionate adults. (3 John 1:4) But I feel a little sadness, as well, knowing that this wonderfully sweet and rich and full and rewarding (albeit simultaneously challenging and exhausting and demanding) season of my life is drawing to a close. What will I ever do once it’s completely behind me? That’s why I’m thrilled to report that my homeschooling career recently got an extension, as I’m getting to school three of my grandkids this year. They’re doing a great job of keeping me on my toes and keeping my two youngest company, so the house doesn’t feel nearly as empty as we thought it might this semester. #homeschoollife #lifestyleoflearning
Having read this book chapter-by-chapter last year Having read this book chapter-by-chapter last year as it was being written, I know what a labor of love it was for Abbie to write and how earnestly she prayed over every word. 🙏🏻 I know how much scripture she packed into these pages and how faithfully she has lived out its message through all the years we’ve been friends. 🎯 And I also know what a powerful blessing this book is going to be to every reader who is willing to take its transformative message to heart. ❤️ Congratulations, @m.is.for.mama , on another (hard) job well done. I can’t wait to start reading book #3! 😊 #flandersfamilyreads #bookstagram #hardisnotthesamethingasbad
My sweet husband had an early start, so I ended up My sweet husband had an early start, so I ended up painting his truck in the dark this year. 🌙 “Just Married 36 Years & My Wife Still Adores Me.” 💕 What I wrote is so true. I suspected Doug would make a wonderful husband as soon as I met him, but he has far surpassed all my hopes and dreams. 😍 Is he perfect? No. Neither am I. But there is a world of happiness and abiding joy that awaits couples willing to love despite their flaws, forgive offenses when they inevitably come, work as a team, and remain committed to one another “for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health.” 👫 We’ve had our fair share of all those things, but are grateful for the way God has used every trial to draw us closer to Him and closer to one another. 🌱 Here’s to 36 more years (or as many as our Maker will grant us) of wedded bliss! 🎉 #happyanniversay #36years #moreinlovethanever #stillhoneymooning
First day back at co-op was also first volleyball First day back at co-op was also first volleyball game of the season, which our team won, but not until 10:45 PM. It’s been a looooong day! #firstdayofschool #goheat #yayteam

But even that stop was not completely free of scaffolding, as the grand dining hall was undergoing floor-to-ceiling cleaning and refurbishing while we were there. #biltmoreestate #ashville #lifestylesoftherichandfamous

One of our family vacation traditions — at least One of our family vacation traditions — at least for Mom and Abby, though others usually join in when we’re getting close — is to race the clock to see if we can finish a jigsaw before time to return home. We normally work 1000-piece puzzles that we pick up at thrift shops as we travel. But this trip, the resort had a collection of puzzles guests could check out, so we did that instead. We chose a 500-piece puzzle to start, but finished it the first night and went back for a second. #flandersfamilytravels #roadtrip #jigsawpuzzles #funmemories

Daniel won every round of bingo except the last, which could only be won by losing (i.e.,being the LAST player to get a bingo). #lovemybluegreen
