Marriage. So good. So hard.

Because marriage is so GOOD and also so HARD, I’m sharing what God laid on my heart a while back— There absolutely will be the days your eyes meet and your heart flutters. The days you melt into each other’s arms and your heart swells with emotion. There will be those mountain-top, romantic moments withContinue reading “Marriage. So good. So hard.”

A few thoughts on marriage from a slow learner…

I am convinced more than ever that marriages, particularly those in the church, are under attack. And so, I felt led to share a few things I’ve learned as a wife over the years. I’m sure many of you could add more and are welcome to do so in the comments below. Here are mine—Continue reading “A few thoughts on marriage from a slow learner…”

Has God given us over to a debased mind?

He said his “marriage ended in his mind in 2015” though he was still married when recently taking money for lavish vacations and having his famous affair with Fannie Willis. “Ended in his mind” ? The mom says her preteen girl feels that she is a boy and insists everyone refer to her child asContinue reading “Has God given us over to a debased mind?”

We need THIS for all our lives.

As the world continues to slide into chaos, I pick up my Bible and open back to Matthew. Forgiveness, and now divorce. Couldn’t Matthew record some easier teachings of Jesus about now? But I guess I know. It’s actually really clear. Jesus spent His very short time on earth telling us the truth because weContinue reading “We need THIS for all our lives.”

We got in a fight right after I snapped this snugly pic…

About five minutes after I snapped this snuggly pic , we got into a fight. A fight. Yep. Us. And, this fight will likely not be the last. Oh, our disagreements come less often, but even after all these years together, we still have them. I expect, being the two flesh-filled sinners that we are,Continue reading “We got in a fight right after I snapped this snugly pic…”

Because marriage is so good and so hard—

I’ve been posting about marriage the past couple of days. Wives submitting. Husbands loving. There’s been some emotion, and some strong opinions, to say the least. Because marriage is so GOOD and also so HARD, I’m sharing what God laid on my heart a while back— There absolutely will be the days your eyes meetContinue reading “Because marriage is so good and so hard—”

So, how well is your husband measuring up?

Husbands love your wives and do not be bitter towards them. (Col 3:19) And the Greek word Paul used for LOVE here is a really big deal— “Agapao does not denote affection or romantic attachment; it rather denotes caring love, a deliberate attitude of mind that concerns itself with the well-being of the one loved.”Continue reading “So, how well is your husband measuring up?”

Better than a Hallmark Movie

I’d love to go to Biltmore to see the Christmas decorations next weekend, but my husband is planning on duck hunting. I’m kind of upset about that. He’s downstairs watching a football game in the room full of deer heads that don’t go with the rest of the house decor, at all. I’m upstairs lookingContinue reading “Better than a Hallmark Movie”

55 Years. One Man. One Woman.

Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones’ life for his friends.” John 15:13 Oswald Chamber explains, “Sacrifice is the Holy Spirits’ ultimate expression of love.” Marriage tends to have a way of teaching us this kind of sacrificial love. God sure knew what He was doing when HeContinue reading “55 Years. One Man. One Woman.”

We got in a fight right after this pic was snapped….

About five minutes after I snapped this snuggly pic, we got into a fight. A fight. Yep. Us. You know the ones who just this week started premarriage counseling for a couple who have asked my husband to perform their wedding ceremony. Yes. Us. And, this fight will likely not be the last. Oh, ourContinue reading “We got in a fight right after this pic was snapped….”
