Thank you, Shannon, for having me as a guest on your blog…and thank you for some interesting
questions.
- What’s the most romantic thing your spouse has ever done for you?
Let me begin by saying that my husband and I have been married for over 37 years and together for more than 40. I know I am blessed. I took some time and thought about these questions…and the honest answer is…the most romantic thing my spouse has ever done for me is to stick. He is faithful and honest.
- What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for your spouse?
The same…my husband once told me that he no more saw the sun not coming up in the morning than me cheating. I’ve used this as an example in my Psychology courses—this is kind of person you want to be. I hope they don’t see this as bragging on my part, but gratitude that my husband sees me this way.
- Where is the most romantic place you and your spouse have ever been?
More blessings…I won a trip to Hawaii with my club from school. My husband spoke at a conference in London and we were able to travel to Paris afterwards. Oh, and we added a week to that trip and took the train to Edinburgh, Scotland. We’ve been to my dream places together and we’re creating new dreams together. By the way, I loved every one of those places—they live up to the hype.
- How soon after meeting your spouse did you know he/she was the one?
I grew up in a dysfunctional household; my parents’ marriage was not the kind that inspired trust or confidence in romance. So…I took six months to even say anything emotional. I was scared, but I also knew that I missed him when he drove off to his college.
- How soon after meeting you did your spouse know you were the one?
My husband and I met at a gathering for scholars—he attended an all-male college and I attended a women’s college. After we talked and exchanged napkins with names and phone numbers (which we both still have), we left the event to return to our respective schools. That night, walking back with a friend, my husband stated that he’d met the woman he was going to marry (me).
- What is the most caring thing your spouse has ever done for you?
When we were dating, my husband took this Virginia mountain girl to meet his family in Connecticut. I might have been intimidated because I didn’t say anything when we visited his older brother’s home and they only served us dessert at dinner time. I am hypoglycemic and, by the time, we got back to my in-laws’ house and I ate a regular meal, I was crashing. I went upstairs to lay down and couldn’t get back up. My then-fiancé sat on the floor beside me until I could finally sleep—which took some time because I strangely kept trying to get up to brush my teeth. His care for me convinced me that I’d found a keeper.
By the way, I don’t know if there can be a “most caring” after so many years—this was just the first. God has blessed me and I hope he has blessed my readers as well!

About the book – Another Outer Banks Christmas: 
As the daughter of missionaries, Kerrie Alexander has lived on Hatteras—an island in the Outer Banks—longer than any other place she’s been. When her parents inform her the family is slated to go overseas again, she balks. Her life on the island—her job, her friends, even the handsome hero in her Sunday School class—makes her want to put down roots. Butto do so, she’ll need to find a place to live, face being on her own separated from any close family—something she’s never done before.
Firefighter and EMT Wade Hampton can face pretty much any emergency, except his matchmaking grandpa threatening him with disinheritance if Wade doesn’t get married in just three months. Not that Wade objects to the idea of marriage, but how does a guy who has no problem running into burning buildings find the courage to ask a girl like Kerrie out for a date? She’s a role model for everything good, and he comes from a rough and broken home. Not to mention, Christmas is right around the corner!

Paris
I loved Paris! People in general warned me that the people would be rude or the streets dirty and that I would be disappointed. They weren’t and I wasn’t–it was beautiful!
Thanks for commenting. Blessings, Christina
Puerto Rico is lovely with its old-world charm, lovely beaches and other scenery.
That’s a place I hadn’t considered visiting…I’ll have to look it up!
I have a winner! Beverly Best won the drawing. I appreciate Christina for being my guest and everyone else for stopping by.
Thank you for having me! Blessings, Christina
