It actually happened over Memorial weekend. We had been dating for 4 years and thought it was time. SO excited to be engaged to the most wonderful woman I have ever met. She is a true jewel.

I just told her that I was NOT getting married during deer season $\:D$ . SO she is trying to schedule it during turkey season

$\:D$ . Oh well....I told her that it cant be the opening weekend of turkey or the last weekend of turkey $\:D$ , so she has 3-4 weeks to make it happen

. I will have further updates......

$\:D$

JC,

In my 20 plus years of marriage, most of it has been smooth sailing but certainly not all of it. There are things that come up in all marriages. The main advice I would give a couple who is walking through difficulty is to make sure you’re committed to persevering and working through anything that happens. It’s very easy in this day and age, when you have a little problem to say that you and your spouse are not compatible and that it’s over. That’s the easy way out and I don’t think that’s the Lord’s way. In anything, whether it’s a marriage, a football season or a business career – it’s not all smooth sailing. When you hit those rough patches, fighting through it, being determined and working together – that’s what will keep your marriage going. The couples who do this come out of a rough season and their marriage is better than ever. So, that would be my advice – make sure you’re committed to work through anything that comes up.

Best wishes,

Dean

Happy couples know that the real relationship begins when the honeymoon is over. Discover 10 things that happy couples do:
1. Go to bed at the same time. Remember the beginning of your relationship, when you couldn't wait to go to bed with each other to make love? Happy couples resist the temptation to go to bed at different times. They go to bed at the same time, even if one partner wakes up later to do things while their partner sleeps.
2. Cultivate common interests. After the passion settles down, it's common to realize that you have few interests in common. But don't minimize the importance of activities you can do together that you both enjoy. If common interests are not present, happy couples develop them. At the same time, be sure to cultivate interests of your own; this will make you more interesting to your mate and prevent you from appearing too dependent.
3. Walk hand in hand or side by side. Rather than one partner lagging or dragging behind the other, happy couples walk comfortably hand in hand or side by side. They know it's more important to be with their partner than to see the sights along the way.
4. Make trust and forgiveness your default mode. If and when they have a disagreement or argument, and if they can't resolve it, happy couples default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging.
5. Focus more on what your partner does right than what he or she does wrong. If you look for things your partner does wrong, you can always find something. If you look for what he or she does right, you can always find something, too. It all depends on what you want to look for. Happy couples accentuate the positive.
6. Hug each other as soon as you see each other after work. Our skin has a memory of "good touch" (loved), "bad touch" (abused) and "no touch" (neglected). Couples who say hello with a hug keep their skin bathed in the "good touch," which can inoculate your spirit against anonymity in the world.
7. Say "I love you" and "Have a good day" every morning. This is a great way to buy some patience and tolerance as each partner sets out each day to battle traffic jams, long lines and other annoyances.
8. Say "Good night" every night, regardless of how you feel. This tells your partner that, regardless of how upset you are with him or her, you still want to be in the relationship. It says that what you and your partner have is bigger than any single upsetting incident.
9. Do a "weather" check during the day. Call your partner at home or at work to see how his or her day is going. This is a great way to adjust expectations so that you're more in sync when you connect after work. For instance, if your partner is having an awful day, it might be unreasonable to expect him or her to be enthusiastic about something good that happened to you.
10. Be proud to be seen with your partner. Happy couples are pleased to be seen together and are often in some kind of affectionate contact -- hand on hand or hand on shoulder or knee or back of neck. They are not showing off but rather just saying that they belong with each other.
Even if these actions don't come naturally, happy couples stick with them until they do become a part of their relationship. They know that it takes 30 days for a change in behavior to become a habit, and a minimum of six months for a habit to become a way of life and love.

Congrats, I wish you the best! We scheduled our showers/wedding/honeymoon/parties etc around deer and turkey season as well. It can be done even though MANY of my naysayer friends thought otherwise. $\:\)$
