Nie Nie: "My Secrets to a Happy Marriage"

Christian and I never go to bed without each other (unless we are away, of course). No sleeping-on-the-couch business either. We leave love notes to each other often. I hide them near his keys, and he puts them on the kitchen table. We dance in front of the children. And we pray together daily.

  11. Nie Nie and her family have been through so much in the past year; my thoughts and prayers are with them. She and her husband have such a strong bond that they can make it through anything. And their love for their family is inspiring.
