Your marriage is meant to thrive! I create actionable resources to help the newlywed and early-wed wife draw closer to God & her husband.
If you think your husband is texting, calling, pursuing, confiding in or generally encouraging a borderline relationship with another woman, be aware Just because a woman is coming on to your husband doesn’t mean your husband asked for it, is encouraging it or is interested in her. This is for the wife who’s “best friend” is chatting up her husband, and she feels pressured to keep the woman in her life because she’s being told (by the friend and her husband) that there’s nothing going on between the two of them. Well listen, if my best friend hinted that she’s uncomfortable with my association with her husband, I would drop the connection with her husband like a hot potato. You might say something like I love you and want to make love, but I feel like our intimacy and trust has been shattered.
In a section about “meeting my fears”, I wrote the following; “I am afraid of being sick forever/struggling with a condition because the process is physically painful and I feel limited in everything – networking and growing the business, leaving the house, making new friends, serving at church e.t.c” Yesterday, I re-read those words and God reminded me of something He said to me a few months ago. Then He spoke that Word to me: that He only required me to be faithful where I was. Accepting God is not only glorified when I am delivered from a trial: He is also glorified while I am in the kiln, being made: when I allow Him to use what was meant to break me to make me.’ There’s a point to all of these. As long as you are here, God doesn’t expect more than He has gifted you.
Recently I became aware of pretense creeping into my marriage. I caught myself doing the “yes dear” dance; nodding my head while my mind is in the clouds, feigning presence while caught up in something else, taking things lightly instead of taking them to heart
Have you ever trusted God for something and stepped out in faith only to have it blow up on your face? (seemingly) I have. I have trusted and stepped out, only to feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life
