PUMP THE BRAKES! The Importance of Slowing Life Down
PUMP THE BRAKES! The Importance of Slowing Life Down. Hi! I am back from traveling around the world. Manila, Philippines, to Bangkok, Thailand, to Kho Phi Phi, Thailand, to Bangkok, to Manila, and finally back to the US. It was one of my favorite trips. My husband and I got to minister at the Destiny […]
Who Do You Run To?
My husband takes off about 3-4 times a year on trips overseas, and I get ditched occasionally. SAD. But I survive. He is currently away on a 3-week trip, and the time apart is precious to us both. Yes, you read that right. We love being able to separate for short periods of time… because […]

Hang On To Your Love
This post is going to be interesting. Some will hate it, disagree with it, and some will give it some good thought and take the advice. This is for everyone: those who are married and those who want to be someday. “Oh, her husband left her for a younger woman” seems to be a recurring […]

Being a TEAM in marriage was a foreign concept to me. I understood that dividing chores and arranging schedules… clearly takes “teamwork”. But I hadn’t considered being on a team with my husband when it came to things like facing personal battles or failures or being his cheerleader and helpmate when it came to his […]

I thought, “I wouldn’t have to BE defensive if I wasn’t being ATTACKED!” The problem with that is that NO ONE was truly attacking me. But it didn’t matter; […]
Are You A Trash Talking Wife?
Have you ever bad-mouthed your spouse in front of someone? Maybe complained about them a little or put them down? For example, I was with a group of acquaintances a few weeks ago, and one of the wives was telling everyone how she had the “balls” in the relationship (sorry for being crude, but the […]

Has anyone else noticed the disorder of families these days? Kids, Dogs, Cats, and all of the above come before God and the other spouse. Moms will move heaven and earth for their children before they will consider the needs of their husbands. The child or, heaven forbid, the DOG, sleeping between the married couple has become […]
The Toxic Habit Of INTERRUPTING
I am about to embark on a topic that will most likely be acknowledged as you read it, but putting it into action is an entirely different battle. Take one moment to ask the Lord to help you right now. Because I am willing to bet this IS an issue in your marriage and quite possibly others in your life (boss, […]
GOT DADDY ISSUES?
Got daddy issues? I definitely have had my own battle with daddy issues. 🙄 What does that even mean? “Daddy issues” are often explained as adult issues resulting from a negative relationship with one’s father in childhood or a lack of one entirely. – Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) “Attachment disorder (otherwise known as daddy issues) really […]
