What Makes a Happy Wife?
One of the many highlights of marriage manifests itself when your spouse spontaneously says: “Your beautiful!” Dressed in your pajamas, with hair up and a make-up-less face, you inquisitively reply: “Thank You, even looking like this?” “I mean on the inside and the outside”, he lovingly acknowledges after many years of marriage, “but even more… Continue Reading
Individual Worth and Marriage
Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. (1 Cor. 7:3) I’ve been thinking of what to post on this month, especially with the theme of Individual Worth. Then I started thinking about husbands and individual worth.

Dead Broke Dating
Ah, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Birds are singing, rainbows are spanning the sky, cupid’s arrows are darting through the air, and the world is breaking into song and dance to the thrumming beat of lover’s hearts.

How Kind Are You to Your Spouse?

If only the light would have clicked on EARLIER!
I contemplated what my next topic should be. Most would say COMMUNICATION, right? I mean, I want to talk on that…but that is not what I feel I should approach…yet… Should it be on Marriage? Should it be on Family? What about just a child’s development? What about something that works for ALL three? When… Continue Reading
Happy Anniversary To Me…& My Hubby
On January 18,2009, my hubby and I will celebrate 18 years of marriage. It’s hard to believe that we have known each other for over 20 years now. Time flies by! I’m very thankful for the great life I have had with Greg and hope we have many, many more. Greg and I were married… Continue Reading
5 positives to 1 negative
I think studying Marriage for my Bachelor’s degree was very insightful, but it was also an obsession that could only be sated by a bunch of information and deep study. I was engaged when I finished my last semester at Brigham Young University (BYU) and I was looking forward to taking what seemed to be… Continue Reading
