joni kissing ken on the cheekWhether from a mountaintop or in a blog, I have to shout it out today: I'm so grateful to God for my husband, Ken. Yes, my disability has made our marriage hard, but oh, so rich (you’ll read about that in our upcoming book). As Dr. Dobson says, "A good marriage is not one where perfection reigns; it is a relationship where a healthy perspective constantly overlooks a multitude of 'unresolvables.'" Ken and I like to call it keeping "The Big Picture" -- in other words, let’s not sweat the small stuff; instead, “unresolvables” will teach us to be flexible, learn how to defer to one another, and push us to lean on Jesus. I trust the same is true in all your relationships this Valentine's Day. Have a happy Valentine's Day!

I started receiving your daily devotionals, which I really love, and decided to come and take a look at your blog. How I wish that I could keep Valentine's day in my heart all year long. Jesus would dearly want us to "love one another as God loves us" and I'm sure my husband and friends would agree. Many blessing to both of you! I'm looking forward to your new book. In the love of Christ, Elaine Wiley

Hi Joni, I remember when you came to London for the Christian Book Sellers conference at the Wembley Conference Centre a long time ago.

Dear Joni, I have ordered your latest book at the evangelical bookstore in the Netherlands. The Bible says marriage is a picture of Christ and the church (Eph 5:25).We all can learn from a faithful relationship.
