7 Reasons Why You Need Someone Else in Your Marriage

You want to find joy and delight in your marriage. But you’ll never be able to accomplish this alone in the four walls of your home together.

Many blended family weddings incorporate a ceremony called “blending of the sands.” But in reality it does not mean they have obtained “familyness.”

In your marriage, will you be the gardener or the consumer?

Rejection in blended families hurts and is discouraging. What is needed is the resolve to keep going and a few helpful tools.

What started as an online affair devastated their marriage. Could they find renewal after infidelity?

As bad as your situation might be, it is not beyond God’s power to fix.

A new job. Losing a baby. A new house. Or a spouse’s confession. We can’t see what the new year may bring, but we can trust God to write our story.

We’re in the practice of resolutions. These prayers for the New Year will move us toward spiritual renewal too.

My wife of 10 years told me she didn’t love me anymore. I would have said our marriage was a 10 out of 10. How was I so blind to the deadness of her heart?

In only a few short months, we had gone from gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes to glaring at each other with anger and disgust, each wondering – and not only to ourselves – if we had married the wrong person.

Christmas is for the broken, the lonely and forgotten, and the misfits.

As much as we hope we’ll become idyllic people during this idyllic season, our struggles refuse to take a holiday.

The Christmas season didn’t kick off quite how we had planned after receiving the text from our son … “I’m not coming.”

Having fantasy arguments in your head or Facebook fights with toxic people? It’s tiring! But defending your reputation might not be worth your time.

It’s hard to get romantic in your mother-in-law’s living room, kids snoring around you on sleeping bags. Still, sneaking in sex over the holidays is doable.

Manipulation is a mind game leaving you wondering: Is my spouse manipulating me? We all have unhealthy ways to get what we want. So it’s worth considering.

Peer pressure can be subtle. Other times your child’s friend sports a Michael Kors bag. Or their second grade class splits into boyfriend-girlfriend duos.

Satan is our real enemy, and he would love to divide our marriages through suspicion, jealousy, disrespect, and resentment.
