My name is Jean Lockwood, and I am the new writer for the Marital Talk blog.
I also write the Parenting and Religion blog at http://www.parentingandreligion.com

I am very happily married to Dan Lockwood, and we celebrate our 27th anniversary this Thursday, July 26th.
Dan and I have learned a lot over the years about what works for us and what doesn’t. I hope to be able to share some of that with you as I write. I also hope to receive some feedback from you, and some great advice on marriage…there is always room for growth and improvement.
Now a little more about myself:
I live in upstate NY with Dan and six of our seven kids. We have one who is married and lives in a neighboring town with her husband.
Dan is a Pastor of a church here in our small village, so yes, I am a Pastor’s wife.
I am also a very busy mom, with kids of all ages. Andy is 4, and learning to read. Troy is 7, and loves to skateboard and draw. Danny is 10, and my big helper around here. He loves to ride his bike and learn tricks like pop-a-wheely. Rachel is 13, going on 20…she loves going to her youth group and hanging out with friends being silly. Shawn is 16, plays guitar and is very artistic. Katie is almost 19, and married to Andy O. They are very happy and excited about life in general. Joe is 21 today(Sunday), and planning on joining an Internship program at a local church- he plays guitar and bass, and loves to shock me.
Dan is my wonderful husband,my best friend,and my partner in crimes of late night Applebee’s Appetizers, and walks in the dark.
If you have any suggestions as to what you would like to see discussed here, please contact me. My information is where you see my name high-lighted, and I can also be reached by you leaving a comment.
Here’s to a new beginning, and a great time!
