Why is it so easy to pretend that everything is going so well when privately we know that we are hurting or that there is something seriously wrong with our relationships? Why? Because our society rewards and celebrates success and runs from vulnerability and weakness.

So, are there cracks in yo...

Fix your leaking tire over and over again by putting air in it or drop it off at the tire shop to prepare it for getting new tires? Which makes more sense?

Cars drive themselves and airplanes have autopilot. The amount of technology it takes to keep a plane in the air and a self driving car on the road boggles the mind! Yet, in the middle of both of those is one of the most low tech pieces of equipment that was orginally developed in the 1800's. It's one of the most important pieces of equipment and that's why it's still used and mandated today. The seatbelt. Simple, yet it will save your life. So, what about your marriage?

None of us are exactly alike. We all have facets of our personalities, beliefs and behaviors that define who we are and what we value. Because of this, there are so many things that make us different than our spouses and annoy us even though we were attracted to the differences we originally saw in them. Yes, we said “I do” to each other, but we didn’t say “I will” with the intention to become just like the one we married. It’s those differences in marriage, especially in the areas where we m...

We live in a world where if someone has a talent, a platform, athleticism or beauty then we suddenly feel like we have to build them an altar and worship them for what could possibly be God given, superficial or fake. Even if what they have is real, should we really be pouring our attention and adoration on people who may ultimately fail us? Maybe not. What if there was a real hero who was worth our attention that could change our marriage in ways we never dreamed? Guess what? There is....

Everyday it’s easy to get pulled away and distracted from the things that God has given us to focus on, to get pulled out of the lane He wants us to stay in. It’s something that every marriage has to fight against and be aware of in order to keep the right things in view and to not lose sight of the finish line. What does God have for you and how can you avoid stumbling, slowing down, and ultimately dropping out of the race that we are all called to run as followers of Jesus? It’s a race and ...

In the same way, our marriages need a ch...

What if you did something bad and then tried to cover it up, tried to pretend it never happened. Well, if you're human you have likely done that many times throughout your life.
