It has been a blessing to countless marriages and he has written a number of books in the same vein […]
The past two Mondays, we have examined the topics, “Am I Too Chatty with My Husband?” and “What Do I Do with My Desire for More Verbal/Emotional Connection?” For some of us, we struggle with talking too much.

This is the second part of this series on talkativeness and wives.

That is one of our greatest needs as wives. Husbands want to feel safe in every way with us, too. Men have certain […]
A good test of whether the Spirit of God is in control in my heart – or my sinful nature is in control – is how I respond when people do things that tend to annoy me. I’m going to share some examples of ways we could respond that would be godly (as long as […]
