Today is my birthday. Today I am 34 years old. I really don’t feel 34. I feel somewhere between 28 and 30, honestly. But alas, one cannot change one’s age or turn back the wheels of time, so I am willingly settling into my mid thirties today with quiet confidence that this is going to…

For Better or For Worse…
When newlyweds are young and in love and wrapped in the whirlwind of excitement that comes with a wedding celebration, how seriously do we stop and contemplate what it means to love, honor and cherish our spouse for better or for worse? For better is the easy part, but how do we handle seasons of…
H is for Husband and for Hero
My husband is my hero. Now before you turn to the side and gag, let me tell you why. My husband loves God. He is fully devoted to knowing, loving and living out the ways of Jesus in his day to day life. This means that he strives to love me as much as he…
Praying for Your Marriage
This week in the “Women Living Well” marriage challenge, we are intentionally and more proactively praying for our husbands.

How to Have a Marriage Without Regret
