I love to share individual stories, as I can, that bring glory to God. Even about extreme situations. This is one wife’s story is about what God led her to do in her specific situation. Everything she did isn’t a blanket post for all wives with husbands who are drug addicts. But I am so thankful for […]
I don’t think of myself as having any big health issues. I do have some problems, but, to me, they are very small in the grand scheme of things. Obviously, many people have vastly more difficult health issues than I do. But just for the sake of transparency, for those who may be interested, I […]
This post is merely a brief introduction to this weighty topic of dealing with a physical, sexual affair. It would take a book to do this issue proper justice. I cannot possibly touch on all of the things a wife would need to do in such a situation in one post. And what works for one […]
The way you approach your husband makes a massive difference in the way he will respond to you. There are unhealthy, destructive ways to ask your husband for something that is very important to you – and there are healthy, productive ways.
