More Than The Wedding ~ Completing Him Challenge

    We are in week three of the Completing Him Challenge. Since I still haven't figured out the whole "web cam" thing I am having to resort to good old fashioned writing. This week we are focusing on the actual wedding. Do we remember the vows we spoke to one another? What of the [...]

Completing Him Challenge: Week 2

  I thought for the topic this week, Captivating Your Husband, I would try a "vlog", using the web cam. Unfortunately for some reason my voice and the video are not "in synch" but I'm posting it anyway. Feel free to turn it on and minimize the picture (unless you really enjoy "bad Japanese film" [...]

Free to Forgive

Today is "Wifey Wednesday" over at Sheila Gregoire's blog To Love, Honor, and Vaccum, and the day when she takes a look at marriage, what it means to be a wife, how to handle issues in marriage, etc. Today she is taking a look at when the wife is the one who's caused the problem [...]

Completing Him Challenge

My friend, Sheri over at The Shades of Pink, is participating in a new Summer marriage challenge and I thought I'd join in as well. The Completing Him Challenge from Courtney of Women Living Well is encouraging us each to be the wife our husband needs and what our marriages should look like. The idea [...]

Not So Much Opposites as Complements!

There is a common saying in regard to people who appear to be "opposites". Opposites attract! I think over the years many people have determined that my husband and I seem to epitomize this truth. My husband is an extrovert, a kind of "rebel". He likes to push the envelope. He's the guy who had [...]

Talk To Da Hand!

  Today is Wifey Wednesday over at the To Love Honor and Vaccum, blog of author/speaker Sheila Gregoire, and she is talking about the importance of marriage vows and being willing to stick with em even when our spouse is acting less than desirable.  It is no secret that marriage is not the easy, peasy "love conquers [...]

My Husband Says “Just Ask Me”

    So I was over at To Love Honor and Vaccum this morning, the blog of author/speaker Sheila Gregoire, where she is talking about whether there is or should be a differentiation between "men's work" and "women's work". You know what I'm talking about I'm sure. "Woman's work" = She cleans the house, makes the meals, [...]

Old Scars Still Twinge Every Now And Again

This past weekend my husband and I were volunteering at Rock the Coast, a one day Christian music festival at Michigan's Adventure Park. In theory we were there to help watch a booth for Youth Advocate Resources.  Of course, what really ended up happening was I stayed at the booth while my husband wandered about [...]

Let Him Be Your Hero

       Do you know what I've learned about my husband over the past twenty-one years of marriage?  He wants to be my hero.   Now, we all know that the over romanticized notions of the perfect husband or wife who always knows exactly what their spouse needs is a myth. However, there is one thing [...]

Never Stop Praying For Your Spouse

If there is one thing I have learned over the past twenty-one years of marriage it's this…never stop praying. I know that my marriage…which went through five years of separation and near divorce…is whole and thriving today because of prayer. When my husband first called me after three years of nearly no contact and wanted [...]
