I often tell people that even if I got paid, I wouldn’t relive the year my husband and I were engaged. We dealt with everything from family feuds, to jobs quit, and beyond. I probably cried more in that year than the rest of my life put together. Everyone talked about what a beautiful time…

I don’t cry much, and this video had me in tears! The love that this couple had developed over the course of 75 years is so inspiring. The part that really stood out to me, was when he talks about how lucky he felt that his wife gave him 75 years of her life. He…
Sometimes I’m just too angry to pray. Sometimes I just don’t want my heart to change. I want to stay angry. I don’t want to be peaceful—I just want to scream. I want to scream at the top of my lungs and collapse into a puddle of tears. At times I can just feel the…
Kyle and I have only been married a year, and have already been flooded with questions about when we’ll have kids. No babies yet? Are you pregnant yet? Why are you waiting? The first few times, it’s cute, but it quickly gets old. I see these questions get asked of other couples quite frequently, and…

At my bridal shower, strips of paper were laid out with notes for all of the wives to leave “advice for the bride.” I was blessed to be left with over 40 strips of paper with beautiful advice from so many wives. I’ve decided to start up a series and go through each of the…
Blogging often causes me to think about all of the things I should be doing, but sometimes I forget about the things I shouldn’t be doing. I want to clue you in on one thing: I’m a real loser sometimes. In fact, I feel like a pretty terrible wife at times. I do try to…
Growing in God’s Word together is one of the best things you can do to strengthen your marriage. However, sometimes it can be overwhelming when you don’t know where to start. Luckily there are so many resources out there that walk you through the process. Before we got married, Kyle and I went through Love &…
Being a new wife, I often feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. Luckily I’m not alone in the struggles I face, since there are so many others who have experienced struggles and taken the time to write out their experiences for the benefit of others. I’ve found many Christian authors to be…
