Marriage Challenge: Focus on His Needs
In this Marriage Challenge, Day 2, we’re going to focus on his needs. Learn to walk beside him, helping him, and ensuring he has what he needs. In the everyday of life we get caught up in meeting the needs of everyone around us. Sometimes it’s the needs of our children, other times it’s the needs of friends or neighbors. We might even discover that we are so busy doing work for the church, acts of service, and general charitable deeds for others that we realize we’ve missed the mark when it comes to being a wife.

That Kind of Love
Recently I was with another woman and we were watching a romance movie. At the end of the movie she was crying and said, “Don’t you wish you had that kind of love?” My response was, “I do.” She was like, “Really?” I said, “Yeah.” I thought for a moment and then said, “What do you mean by, that kind of love?” She responded with, “You know, someone who will love you know matter what, will always be there for you when you need them and won’t give up even when it seems like there is no hope.” I smiled and said, “Yeah, I have that kind of love.

Marriage Moment: Lessons Learned from Foolish Arguments In the midst of a recent argument with my Beloved, I kept thinking to myself, this is the dumbest argument we’ve ever had. I knew it in my heart, and yet, we continued to escalate until we were screaming at each other. I also knew that he certainly was not thinking the argument was of any value. However, we simply could not seem to stop. Such foolish arguments in marriage are common. There we were standing in our bedroom arguing about light bulbs.

He’s such a good man, my husband. I am so very thankful that the Lord has blessed me with such a loving, caring, giving and wonderful man. When I read verses such as……

Marriage Moment: A Call to Serve
A Call to Serve with Purity in Marriage We live in a culture where marriage the way that God intended it has come under attack. Whether it is from the increased rate of divorce or the social change that seemingly is being forced upon us as Satan attempts to crush God’s plan for the sanctity of marriage through sinful homosexual practices, through pornography which deceives and harms and tears down so many marriages, through adultery and evil sexual practices. If he can tear down the marriage he can tear down the nation. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom…

Marriage Travel: Going and Coming
When Married Couples Travel Separately Occasionally a husband and wife have to leave each for various reasons. Perhaps the wife needs to go and spend time with her family or he must go away for business. This past weekend was such an occasion for Beloved and I. He stayed home with Little Man, and on Saturday had a freelance job to attend to, while I traveled with a friend to a homeschool convention in Cincinnati. I loved my time with my friend Jen and I enjoyed my time at the convention. I loved lingering in the bed on Saturday morning with my feet up and not rushing from here…
