Marriage Advice From One Rancher’s Wife To Another





Over the Easter weekend, my middle sister, Courtney, became engaged to her boyfriend, Riley. They are planning a May 2014 wedding. Already, us girls are engulfed in all of the fun details -- dresses, flowers, reception hall, etc. I’m excited to finally get a brother, and I know my husband, Tyler, and my dad are eager to have another guy to help even out the numbers on the family operation.

I quickly threw on my work clothes and boots, and we headed outside and hopped in the truck. I took the passenger seat and let Tyler do the driving.



I was chattering away and not paying too much attention to what we were doing and where we were going, until Tyler slowed to a stop in front of a gate. He sat waiting patiently while I finished my story. There was a pause, and I wondered what Tyler was waiting for.
