My funniest memory of our dating days is when \u2026<br \/>\n2. Our kids would freak out if they knew we \u2026<br \/>\n3. Before we are together in heaven, I pray that here on earth we \u2026<br \/>\n4. I have this memory of you in a certain outfit. Remember \u2026<br \/>\n5. The most scared you have ever been was \u2026<br \/>\n6. The happiest you have ever been was \u2026<br \/>\n7. I remember thinking I was courageous when I was young because I \u2026<br \/>\n8. I used to always wish I could \u2026<br \/>\n9. If I could spend a day just talking to any one person, it would be \u2026<br \/>\n10. I wish I had learned to \u2026<br \/>\n11. I picture us old, sitting in a rocking chair and you looking over at me and saying, \u201cDaggum it, we never \u2026\u201d<br \/>\n12. If I could spend 24 hours doing anything in the world with you, it would be \u2026<br \/>\n13. I like it best when you refer to me as \u2026<br \/>\n14. The song that always makes me think of you is \u2026<br \/>\n15. My sweetest memory of us in our youth is when we \u2026<br \/>\n16. My favorite memory of our wedding day is \u2026<br \/>\n<div class=\"fl-article-cta\"><div class=\"fl-article-cta-wrapper\"><a class='fl-article-cta-button' style='margin-top: 15px; visibility: visible; background-color: #f3bd48 !important;' target='_blank' href='https:\/\/wp-stage.familylife.com\/learn\/financial-freedom-for-couples\/' data-color-override='false' data-hover-color-override='false' data-hover-text-color-override='#fff'><span>Grab our new online course on Financial Freedom for Couples!<i class='fa fas fa-long-arrow-right'><\/i><\/span> <\/a> <\/div> <\/div><br \/>\n17. My greatest need right now as a woman is to \u2026<br \/>\n18. My greatest need right now as a man is to \u2026<br \/>\n19. If I could have any superpower, it would be \u2026<br \/>\n20. If I could eat anything and it not affect my health, I would feast on \u2026<br \/>\n21. If I could have lived during a different time period, it would be \u2026<br \/>\n22. I laugh every time I think of you doing \u2026<br \/>\n23. I would so enjoy reading out loud together \u2026<br \/>\n24. If we could be roadies for any musical talent, I would choose \u2026<br \/>\n25. If I had it to do over, I would propose to you by \u2026<br \/>\n26. The world\u2019s best anniversary trip would be to go to \u2026<br \/>\n27. My favorite photo of us is the one where \u2026<br \/>\n28. Did you know that it scares me so much to \u2026<br \/>\n29. When we fell in love, my favorite thing about you back then was \u2026<br \/>\n30. I feel you love me the most when you \u2026<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Key to a Great Marriage\u2026 and Coffee\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_5oIiCtmEGA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Copyright \u00a9 2012 by FamilyLife.
