Whoa, it’s been an incredible few months! Not only has the time flown by, our numbers are way up. Welcome to all our new readers – I’m glad you’re here!
The number of daily readers continues to climb and in case you haven’t noticed the subscriber count lately, they’re climbing like crazy! We began the year around 1500 subscribers, now we’ve topped the 4000 mark. I’m grateful and humbled by the growth. Simple Marriage was featured on my.yahoo.com right before Valentine’s Day. I don’t know how we ended up there, but I glad we did. It’s brought a lot of new people to our community.
I’m putting the finishing touches on my marriage workbook. My goal is to have it available in March. The feedback I’ve received thus far on the book has been great. I look forward to hearing from you about how this workbook has taken your marriage from one level to another even better.
Now on to the best posts from the past two months:

Hi… just want to let you know that your link to the ‘remember when’ post is broken (both from the email and the actual site)…
I can see why your number of readers is soaring Corey. This was the best month of articles yet. It was nice to have the contrasting styles of you and Mary Ann writing posts. You both are fantastic writers and put things in a way that makes tons of sense. This blog is a wonderful resource for any couple no matter how long they have been married!
So I’ve been reading through the archives (I think I started following your blog in January) and maybe I’m just blind, but is there away to find every article, or only those published in the “best of”?
i like the word about marriage
@Heather- I am working to add an archive section, that will allow for an easier perusing of past articles. Not sure when it will be up and running but it’s in the works. Until then, the best thing to do is search by category, below by the footer, or simply click back through post by post starting on the main page (a bit tedious I know, sorry).
Okay- Now there is an archive page. Look in the sidebar if you’d like to dig through the past posts.
Thanks for the great content. This is a rare find. And congrats on the growth. How exciting. I found you through Simple Mom and I’ve recently begun a devotional blog for women at http://burningbushes.org/. I’d love to have you visit sometime. I’ve sent my readers here for your complaint free challenge and the four marriage killers post. Great stuff. Here’s to the days ahead!
Thanks so much Corey!
