NOV 2021: JENNIFER BELL

Doing life with this guy has been nothing short of a blessing! From the time we met in college on January 28, 1988, to our AMAZING wedding day on June 10, 1989 to TODAY....We promised to always be mindful of THREE important factors to ensure our healthy marriage: Communication Finances Intimacy. Any one goes lacking, marriage can be challenging…especially communication!

Our GOD has shown us favor and blessings beyond what we could have imagined! Jeff is a 20 year veteran (USAF LtCol, retired) and I served in public education over 25 years as a teacher and administrator. We have three adult children who are thriving in their respective plights.

We are in the empty-nest phase now and both of us continue to build a legacy for our family. Jeff is co-owner of financial consulting group and I am a health and wellness coach helping women (some men, too!) reclaim their health through premium nutrition and eating more plant-based foods to thrive in life.
​
We love spending time with our family, watching great documentaries and traveling.

Wife Wisdom: Understand and embrace the differences between you and your husband. It will save you time and energy from debating them. He honestly does not see the glass he left on the table on his way to the kitchen . A great book to read is Men Are Like Waffles--Women Are Like Spaghetti: Understanding and Delighting in Your Differences by Bill and Pam Farrel.

First Wives Club: How awesome to have a safe space to grow together and share everything about having a healthy marriage, tools and strategies to continue growing in self-love to enhance marriage-love. I appreciate Denise for seeing a need and holding this space to encourage us all.
