Lately it seems that there has been an absolute “onslaught” of October birthday celebrations. Whenever I (Erin) come upon that, it makes me curious as to what might have caused the increase in birthdays. Maybe you don’t think about things like this, but as someone who loves research, it fascinates me to know that there are months that actually have a higher rate than others because of optimal “seasonal conception conditions.” After doing a little research, I found that some studies report Autumn and Spring to be two of the perfect times to conceive a pregnancy. According to one analysis, the perfect time of year is when the sun shines for about 12 hours and the temperature hovers between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Interesting research, isn’t it? However, as we enter into the Autumn months, it provides the perfect temperature for many things besides conception….including relationships. What is the current “temperature” in your marriage? Is it warm and inviting, or is it cold and icy? Are you content with the current conditions? We are thrilled if you are happy with the current condition of your relationships, however, if you’re not, think of one thing YOU could do to “warm it up” in your relationship either physically or emotionally.

Although the temperature outside can influence the birth rate, what will you allow to influence your marriage? Be intentional during this ultimate “conception” time. Choose to grow a healthy marriage.
