Following one’s husband can be a hot topic for many women—whether Christian or not. Most women want a strong and capable man who they can do life with. But what if you are married and the idea of “being subject” to your husband just turns your stomach? I get it. We as women are smart. […]
Years ago, I did an incredibly stupid thing. I was driving my husband’s beloved dually pickup truck and while backing up took out one of the fenders. Now, I had driven this truck for years and had no incidents but on this day I got distracted by someone who wanted to talk with me and […]
There are lessons in life and guidance from God all around us, we just need to look and listen. My friend, Michele, is one of the most encouraging people and an amazing cheerleader. Being around her is like a lesson on appreciating others and loving others. My husband and I were blessed to stay at […]
Feeling alone is one of the worst places to be. Feeling alone in your marriage can be excruciating. One can think, “I am married. I am supposed to feel loved and cared for, and yet, I feel alone and hopeless.” What is a woman to do? You love your husband and would never want to […]

Indeed, one of the loneliest and most heart wrenching feelings is when you are married but you feel alone in your marriage. I know. I’ve been there. Like many couples there was a time when my husband and I were really struggling in our marriage. Those were dark and lonely years—and very painful. Even thinking […]
I hear from people who are struggling in their relationships. Some are ready to throw in the towel in their marriages. Her husband may have cheated. His wife may have lost interest in connecting. So many sad stories. So many lives and families torn apart. But then, there’s that ordinary couple who are still in […]
Dear Husband… Another anniversary, oh how the years have flown by.
