How to Be More Grateful and Make Your Marriage Stronger
Being grateful is not an attitude and choice I easily make most days. Because I’m rather detail-oriented, my eye immediately goes to the visual imperfection or the disappointment in most situations. Yes! I’m rather embarrassed to admit I’m more of a glass-half-empty kind of gal. But I remember a story I read in middle school…

How Scripture Can Help You to Be a Better Parent
Making “parenting” my focus this week means I’m either way behind, since today is Mother’s Day, or I’m way ahead since Father’s Day is more than a month away! 😉 I choose to frame this as being really organized and thinking ahead, though I never was great at that as a mom most days! Today…

How to Be More Content in Life and Generous with Your Money
During this global crisis, most of us have grown worried about money and how financially secure we will be moving forward.

How to Improve the Connection in Your Marriage
A good connection and closeness in marriage is always the desired goal, right?

How to Find the Motivation to Submit to Your Spouse
With fear of a pandemic spreading across the globe, some people are running amuck—antibacterial gel and toilet paper in hand! 😉 What’s even more ridiculous is how we often completely ignore the other “relational” illnesses that afflict our lives and marriages. Most of you know that when my marriage was at its messiest, arguing was…

How to Be Generous Instead of Selfish in Your Marriage
I just knew that looking into this week’s focus—selfishness—would hurt! That’s because, when push comes to shove, I’ve often chosen to be selfish rather than generous with my mate. It would be easy for me to point to my upbringing as the somewhat spoiled youngest in my family. My parents yielded to my way an…

4 Reasons Why We Deceive and How to be More Honest
I’m hooked on the TV show “The Good Doctor.” Part of its appeal for me is the way Freddie Highmore’s character—as a surgeon with autism—is so extremely honest. He cannot pretend he feels a certain way when he doesn’t like most of us can and often do daily. 😉 Although this can get him in…

Find Out How to Improve Faithfulness in Your Marriage
Anyone whose marriage has been rocked by an affair certainly knows the monumental need for faithfulness. But there are a lot of ways we can be faithful (or unfaithful) to our mates other than sexually. Though that’s certainly a foundational way!

Years ago, I grew very interested in the subject of forgiveness, mostly because I realized how much I needed it in my marriage!
