We’ve all heard it said that a marriage will rise and fall on the communication skills of each couple. From the time we say, I do, we have heard that you need good communication for your marriage to last. From the pulpit, from our parents, from our friends we’ve heard the backbone of a thriving […]
It can happen subtly. One day you wake up and you can’t seem to find the fireworks in your marriage. In fact, you’d be happy to find just one spark. What happened? We need to investigate these feelings in our marriage and tackle them before they rage out of control. Once the flame has been […]
I will never forget one defining moment my last year of graduate school. I was required to have a clinical education experience in a hospital setting.

I’ve been getting mad at my husband lately. My feelings get hurt, and then, I get mad. It’s been from zero to one hundred in lightning speed. He’s returned to working in his office and hasn’t been working from home. Oh, how I enjoyed the time he was able to work from home, but it […]
