What's New at FamilyLife?

“I don’t know if I’m even going to get up tomorrow.” Has a friend ever confided something similar? It’s unnerving. How do I help a suicidal friend?

We found out that no one is immune from marriage challenges. When we faced a serious conflict, I didn’t know where to turn for help for my marriage.

Wondering which direction you should go with a big decision? Here are six questions to help.

Would I prepare my heart for God to do something new, or would I let old labels and seasons paralyze me?

Our unknowns are known by God, and the very moments we think are scary are opportunities for growing our faith.

Conflict with your spouse is inevitable for all couples. Whoever got the idea into our heads that “marriage should be easy” probably wasn’t married.

Then I asked my wife a question that would change the nature of our relationship forever. I needed her to be more than someone who I did fun things with.

We’d been sufficiently warned. We were working against all the odds to stay together: divorced homes. Demanding careers. And now, a chronically-ill child. 

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.

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

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.
