In most cases, we want to be first. The first in line. The first to accomplish something. The first to figure out the complicated equation. I like being first, don’t you? Can we apply this principle to marriage? Follow me here… The sport my oldest son chose was boxing. I cringed every time he got […]
Have you ever met someone who impacted you in such a way that it caused you to reevaluate who you were? It was random. During a “girls’ retreat week” Susan and I would be sharing a room. The first thing I noticed about her was that she was beautiful and not the teenage hot kind […]
I was mad at my husband. He had come home really tired and slightly cranky. We had agreed to go to an author event at the Barnes & Noble where I’d be having my author event. Mike was selfless enough to go with me as soon as he arrived home. But that’s not what I […]
I was reading each day’s post to my husband. These posts were very special to me. My publisher offered a 7-Day Marriage Challenge taken from my book. I signed up. Yes, I signed up for the marriage challenge that I wrote! Kind of funny, huh? As the challenges showed up in my inbox I read […]

And this week guess who is the guest speaker about marriage? Y’all it’s me! If you want to strengthen your marriage today, with easy doable […]
I walked into my kitchen, saw a pile of dirty dishes and thought… He [my husband] doesn’t love me. After 34 years of being in a devoted and faithful marriage, and a kitchen with dirty dishes turns me into an insecure high school girl who just found out her boyfriend forgot their three-month anniversary. What […]
A few weeks back I wrote a post titled Food Affects My Marriage. With it I got a tremendous outpouring of love and support for which I am truly grateful. I believe that a big part of conquering our struggles is admitting it to others. In doing so I’ve heard from many of you who […]
