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 […]
The DREAMTEAM Marriage
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 […]
Playing Defense?
Defensiveness. It was something I overlooked in my own life. I thought it was harmless and didn’t think twice about it. I felt I had valid reasons to be defensive. 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 […]
The Dangers of a Child-Centered Home
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, […]
THINK TWICE…
This post is about something I have literally struggled with for my entire saved life. I’d like to think I am getting better at it but then weeks like last week happen and I feel like I haven’t grown at all. Here was the scene… I was storming around the house cleaning, organizing, picking up after […]
20 Seconds That Saved Our Marriage
I wanted to share with you something I have discovered that has been a serious GAME CHANGER for my hubs and me. I am constantly running on RED, I am busy 93% of the time, and I have a running list of all the things I have to do in my head. At any given […]
Common Ground
So, I asked for a set of golf clubs. Hold up. Let me back track. Why golf clubs? I worked at a golf course as one of my first real jobs. I was the person in the golf ball tractor making laps on the driving range for everyone to use as target practice. It was sooooo cooooolll!!… […]
CAN’T TOUCH THIS…
Let’s face it. Being wrong sucks. I can think of 839 things I would rather be than wrong. I hate being wrong and feeling wrong, but I REALLY hate being wrong with GOD. When I realize that JESUS says I am wrong… UGH, my heart can’t take it. I desire to get myself right with Jesus and others as soon […]
