From castle visits in Scotland to a single daffodil left on the counter each spring, Jerry and Becky talk about why celebrating traditions and milestones matters in a marriage.

They swap favorite memories — a Scottish castle, walking the Great Wall of China, a frozen Niagara Falls — and argue that it’s the thought behind a gesture, not its cost, that makes it meaningful. They run through a calendar’s worth of lesser-known “couple” holidays (Cuddle Up Day, National Spouses Day, Kiss Day, Proposal Day, Husband and Wife Appreciation Days, Hug Day) as prompts for small acts of celebration, and discuss how planning things together — leaning on the word “we” — builds lasting family tradition. They close with Psalm 118:24 and 2 Corinthians 9:7 on cheerful giving.

Topics discussed:

• Favorite shared travel memories and traditions
• A calendar of lesser-known “couple” holidays
• Why thoughtfulness matters more than expense
• Planning celebrations together as a couple
• Keeping a journal of family memories
• Psalm 118:24 and 2 Corinthians 9:7
