Your marriage is not a DIY project
Have you ever tried to do a DIY project? Honestly, I feel like I am somewhat of a creative mind, but when it comes to DIY projects (hello Pinterest) I’m like a first-grader learning how to write in cursive. Spoon rings A few Christmas’ ago I tried to do spoon rings for my Young Life girls. Easy-peasy right? Get a few sterling silver spoons from…
3 Ps That Can Poison Your Marriage (Part 1)
Pennies, perversion, and pride. Selena and I have experienced each ‘poison’ for sure; there’s no getting around it.

Christ’s Love Compels Us: Are we loving our spouses the way God intended?

Book Review: Wife After God | A 30-Day Marriage Devotional for Wives
I don’t even know how to start this review. The Wife After God devotional literally put words to my heart and I am anxious to reread it AGAIN.
