Please read my answer to a sister who has been hurt by her husband’s affair and is tired of being flooded by painful memories.
All in Forgiveness
The Truth doesn’t Hurt - Sin Does
“The truth and nothing but the truth”- should be a bedrock principle in all Christian marriages.
Keep reading as we look at how the truth will truly set you free!
Has Selfishness Moved into Your Marriage?
Selfishness is the basis of almost all marital discord. If I had a penny for each time I said, “love each other (1 Peter 1:8)” to Christian couples who wanted to punch their spouses light out, I’d be a millionaire!
Naked
Being naked is more than just being without clothing. It is the state of being exposed, unprotected and vulnerable. Being naked, or the fear of it, can reveal the status of your heart. The degree in which you allow yourself to be transparent is a tell-tale sign of how comfortable you are with those in your marriage, family and community. Keep reading friend!
Are You Hiding?
Are you hiding today? We hide for many reasons. In terms of our sins- we hide because we do not believe God will forgive us. We do not understand who God is! As Christians, in terms of our marriage- we hide because we do not trust the spirit of God inside our spouse. We do not believe the vows spoken for “better or worse” and think we must live in a facade of “better.” Keep reading, friends!
Does your Marriage Stink?
Would your marriage pass the SNIFF test? Does it have the aroma of Christ’s love or the stink of selfishness? Keep reading!
Dear Eat Up with Guilt,

Dear Broken Beyond Repair,
Life can be cruel and leave scars on our lives making marriage and family life even more difficult. These scars can only be healed through the power and love of God. Allow His Spirit, the Great Comforter, to do His job to calm your anxieties and heal your heart! Keep reading friends!
Dear Shocked,
I read a statistic the other day that said 90% of men have viewed pornography. The internet is filled with it. If this is an issue in your marriage there is help, keep reading!
Dear Heartbroken,
A marriage that honors God can be challenging. A marriage that is unequally yoked is even more challenging. Please be encouraged as I share a little of God’s word for you if you find yourself in this situation.
Dear Believing For a Miracle,
Affairs happen, but they do not always have to lead to divorce. Keep reading as one brave sister is hoping for God to do a redemptive work in her marriage!
I Choose to NOT be Offended!
Marriage is tough. It takes more than love and respect, a 10 step program, learning how to negotiate or speaking each others love language. Ultimately it requires us to make a choice to not be offended. It requires letting go of trying to be right and pursuing God and His righteousness. Keep reading, friend!
Give it a rest- and Forgive!
Living in the state of unforgiveness stunts your spiritual growth and eventually, sister, it will isolate you and rob you of your joy! It’s time to forgive!
What are you afraid of?
I believe that fear plays a role in the dysfunction of many marriages today. Deep inside each one of us is a need for attachment with another human. Keep reading as I explore the effect fear may have on your marriage.
Average Joe
Each time I watch the Olympics, I always have the same thought- we need an average Joe. If I was in charge I would insist we start each event with a random drawing from the list of spectators- “Would the person sitting in Section F, Row 16, Seat 7 please report to the starting line or the ice rink, whatever the event.” Then we would all watch as the average Joe, someone like us, attempted the event.
