Pastors, leaders, church-goers... Encourage one another in your marriages weekly! Talk about it. Pray about it. Don't let marriage problems go unspoken until they are totally broken!

Wishing and working are different... Good intentions are only good when they translate into actions. Even LITTLE actions are a good start! Start baby-steps towards what you wish for today!

The house and children aren't solely my responsibility. And the chaos isn't entirely mine, either. My husband, Greg, is an equal partner with equal responsibility. He's not simply "helping" me.

Take care of the little foxes. Don't get too comfortable in the company of the opposite s*x who are not your spouse

They were good Christian people. Respected by others in their church. Married to great spouses. Beautiful kids. So how did they end up in bed together? Every form of adultery starts with casual contact. Working on a church committee together, a series of innocent lunches at the office, regular meeti...

Find. A. Way.
Make something happen, even something inexpensive and simple - a walk, a quiet dinner for two after the kids are in bed, a day-date during school - something! You need this.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (ESV).

Love never says: One mistake (or 10) and we’re through. 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is longsuffering. Love hangs in there for the long haul and is patient with mistakes and shortcomings. (How patient has God been with you, as you appraise the lesser moments of others?)

Real forgiveness in many marriages is in short supply these days . . . which makes sense because who in their right mind wants to set themselves up for having their heart stepped on . . . again? Have you ever struggled with forgiveness? Forgiving someone who has hurt you is unnatural. It doesn't fee...
