Happy Valentines Day!
I loved exchanging Valentines when I was in grade school. I’d stuff my cream-colored book bag with all of the pink- and-red-hearts-and-roses pre-made greetings my mom had bought me at Meijer grocery store and off I went walking to school in the Michigan winter. (Especially fond memories of placing my feet in Wonder Bread bags before wriggling them into my snow boots. Anyone?)
Today, I have a few Valentines for you.
Got a husband?
Cool.

Now…”All the single ladies…”
You aren’t gonna be left out here on Valentines. I have a heart for you too.
A Confident Heart.
That is the name of the book by my friend Renee Swope. You may know her as a best-selling, award-winning author and executive director and radio voice at Proverbs 31. I know her as a McDonald’s latte-drinking, carpooling Southern mama who hogs the bathroom counter at hotels with her umpteem beauty products when she and I travel together. {wink}
Here is the description of her book: (She’s giving away two copies here)
Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough, smart enough, or valuable enough? Do words you say to yourself, or hear from others, make you question your worth and purpose? Offering the voice of a friend, Renee candidly, and sometimes humorously, shares her story of overcoming self-doubt with powerful Biblical Truths that have transformed her life — and thousands of others!
Chapter by chapter, A Confident Heart will help you:
- Learn to fail forward even when life or sin sets you back.
- Live confidently in your God-given purpose, passion, and personality.
- Break free from people-pleasing and performance-based living.
- Exchange “against me” thoughts with scripture-based God is “for me” thoughts.
- Trust the certainty of God’s promises in the uncertainty of your circumstances and emotions.
- Powerful scripture-based prayers are at the end of each chapter, along with Bible study questions and a chart with thirty-one different promises to overcome our most common self-doubts.
Okay gals—leave a comment to be entered in the giveaway.

At the age of fourteen i got married for the first time, it lasted one year. The second time I was married? for real one week. The third, one year and 1/2 . The forth time! I finally married the man God wanted me to marry. 13 years and he has been the most excepting man I’ve ever known. God has used him as a instrument to heal my broken heart. Thank you Lord for my Valentine!!!!!!!!!!
Tony and I have been married 20 years. Love the book cover and title.
15 years this October! 2 children ages 4 and 7.
Almost 26 years.
My favorite Valentine candy… Fudge Love. It’s from a special place called the Chocolate Factory here in Fort Worth, Texas, and my mom buys it for my chocoholic dad without fail every Valentine’s Day. She never bought any for me specifically, but my dad would always let me have a piece. Yes, a piece. That’s all you needed. This fudge is outrageously rich and will bring you to your knees. Good stuff!!!
We have been married for 16.5 years! July will be 17.
48 years this coming September. He just retired the beginning of January and we are like we are on our second honeymoon. Being together all the time is such a blessing for both of us. I wish the same for everyone.
16 years this March (and my oldest turns 13!!! tomorrow). I went into labor on Valentines night. Thankfully my husband and I had decided to celebrate with a Valentine’s dinner (to not deal with the crowds) the night before.
13 years on February 26
Just CELEBRATED our 25th!
God Bless
Married for 1 and 1/2 year! I feel almost like a newlywed among you, ladies
Looking forward next years spend together 
My husband and I had our first date on Feb 22, 1979 – he proposed on March 29, 1979, and we were married on June 9, 1979! So…we will celebrate 34 years this June. Has it been a perfect marriage? Not on your life. Neither of us were saved when we got married,, so the first few years were tumultuous at best. Once we got saved and invited God to be the head of our marriage, things changed in our marriage tremendously. Is it perfect now? Nope…because only ONE of the THREE in our marriage is perfect – but He keeps us together, and for that I am truly grateful.
20years in July
17 years this June! High school sweethearts who dated almost 10 years before getting married, so we’ve known each other since shaker sweaters, jelly shoes and Aqua Net bangs were all the rage!

I have been married For 14 years.
That is a combined number, i am in my
3rd marriage. At least give me credit For
being persistent. The year 2007 I had given up on
men. That is when I was badly betrayed by my
ex-husband, the father of my 2 girls then they were
ages 17 & 7.
Then I turned everything over to God.
I will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary
17 1/2 years! And I am STILL learning!!!
44 years tomorrow.
34 years. Here is his valentine post on FB:
After 30+ years of wonderful married life, looking into my wife’s eyes and saying “You are my Love and I have been faithful to you”. The BEST Valentines feeling ever is when she says the same and you both know it is true. Love Ya Sugar………..
It’ll be 7 years in May. But today is our engagement anniversary, he knew how much I hated Valentine’s Day and thought it was a made up holiday, so he changed the day for me.
23 Years
Conversation Hearts…remember them??
With a broken heart I post to you. On March 1, we would have been married ten years. But things happened and I could not live with the addiction my husband had. Our divorce was final on January 16, 2013. Today is a heavy heart day as he now has a girlfriend caring for him as I try to heal the hurt he instilled upon this heart.
Bless your heart, Patricia. God has your perfect, loving man already chosen for you. Be faithful and keep looking up. Take your kids or a friend out to dinner or a movie, or even ICE CREAM! It will make your day a fun one. It will get better.
HUGS,
KK
So very sorry Patricia. I’ve prayed for you. May the Lord heal your broken heart!
Think of God as the best Valentine you’ll ever have – his unconditional and faithful love and care are the very best! My heart goes out to you as well as prayers.
Praying for you!
I am going to pray that God mends your heart.
My dear husband and I just recently celebrated our 8th Wedding Anniversary on February 3rd! (-:
15yrs and still learning about each other and growing together.
God has blessed me with a good man!
We’ve been married 32 years this June! I stay amazed at God’s love for me.
Sixteen years ago tomorrow, we had our first date. Fifteen years next month will honor our 15 years of love, work, tears, laughter, and devotion. Time flies when you’re not looking!!
My favorite candy has to be the Hershy’s kisses that are milk chocolate with the creme(I used to think it was white chocolate on the outside) and of course the trademark swirl. It is very inspirational to see the longevity of marriages here by you wonderful ladies.
We will be married 19 years in June. This book looks great. Thank you for the chance to win. Happy valentine’s Day!
We’ll be married twenty three years this year!! That boggles my mind!! Where have the years gone….

monk5 at charter dot net
Will be 14 years in October
12 years in May to the love of my life!
We have been married for 33 yrs in May. We have been in ministry our entire marriage. We met in ministry. For the first 10 yrs of our marriage I was floating on the spiritual coat-tail of my very godly husband. Realizing I did not own my own personal relationship with Jesus, I confessed to my husband that I was not who he thought I was. Thank God he stuck by me and allowed me to grow at my own pace and now my relationship with “the Lover of my soul”, makes my relationship with my earthly love even more meaningful, vibrant, fun and it just keeps getting better. WOOP-WOOP! God is good!
11 happy years and counting!
Almost 22 years!
21 years on May 1st!
20 years this coming June!! WooHoo!!! The time has flown by – I guess that’s a good sign – I have married my best friend who can cheer me up, is my rock, and always make me smile
Thankyou Lord for bringing him into my life!
And I sooo remember Wonder Bread baggies!!! My kids think I make this stuff up!
45 years on June 30. The spark has gone out of our marriage. Help!!
get your family pictures out of happier days and go over them…..by brother and sister in law divorced. My brother passed away in an accident and she became the grieving widow. She said she wished she had looked over their pictures before they divorced…it might have changed something.
In June it will be 14 amazing, adventurous, years with my best friend! Thank you, Lord, for the ups and down that You have used to shape my marriage into one that honors You!
Hi,
My husband and I met on Christian Mingle two years ago this Feb 19! That’s when we will celebrate Valentines Day!! We have been married for 7 months now. And enjoying all the blessings God has given us for this 2nd chance at love!

42 wonderful years to a very patient loving man!
My hubby and I have been married 21 years. Although technically we have only had 4 anniversaries. We were married on February 29! It’s always fun telling people that and watching the look of confusion as they try to do the math! LOL!
On September 3 I will have been married 31 years! I have been truly blessed with a wonderful loving husband that has stood by my side through all the trials of life.
My hubby and I have been married for 16 years! Praise God! It has totally been His doing!
It will be 35 years on March 18th!
I’ve been married for 44 years and I can say he is the best husband ever. I don’t think a day has gone by in years that he hasn’t said and shown his love. God has blessed us.
Proud to say I have been married for almost 26 years ~~
Married 16 years to the love of my life!
My husband and I will be celebrating our 17th anniversary this Sunday February 17th. I love him more every day. We know God created us for each other.
I have been married for 12 (and a half) years!! And I have just fallen in love with him all over again!! Thank God for him!!!
Happy Valentines Day! I have been married to my best friend and Valentine for 18 1/2 years. Wow! Time really does fly. I love Valentine’s day. I love LOVE!
I always have. Growing up, I loved pulling that shoe box out and decorating my Valentine box with my Mom. There was tons of red and pink, glitter, conversation hearts, stickers, paper lace doilies (remember those?) and hearts…can’t forget the hearts of all shapes and sizes. It was such a special time. Then there was always a special gift from Dad. It may have been flowers, candy or just a card, but it was ‘just from Dad’. I remember one year, Dad asked what took us so long in Hallmark. My sister and I explained that we had to find ‘just the right card’ for the occasion, so we read a lot of them. That year, Dad went to Hallmark and told the local owner what we had told him. She pointed him in the right direction. He stayed in Hallmark that day for nearly two hours. From that point forward, he understood. It wasn’t just about the card, it was about the ‘perfect’ card, and that is what he has done ever since. By the way, my favorite candy is (was – they don’t make them anymore) Ethel M’s strawberry creams. Sorry I got off on memory lane…love those times.
Blessings,
KK

Dark chocolate candy with coconut inside.
We are on 27.5 years together, they have been great years!
There is a toss up between my favorite V-Day candy which is sweethearts candy hearts and the cherry gummy hearts. I remember growing up in grade school by decorating my bag and getting all the pretty valentine cards from my classmates. I remember liking the homemade ones the best since alot of time and effort went into making them especially for me. Nowadays, i think of God as my special Valentine in life since I have been happily divorced for 7 1/2 years.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
My favorite candy…. Is a tie between Hershey’s kisses and red cinnamon hearts… Both a favorite. Thanks….
10 years
32+ years because we are into our 33 year together with a fresh love for each other each day. God gives us the gift of a new day and as His couple learning to love Him with our lives anew and fresh with each new day, we are learning to live out the same way in our love for each other as husband and wife! Such a wonderful adventure even in the valleys!
10 1/2 years!

One of my most special Valentines Day blessings was the birth of my daughter 22 years ago today!!

My favorite valentine candy is Reese’s candy. Failed marriage hope to be blessed one day with someone who can love someone with a disability. Unconditional love. Happy Valentine’s Day!
I understand about the pain of a failed marriage and about having a disability. God blessed me with a man that loves me even at my worst. I have been diagnosed a few years ago as borderline autistic and I’m deaf. My husband was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Spectrum Disorder. I will pray that God puts a Godly man in your life if it is his will. Hang in there. If you need a friend you can email me anytime at michellearmstrong35@gmail.com
I am praying that God will bring a great man who will love you the way you were intended to be loved.

We’ve been married 41 years this June, and last month we just married off the 5th of our 8 children. Wow, talk about needing something to spice up a marriage. When the children have been our only focus for so long, it seems that we have become more like roommates. My husband just retired and we have so few common interests! How in the world do we spend the rest of our years? He’s a good man, though, and I’m grateful to God for his faithfulness through the years.
We will be married 13 years on June.
May 20th will be 29 years.
I loved paper crafting as a child and enjoying it even more today. Making candy holders brings back memories.
Together 20 years. Unfortunately right now God and the promise I made to Him, is the only glue holding this marriage together! Divorce is NOT an option.

Married 23 years to my God-picked man. It’s been wonderful and challenging all wrapped in one. God is calling me to focus more on my man this year and meeting his needs (service love language). Grateful God doesn’t leave us where we are at, but always equips us to move forward and become more like Him.
Just celebrated our 56th year. Hard to believe, but I am so happy to have him in my life.

It will be 32 years in June for my wonderful husband and me.
My husband and I were married 30 years when he passed away 9 years ago. Only 48 years old, and it was unexpected. He was the love of my life, and I was so blessed to have him. This Valentines Day has been so nice though. The sun is shining, some of my spring flowers are already poking up through the ground, and I am eating a box of chocolates that someone gave me (along with a pot of sweet smelling tulips and a very nice card) and my boyfriend just called and told me he loved me. God is so good and has blessed me, even when I mess up, or don’t know which way to turn. I could use a confident heart of my own.
My husband and I have been married for over 22 years. We were in the same first grade class and were sweethearts back then!
I Have been married for 3 years to my loving Husband. This September will make our 4th year! Time flies when your having fun!
On June 19, 2013, we will celebrate 20 years of marriage. It hasn’t been easy, but God has been with us all the way! Our wedding verse selection was Jeremiah 29:11-13. We’ve leaned on those verses many times over the years.
Married 17 years in May to the best gift God has given me next to the Man on the Cross!
Hello my name is Dessie and I have been married for 11 years now. I have went from I do to broke and what do I do. My husband is a addict and I have been so torn. No where to go and no one to talk. There are time when I want to leave. Please keep us in prayer. Thank y’all.

Mr. Gary and I will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary on June 8th. We[re never too old to learn! So many books workshops, and sermons have helped us over the years. I learn so much from this website (or whatever this is!!!).
34 years! full of joys and sorrows, ups and downs. With Jesus all things are possible though and when we put each other first, (MOST OF THE TIME,) we try, He makes all things new! We so want to bring Him glory with our life! God is good!
We met in June, engaged in September then married in April, 1982. Last year for our 30th anniversary we renewed our marriage vows in his hometown! It was an absolutely wonderful experience; to reaffirm our commitment, to look back on where we had come from, what we have endured and to look to the future with God by our side!!
coming up on 18 years in March…after almost divorcing 3 years ago and still working on full restoration. God is so good! Loving my husband God’s way through encouragement and help from sources like this is so important, thank you!

Will be married 35 years in June!
My lovie dovie and I are looking forward to celeberating our 30th anniversary in October.
As many others commented, we too have had our ups and downs. With God’s grace we will continue to work on communicating and trying to understand each other. True commitment takes work, but it is well worth the effort. We enjoyed Valentine’s lunch together and I find that during our date time my husband seems to open up the most about his work situation. I covet the fact that he trusts me enough to share these details with me. Lord, help me to grow and to be a better listener throughout the years of our marriage.
I had to laugh when you mentioned using the bread bags in your boots. They seemed to help me get the boots on better and keep my socks dry. Those sledding days were fun! Thanks for the memories.
Getting married next month!
Married 28 years. Yes, loved the Valentine’s…we often made shoe boxes to hold our cards received. And yes to the snow boot baggies!!
Together 24 years, married 23 years in April! And yes, growing up in upstate NY, I remember very well the “bread bags”! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Almost 21 years.
I’ve been to my FANTASTIC husband for 33 years. 34 years this coming July. What a blessing he is to me!
My hubby & I have been married 20yrs.

21 years by the grace of God!
Happy Valentine’s day!
We have been married 6 years and 2 amazing kiddos!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
4 wonderful years on October 11th !!
Sixteen years and five months. Seventeen years ago my husband surprised me with an engagement ring on Valentine’s Day.
And YES, I wore bread bags on my feet inside my boots. Northeastern Ohio.
I separted from my husband 26 years ago on valentines day. It had been a very abusive marriage and after much counceling and prayer, I realized this was the only thing that I could do if I wanted to still be alive to care for mylittle son. It was the day that I learned to love and care for myself. Life has not always been easysince that day but I am so thankful that I serve a loving and forgiving Savior. I would love to receive a copy of Renee’s book.
Valentine’s Day is my least favorite holiday. Not because I am eternally single but because those cards we got in grade school often hurt my feelings rather than showed me love. I remember getting a full box of skunk cards one year. Others I just got insults. Mostly from the boys. It was obvious from a young age that I was not what men/boys found physically attractive. Its not a source of love and joy for me but it only brings hurt feelings. I would rather this holiday never have existed. Its just something I am always reminded of during this holiday. I get what its supposed to mean and I am happy for those who enjoy this holiday but its just another day to me. For the most part these days I just make jokes about how its really “Singles Awareness Day” because you can go throughout your days any other day content with your life and that day seems as if everyone is throwing it in your face. They are in love, they are loved and you never will be loved. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful day with those you love.
BTW. Chocolate covered strawberries.
I would love a copy of The Husband Project. My husband and I are going on 19 years. Between jobs and 2 teens and a preteen, it’s sometimes difficult to squeeze in time for us.
