Discussions continue, but in the meantime Krista and I (Doug) have decided to try our hand at blogging (www.godsdesignformarriage.com). It's a modest attempt to share what we have learned. We invite your suggestions on topics to cover or ideas for the site (and you can comment on each of the posts). Our prayer is that the Lord will use it for His glory and our delight. Let us know what you think." ~ Doug
