6/30/2016

The other day I found my sweet husband standing on the kitchen counter washing the blinds. Like deep-cleaning the blinds. The dirty, dusty, I-haven't-cleaned-these-ever blinds. Yes, he is that amazing. He proceeded to go around and to deep-clean all the blinds on the first floor of our home. Without complaining. And without mentioning his disgust at how dirty they have become! (Did I mention how attractive a husband cleaning blinds is? WHOA...) Are you curious what the very best thing is that you can do for your spouse? Drumroll please...the very best thing you can do for your husband or wife is to...

10 Ways to Choose Joy in Marriage - In my almost eight years of marriage, I have learned that there are certain things that invite joy into my life and marriage, and there are other things that drain me of joy. I’ve also learned that joy isn’t circumstantial. It is a choice. Each of us is meant to have joy. Each of us is meant to truly live a full and meaningful life - now.

3 Ways to Nurture Unity in Marriage

Such a great article about unity in marriage. In order to learn to be a team, you have to recognize that as husband and wife you are equals. Neither of you is better than the other. His method of washing dishes may be different than yours, but that doesn’t mean your method is the best way, or the only way. Unity doesn’t diminish the individual, it combines all the good about each of you and brings that together to form a powerful team.

It's late, and you and your beautiful-babe-of-a-wife aren't talking to each other (again). It all started a few hours ago, when she came home and immediately chewed you out over something totally petty and silly. You knew she was worn out and stressed and that she was just taking it out on you, but you snapped back at her and called her immature, among other things. You pointed out her faults to protect yourself, and she withdrew in tears. 3 Important Things to Remember About Forgiveness in Marriage

5 Tips to Help You Live a Full & Meaningful Life Now - Whenever I hear a tragic story like the ones mentioned above, I remember how precious life is. I remember how quickly it can change. And I'm inspired to live more fully, to live with gratitude in my heart, and to live without regrets. We are only given one life to live and it's important that we don't waste the time we have on things that don't really matter. It is wise to take time on a regular basis to be still and to prioritize what matters most to us. We can learn to live a more full and meaningful life when we rid our lives of the things that leave us feeling empty, and instead, fill our lives with the things that help us feel full - mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically and relationally. #goals #dreams #life

Why Communication Won't Save Your Marriage (Part 2) - What Will

11/11/2015

Why Communication Won't Save Your Marriage (Part 2) - Here’s the trick: We all have insecurities and fears in our relationships that we need help overcoming. When you can help soothe each others’ anxieties about where you stand in the relationship you can avoid eruptions that turn into fights. When we sooth each other, we can feel calm and discuss issues calmly and safely, instead of from a place of fear and reactivity. So basically, you are trying to respond to your partner’s needs and give your partner the chance to respond to you by expressing your needs to them.

Why Communication Won't Save Your Marriage (Part 1) - SUCH A FASCINATING ARTICLE! When you ask just about any couple for advice about how to succeed in marriage, their first response is usually, “It’s all about communication. You can’t expect your partner to read your mind!” While this advice is fine-I mean, it’s definitely not going to hurt your marriage-research the past few decades has shown in that that answer also misses the boat. By a long shot. A recent study showed that couples’ marital satisfaction after attending a 15-hour workshop where they worked on their communication and love “skills,” returned to where their satisfaction level had been before they even attended - after only a short amount of time. This could be disheartening to read…If communication isn’t helping my marriage, then what else is left to try?

In this short clip, an engaged couple is given make-overs to show how they will look as the years pass by. It's quite touching...and a little bit funny (let's be honest, his hair?), but it definitely invites reflection and pondering about the commitment of marriage, and the joy that comes from sharing a full life together.
