Wow, I didn't know how long it would take to make a Facebook page. I couldn't even figure out how to post it, and tried to send invites to my sisters about 6 times before I figured that it wasn't even published yet. After hours and hours of working on it (Though you probably can't tell) I am done! Somehow Blogger seems more simple. If you have a Facebook account, and you feel like posting on my page, I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I might even consider being your friend forever and forever.
I'm sorry if you are my friend on Facebook, I have your email address, and you read my blog. That means you've probably heard of my project at least three times now. For background information: I've been talking of wanting to write a book that tells what people love about their marriages for a long time. Since I have a great deal of extra time lately, I thought I might as well start a project with that in mind. I just wanted people to share their experiences, the great things about their marriage, and maybe get something from it. For me it's always a good thing to look at the positive aspects of my life, and sometimes have to do it on purpose. Also, I figure this can help me get a better view of marriage, since I do have a skewed one. I love the idea of hearing from real people instead of marriage researchers alone. Oh- background on that: I really have read a lot of books and attended a lot of classes on the topic, and I think it's time to hear from ordinary people... Maybe someday it will pay off? That means I actually will write a book, or someday I'll be the one writing a blurb about how great my marriage is :)
Here is the email I sent to people. If you want to leave a comment here, I can paste it onto my Facebook page. Thanks!!
Dear friends and family,
I've been working on a Facebook page showing positive things about marriage, and I'd love it if you would post! I personally tend to look at the negative aspects of marriage more than the good, so think of it as giving hope to all of the single people out there. I might someday compile the information into a book, so think of it as posting for posterity :D If you don't have a Facebook account, you can just respond to this email, and I'll enter your comments on the page.
What do you love about your marriage? Feel free to tell a favorite memory, send a cute picture, or just write one line about the things you love in your marriage. If you could leave your first name and the length of your marriage at the bottom of your email, that would be great.
Thanks in advance for those of you who would like to post,
Carrie
