“Pride is a slippery sin,” Leslie Vernick writes in her book, How to Act Right When Your Spouse Acts Wrong. Often, we don’t even realize it’s there, and by the time we head down that slope, we don’t even know how to get back out.
How does that happen? Well, Satan is a deceiver. [...]

Love is so important! And I’m not talking about the mushy-gushy, lovey-dovey, stars in your eyes romantic love.

What is your husband’s greatest need?
I was asked this question during our pre-marital counseling, and actually, I answered it wrong! What my pastor gently pointed out was that all husbands need ADMIRATION and RESPECT, first and foremost.
The apostle Paul states it pretty clearly in both Ephesians 5:22-24 and Colossians 3:18. The role of [...]

Today Jason and I led Edge, the pre-teen ministry at our church. It’s usually run by 3 amazing teenagers, but we like to give them a break once a month. Besides, these are the kids who will be in the youth group in a few years, so it’s nice to be building those relationships.
