Maybe everything truly is bigger in Texas.

After reading about star Texas Longhorn quarterback Colt McCoy’s marriage proposal, who can disagree?

Stories about marriage proposals are fun, and can remind us of times in our own lives when we experienced true happiness. The proposal doesn’t have to be big or extravagant in order for it to be special and remembered. What do you remember now when you think back on your proposal story?

If you’re like many couples, you may recall a time when you and your spouse had shared dreams and visions. No dream was too big. Nobody could stand in your way. A lot of the time, though, couples begin to lose sight of their initial hopes and let them fade away. Of course, aging and maturing may have something to do with it, but growing older shouldn’t mean we have to stop dreaming. What do you and your spouse still dream about doing?

Take some time this week to remember your story and what you and your spouse dreamed about and hoped for when you first got married. Do you still share those same visions? How have they changed? Remember this time with your spouse, and use it to reconnect about your plans for the future.

And remember that plans and dreams don’t have to be huge endeavors (unless you live in Texas).
