For those of you who don’t know, Twitter.com is an invaluable resource. I like to tell people it’s like a cross-breed between instant messaging and social networking. Like my Facebook account, I can add hundreds of friends, but when I send a message out on Twitter (short, limited to 140 characters) it goes out to all of my friends. The best thing about Twitter? I’m friends with a bunch of people that I could never get face time with, but they actually respond on Twitter. It’s like being able to get short, extremely valuable consultations for free.

In the spirit of Twitter, here are the ways Twitter has helped my marriage:

- Given me good ideas for dates.
- Met local people who had advice for good local restaurants.
- A little cheering section when I need encouragement (guys say, “yeah, I did that too”).
- Lots of random ideas for blog posts about marriage when reading other people’s tweets.
- Spawned intense discussions on my blog (and others) about marriage.
