Taming Triggers in Your Marriage and Life Plus WW Linkup
You’d think that after almost 29 years of marriage, my hubby and I would have tamed all of the “beasts” that arise from the moments when our wounds are triggered … but you would be wrong! 😉 I think it’s sort of like the apostle Paul’s “thorn” that God did not remove from his life…

My Husband’s View on Spiritual Leadership
I’m excited to add a new installment to my “Pick Hubby’s Brain” video series this week. We’ve had some camera issues (and quite frankly, are still having some issues to iron out) but am happy to offer some food for thought from my wise and witty hubby on the sticky subject of spiritual leadership. I…

5 Signs of a ‘Grab-it Habit’
A lot of people, especially bloggers, choose one word or phrase to focus on for the year. I often do that, but don’t always talk about it.

What Men Fear about Opening Up And Linkup

Resisting God because You Feel Pressured?

The distinction is an important one. A “reaction” is letting…

‘Fix’-ated on Changing Your Mate?
Today we continue to unpack the many subtle ways our spouses can control us by talking today about the temptation to try to “fix” or change our spouse because he/she doesn’t do his/her part or do it correctly. This is very similar to the victim-mentality post I wrote about recently, but the emphasis is on…

The Allure of the Illegitimate in Marriage
Today I’m continuing to unpack another way we can let our spouses control us with – “Choosing to have an affair or to look at pornography because you believe you’ve been deprived of ‘whatever’ in your marriage.” I have a sneaking suspicion that the spouses who need this message the most are not going to…
