My husband was behind schedule as he headed out for work. He had pulled the trashcan out of his man cave, which is a remodeled trailer in our backyard, and told me he’d put it away when he got home. I don’t particularly like going out there—the man is brilliant!—it includes leaving the locked door […]
I was slightly amazed and hugely amused. As I sat in the background quite comfy, I might add, in a cushy chair looking on as my son led a team to pray. The amusing part was where my mind went as I watched. Come with me back to when he was a teenager… My husband […]
In most cases, we want to be first. The first in line. The first to accomplish something. The first to figure out the complicated equation. I like being first, don’t you? Can we apply this principle to marriage? Follow me here… The sport my oldest son chose was boxing. I cringed every time he got […]
Have you ever met someone who impacted you in such a way that it caused you to reevaluate who you were? It was random. During a “girls’ retreat week” Susan and I would be sharing a room. The first thing I noticed about her was that she was beautiful and not the teenage hot kind […]
Happy birthday my dear husband, I wish I could say that our 34 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” […]

And this week guess who is the guest speaker about marriage? Y’all it’s me! If you want to strengthen your marriage today, with easy doable […]
Mommy, please slow down. My little legs can’t keep up with you. I know I’m little now, but one day I will be a grown man with my own family. Please don’t drag me around at your pace. One day I too will be leading my family, and if I am being dragged around by […]
I could hear the angst in her voice. “Mom, we have a dilemma. We are not sure what to do.” I listened to her talk with all the angles around a serious decision she and her husband needed to make. I asked the question I always ask, “What does your husband think?” He, being a […]
“He hasn’t touched me in weeeeekkks!” she said with undeniable pain in her eyes, “I think he’s cheating.” WHY? Why do women do this? Why is the first jump straight to infidelity anytime our man comes home late or has a libido dip? I asked her, “Why do you feel this way?” Very convinced of […]
