Are You Fencing out Your Spouse?
(The following post is only true for those who do not have abusive marriages.) My husband is a huge football fan. And since I’m not, I’ve learned to find other activities at this time of year, so that he’s free to cuddle up with his remote and zero in on the end zone. Even though…

He Came to Get Messy
Sometimes we forget what a sacrifice Jesus made in coming to earth as a human, experiencing all the messiness of life. But I’m so grateful that he didn’t leave us in our messes. Take a look at this video and be reminded of how the God of the Universe can relate to you and me.…

Do You Have a Messy Marriage?
My boys have always had a way of ignoring messes. They can live in their messy rooms for months and not be bothered by the piles of stuff that must be navigated like an obstacle course or a mine field in order to get to the other side. If you asked them, “Do you think…

My husband and I have certain marriage policies that we keep in place in order to protect and enhance our marriage. One of those policies is to never compete with each other.

Are You Accepting or Tolerating Your Spouse?
There’s a catch-22 in my life. I want to be patient and tolerant of my husband. Sounds all well and good, right? But if you think about it, the word “tolerant” tells you a little bit about where I’m going with this post. I’m sure my husband doesn’t really want to be “tolerated”—no matter how…
