Never do I hear the old Alan Jackson song "Remember When" without getting a little teary eyed. It's a special song for several reasons, but I love the picture of a couple looking back over their lives together to see the overarching theme of love regardless of the changing circumstances. In our marriages, it's important to purposefully "remember… Continue reading Remember When

Connecting With Your Husband

Blessing Your Family
Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered. Proverbs 11:25 It's easy to think that we do enough for our families as wives and mothers.

Ordering Your Priorities In Marriage
The other day while scrolling through the "about" section of my personal Facebook profile, I noticed the cursor turned into the little four-way arrow thing that means "you can move this around."

Last weekend we had a "big" date night. My husband is a huge fan of The Phantom of the Opera.

Date Night Challenge Update – Asking Questions
My husband and I committed to spending time together, one-on-one, once a week for the year 2014. We don't have children, but our work schedules are almost always flip-flopped. If we're not careful, we can end up exchanging the days' news and going to bed without really spending any quality time together. Sound familiar? One… Continue reading Date Night Challenge Update – Asking Questions
Date Night Challenge Update
As I was planning this week's date night, I came across a great quote on my Date Night Ideas board. "It's all in how you approach your relationship. Choose joy! Choose gratitude! Choose forgiveness! Choose love!" I love to watch couples interact, particularly couples with good relationships. Recently I've been "studying" a couple with personalities similar… Continue reading Date Night Challenge Update
Accepting Help
I will admit, I’m a control freak and a perfectionist when it comes to my home. I want things to look a certain way, and I’ve come to the realization that if I want it that way I have to do it myself. I should not expect my husband to do things exactly how I… Continue reading Accepting Help
