I was just thinking. Please bear with me. Just wondering…do you think we should change the marriage vows to something a little less permanent? I mean, forever, until death do us part, in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, I mean, really, isn’t that a bit extreme? Forever?! I don’t know […]
Hi Lucille, I wanted to reach out and see if you could help me with something I am going through. I’m kind of out of things to turn to so here I am. My fiancé and I are getting married in nine months. Today, it seems so far away. My fiancé goes to school three […]
On this night, the night before my husband returns to work after his sabbatical, I am overcome with incredible grabbling sadness. I have so enjoyed having him around. The term all good things come to an end is so very real for me at this moment. I wish I could say this time as been […]
I’m sitting in the waiting area while my husband undergoes Physical Therapy. When his physical therapist came to call him in for his therapy session you would have thought two old friends were greeting each other. My husband seems to make friends wherever he goes. Always the model student in all situations. Watching him never […]
Have you ever been in a season where you feel like nothing is about you in your marriage? Like you are giving to the point where you can’t even imagine giving up any more of yourself?

This is what happened… My husband just recently underwent partial knee replacement surgery. I’ve been caring for him through his recovery. Last night we […]
As I write this it is the night before my husband’s partial knee replacement surgery. Fear and anxiety are surging through my veins. I’m reminded of the words most like to use in times like these: “God will not give you more than you can handle.” But is that in the Bible? I think not. […]
Happy birthday my dear husband, I wish I could say that our 36 years together have been glorious, but we both know I’d be lying. Even just this past Sunday I erupted all over you because I needed more time before I could leave and you were trying to help me by “hurrying me along” […]
My dear husband asked me on a date. We were fitting this date in-between the arrival of grand-baby number three and his impending knee replacement surgery. Let’s call it our last hurrah. I decided in my head that it was going to be a perfect night, and part of it being a perfect night included […]
“I feel beat up by you.” Those horrible words came out of my husband’s mouth. And they were about me. How had I been unkind? I really didn’t know. I reran the morning in my mind. I had said “thank you” no fewer than five times. I had praised him about the same. We had […]
