Truths about nagging: Nag is defined as: annoy or irritate (a person) with persistent fault-finding or continuous urging. Nagging comes easily. Nagging isn’t biblical.

Can I Be Honest With You?
I just want to share part of my story. Maybe this will encourage you. Maybe it’ll make you think I’m crazy. I got married young. I had an okay example of marriage from my parents. My husband didn’t have a godly example, so we both had/have a lot to learn. My home life was a… Continue reading Can I Be Honest With You?
The Problem With a 50/50 Marriage
It is not biblical. This is the basis of this problem. Everything else stems from this truth. Did you vow to your spouse to keep score and require them always to do as much as you do in this marriage? No, of course, you didn’t. Did you purchase scorecards to exchange during the ceremony, allowing… Continue reading The Problem With a 50/50 Marriage
Intimacy in Marriage
*Disclaimer: This list is based on Scripture and personal experiences from 15 years of marriage. These are general guidelines to help your intimacy to thrive rather than survive. This is also on the understanding of mutual respect. Suppose one spouse is sick, recovering from surgery or childbirth, suffering from physical limitations, menstrual cramps/discomfort, etc., the… Continue reading Intimacy in Marriage
Help meet Vs. Help mate
Our vocabulary today is much different than that of the original Old Testament. While these two words seem very similar, I feel there is a difference, and that’s why God chose “help meet.” Commonly, these two phrases are used interchangeably. The KJV uses “help meet” in Genesis 2:18 and 2:20, so that is the phrase… Continue reading Help meet Vs. Help mate
Maintaining a Healthy Marriage
As with any type of health-related thing, it takes effort and planning. However, all of the planning, organizing, and good ideas are useless if we never start putting them into practice. Just start. There will be off days. Days you are tired. Days when the temptation to quit is strong. Keep going. If you do… Continue reading Maintaining a Healthy Marriage
Is the Lord Your Savior?
Is the Lord Your Savior? I live in southeast Tennessee, and when you ask someone if they are saved, most people will say yes, followed by their reasoning. They respond with statements such as, “Granddaddy was a preacher,” “I have always believed in God,” “I was raised in church,” or “I am trying to live… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Savior?
Arise & Build
What is God asking you to build as a Christian, wife, and mother? Your faith? Your home? Your testimony? The heritage you are leaving for your children and grandchildren? I believe now, more than ever, women are under attack. Our femininity and place in the home are mocked and belittled. It is time to arise… Continue reading Arise & Build
But Will You Let Him?
As wives, we have this idea that submission to our husbands means we lose who we are. Biblically, that is not true. Submission is really just saying yes to God, by saying yes to our husbands and letting them have the final say. It is letting them walk out the authority and responsibility God has… Continue reading But Will You Let Him?

And I can start recovering financially from Christmas and a child’s December birthday (Hallelujah!). If this was a challenging year for you, it feels like a breath of fresh air to… Continue reading Saying “Yes” in 2023
