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),…
Sleeping with the dogs
I lay, nuzzled in the crook of my beloved’s arm. The rhythmic beat of his heart begins to lull me to sleep. Then, it happens. A little white furball (aka a 5 lb mini schnauzer named Chloe) needs to change positions and places her rump right under my chin. My husband’s chest moves, as he begins to…
Trust and Obey
There has been a lot of buzz around the blogosphere regarding this challenge for married women. I grew up influenced by my very liberal grandmother. She has a PhD in political science and has experienced a great deal of success and advancement in her career. I love and respect her for that. And I…
Living Sacrifices in Marriage
Today, Sheila did a wonderful job today exposing some of the misconceptions about men and women common in today’s society. I encourage you to take a moment and read her thoughts. Her writing prompted me to think about how gender roles have affected my mindset and my marriage. First things first- I am a girly girl. Always…
Living with me
I heard John and Staci Eldredge as the question: What is it like to live with you? They suggested you ask this question of your spouse. I’ll let you in on a little secret. I don’t want to ask Mike what it is like to live with me. I can hardly stand to live with…
Controlling? Me? Never!
Sheila does this every week….picks a topic for Wifey Wednesday that I strongly resonate with (maybe a little too strongly in this case). Today’s topic is “Losing the control freak inside you”. I read that title to my darling hubby as I prepared to type out this post and he laughed. Hard. I will preface…
Marriage Tips for Beginners
Image via Wikipedia Mike and I will celebrate our 13th anniversary in July. Every year we celebrate the fact that we have beat the odds, particularly for how young we were when we got married. Today Sheila encouraged us to look back and think about what we wish we had known when we first became…
Did I settle? or did God know just what He was doing?
I haven’t participated in Wifey Wednesday in a while but the topic today struck a chord with me. And you know what happens when a cord is struck? I write. (and write and edit and write and so on) …but it does mean that if you’re not happy in your marriage, perhaps we should stop…
