• 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 Much Humility Are You Living Out in Your Life and Marriage?

  

  Humility is one of those incredibly important character qualities we need in life and, especially, in marriage. Unfortunately, many often misunderstand what humility involves. Rick Warren helps to clarify this issue, saying . . . “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.” [bctt tweet=”Humility is not thinking less of yourself, […]

• Resurrect Me from the Pull of My Desires And Linkup

  

  In my new series—Resurrect Me—I want to explore all the ways you and I let addictions, compulsions and bad habits drag us back to the “grave” of our former selves (Rom. 7:22-25). This unbridled and relentless hunger can be especially destructive in marriage—making it so very messy and ugly. There’s an important passage in James […]

• My Lazy Ways in Marriage

  

  My husband would never accuse me of being a couch potato, but when it comes to my marriage, sometimes I can be a little lazy. I guess that’s because of the “Law of Lock-Down.” Never heard of it? Well, it’s when you have “locked-down” your mate in the bonds of holy matrimony and you never […]
