I have friends going through difficult times. Some friends are single and healing from past hurts. Some are dealing with the aftermath of divorce. Some are struggling to stay married. I pray for marriage everyday. My marriage, my children’s future spouses, my friends marriages and marriage in general. God designed this special union to illustrate…

Fill my tank
Why do we run on empty and then wonder why we are stressed and burnt out? This was a question posed by my pastor a few months ago. I wrote it down because, while an obvious sentiment, I forget this principle far too often in my busy life. I have been running on empty lately. …
Does life make my butt look big?
Today’s topic is: Does your hubby help you lose weight or hurt you? Can I start off by saying that it is incredibly frustrating to be married to the man that can eat a mixing bowl of cereal right before bed and not gain an ounce? The guy whose 6’2″ self weighed less than my…
When “it” hurts
Blogging has been scarce lately but I am slowly getting back in the swing of things, including joining in for Wifey Wednesday posts about marriage. You can search for other marriage posts I have written by typing Wifey Wednesday or marriage in the search box in the right hand corner of your screen. This week’s…
Meeting Needs
I remember those early days {translate years} of marriage. Those years where I walked around wondering why Mike wasn’t working harder to make me happy, why he wasn’t meeting my needs and whine, whine, whine. Do you notice how many me’s, I’s and my’s are in those questions? As God has grown our marriage and…
Back to submitting
I spent a lot of time broken before God (and my hubby) last night and this morning. It is a long story but it boils down to my flesh wanting something (really bad), rationalizing why it would be a great thing for me to do (for my blog, for my ministry, for ME, ME, ME),…
Moving past your past
Since I was pregnant when my {now} husband and I met, you would think that we would both have been comfortable about each other’s sexual past when we got married. You would think wrong. He had a difficult time knowing that I had been promiscuous since a young age and I had a difficult time…
When you mess up in marriage
Sometimes I think that God is bound and determined for me to air every mistake I have ever made on this here blog ‘o mine. Today the topic for Wifey Wednesday is “When you are the one who blew it”. I have blown it in my marriage. Many times. In many ways. I will share with…
What is women’s work?
I wrote yesterday about how I am surrounded by testosterone in my world. Three sons, hubby, brothers, nephews, etc. So, the topic that Sheila is addressing over at To Love, Honor and Vacuum today is one I have considered more than once. I do believe that the mother, the wife, is responsible for the household…
Having “the talk” with your spouse
Today we are talking sex over at Wifey Wednesday. When I saw the topic I was tempted to skip it. I mean, come on? Who really wants to talk about their sex life on their blog? Not me, that is for sure. But, I immediately felt prompted that there are things I can say about…
