Take the First Year Off

My good friend Jonathan Dodson, who is planting a church in Austin, TX, just had a great article published in Boundless on taking the first year of marriage off. Shawnda and I did a similar thing and wouldn’t do it any differently - it has been foundational for our marriage.

Happy 2nd Birthday Keziah
