    The Best Christian Guide for Fair Fighting in Marriage

    June 11, 2020 /

    Need some strategies for fair fighting in marriage? You’re not alone. Fair fighting takes practice in learning to communicate well and graciously handle conflicts. We sometimes forget we need to practice forgiveness and grace the most is at home. We let down our guard and raise our expectations with our families, which is a recipe for disaster. Marriage can bring out the best in us, but also our worst. We’re living in close quarters with another sinner. Our flaws and quirks are going to bump elbows sometimes. Sometimes, those elbows are going to hit sensitive places and arguments start. For me, it’s been a real work of the Holy Spirit…

    Learn How to Love Your Husband: the Key is Secret Service

    June 2, 2020 /

    Learning how to love your husband can be as simple as secret service. It was the key to unlocking my bitter, angry heart and learning to love my husband again, which, in turn, saved our marriage. What I really needed to learn was how to love your husband according to the Bible! We still really loved each other, but something was very broken. My husband was angry all the time. I was bitter. We could barely talk about anything without bickering, so we didn’t. I did my thing. He did his. We slept in the same bed, but we weren’t any kind of team. (keep reading for how dirty underwear…

    Be Your Best Birthday Gift This Year

    August 21, 2019 /

    Do you want to know what my best birthday gift was this year? It was ME! Let me explain. I love my birthday. Getting one day that is all about me is my jam. But God has really spent the last few years convicting me of how selfish this attitude can be. Can you imagine Peter or Paul expecting a birthday gift or celebrations? Don’t get me wrong, I still avoided most of the housework, stayed in my pajamas a long time, relished a quiet workout in the pool, and enjoyed some fun experiences with friends and family. But I tried my best not to let my desire to enjoy…

    The Best Father’s Day Gift for Your Husband

    June 15, 2019 /

    Is there a best Father’s Day gift for your husband? What is it? A tie? A grill? A fishing trip with his best friends? Nope, the best Father’s Day gift for your husband isn’t a thing. Woo hoo! You mean the best gift I can give my husband on Sunday is free??? Yep, it’s an attitude and you don’t have to wait for Father’s Day either. My husband really enjoys having nice grill tools and quality fishing gear. He loves a new graphic-t or pair of sturdy hiking boots. This CHiPs shirt is such a favorite, that when he stains one, I have to buy him another. But all those…

    My Father’s Day Gift Guide for Budget Minded Mamas

    May 31, 2017 /

    I’m sharing my Father’s day gift guide. Really, I was just shopping but found some great things, so I wanted to share! My husband has been so great to me during some really difficult years. I really want him to know I see him: the hours, the hard work, the little things he does without fanfare or expecting thanks. Yet, I need to be frugal while showing my husband I appreciate him. So, all these gifts are under $40 and most are $25 or less! One way I show my appreciation is by paying attention to little things he needs. On a regular basis, I replace his socks, toothpaste, and favorite…
