by Heather Long | More from this Blogger

What a week here in the Marriage Blog and what a week for many couples around the country who saw the school year ending and got ready to launch their summer vacations. Summer vacations for couples can provide a lot of opportunities and challenges. We're going to take a look at those in the common weeks as well as our focus on weddings just in time for June. Also, don't forget, this summer also plays host to the lucky day that many brides and grooms are looking forward to on July 7, 2007 - or 777 as they call it. Without further ado, let's take a look at our week in review:
