10 Things You Won’t See Me Post on Facebook
The holidays can be a really depressing time for many people and hard on many marriages. Not only are issues related to grief heightened at holiday times, but the stress and expectations level is usually higher than any other time of year.

Every Marriage Needs Adventure!
Some of my best memories of bonding with my family when I was a child were from the many vacations we took. Since my dad was a pastor, we often to traveled to wherever the SBC annual conventions were held, so I got to see so many great places across the U.S. I’m grateful that…

A Wife’s Perspective on Men and Openness And WW Linkup!
In a couple of weeks I will be diving into a series on “Men and Openness” that’s based upon a survey that I’ve been conducting for several months now.

Messy Marriage’s 5-Year Blogiversary, Giveaway and WW Linkup
I can’t believe it’s been five years since I had this hare-brained idea that people might resonate with and find comfort in a blog that focused on messy marriage. God has used this blog to not only minister to, hopefully you, our readers, but to my own marriage as well. Sharing my story and other…

Got Truth?
On this Labor Day weekend, I’ve got two things on my mind … One is to step away from my blog and enjoy my family. I hope that you make time for that as well! It’s so important to your marriage to build in times of relaxation and fun (… stepping off my “soapbox”). Two…

Is affection all that important in marriage? SJT Video
Howdy, Partner! It’s “Sloppy Joe Time” again! And today I’m talking about how easy it is for me to hang out at “Lazy Butt Ranch.” You see, I’ve had this sloppy expectation, hoping that my hubby will let me just coast on the amount of affection I give him—especially since we’re hitched! But marriage doesn’t…

Can I read your mind? SJT Video
Today I’m sharing a “Sloppy Joe Time” video that hits close to home because I put this sloppy expectation into action just a week or so ago. Honestly, I don’t think there will be a day when I won’t have to clean up some mess that I make in my marriage! 😉 I am a…

How Personal Passions Unite You as a Couple And WW Linkup
My husband and I have been working lately on a “dream that we share”—to lead marriage seminars together.
