Our son Andrew was tired, really disappointed by a friend, qnd he had homework he didn’t want to do. Angry tears dripped down his cheeks while he worked on his assignments, revealing there was something more bubbling under the surface. My husband sat across the...

I believe it all began in the streets of Paris. I was younger, single, and relatively free from responsibility. Back then I was studying in France and getting lost in the Louvre. Later I would meet the man I’d marry and we returned to Paris on business. Not that it...

We wives can be such chatterboxes. And so often we try to use our words to show our husbands love and respect. Or to tell them just how crazy we still are about them. Sadly, we also at times use our words to wound; a weapon to throw when we feel hurt or ignored or...

Going into the long weekend, I know that many families will be spending a little extra time together. I thought it would be a great time to remind all of us to give our husbands some praise and encouragement. Courtney Joseph says it all so well in her video below. I...

I suppose I took it for granted. After all, I had been a missionary in Africa. Graduated from seminary. He was heavily involved in Christian publishing. We were both serious about our faith. A spiritual match made in heaven. You’d think. Yeah, I figured our...

My husband and I would never have been friends if we had met in high school. I was a rule-follower, he was a rule-breaker. I was obedient, compliant, and rarely got in trouble. Joe never did any homework. He mouthed off to the teachers, ran with the rough crowd, had...

A year ago, we moved into a quaint and modest three-bedroom brick house. Built in the 1920s, it’s a beautiful home for its age, but it also has its bumps and bruises. Like anything, time takes its toll. But it has, and still, endures. If you have ever bought anything...
