Guest Posts, Married Life, Single Life
I was honored to write a two complementary posts for Sheology.co on making bold relationship choices in 2020. One is on making bold dating choices and the other is on making bold choices in your marriage. Whatever your bold relationship choices are, grace is the key. I’ve got a short excerpt of each followed by a link to the full …
Christian Life, Married Life
This Thanksgiving, I’m particularly grateful for my husband, Zach. He really is the best and I’m so glad I get to spend the rest of my life (God willing) with him. One of the things I have learned in our life together is that it’s easy to take one another for granted. You actually have to work to be grateful …
Married Life
I recently ran across the hashtag #marriagegoals. The results for that hashtag were a mismatch of things on Instagram (as are all hashtags), but the common thread was things that people either wanted to accomplish in their marriage or wanted for their marriage. This month, we’ve been talking about relationships. It’s helpful to keep the end in mind. We all …
Engagement, Married Life, Single Life
Someone I work with got married in June. After her wedding, she moved a couple of hours away to where her now husband lives. Her last week at work, we all went out to eat to celebrate her. During this outing, she asked myself and a few other married co-workers what advice we would give her about married life. She …
Married Life, Sex
In God’s eyes, sex is only supposed to happen within marriage. We talked a little bit about this in last week’s post, but I wanted to go a little deeper. Not only is sex only supposed to happen only in marriage, but it’s big part of marriage. Let’s be clear, sex is not the most important part of marriage, but …
Married Life
Last week’s post was all about 4 things that are really difficult when you’re single. This week’s is focused on hard things about marriage. To be honest, I thought that being married would be way easier than being single. In some ways, that’s true. There are things that are easier about being married. However, everything in life comes with its …
Christian Life, Life Rhythms, Married Life, Single Life, Theology
Last week’s post was all about life rhythms, that they’re a something that God uses for our good. Even though we should embrace whatever season we’re in right now, it’s okay for us to long for something more, especially in the face of disappointment. In reality, until we get to heaven, we’re always going to be longing for something more. …
Married Life
If you were a fly on the wall during many of my single days (especially as I was in my early twenties) you might have thought that I believed that marriage would solve all my problems. In some ways, I was right. My main problems at the time were not feeling loved or wanted or chosen. Marriage, at least thus …
Married Life, Sex, Single Life
Before I got married, I thought I knew it all when it came to sex. Even though I had never actually done it before Zach and I got married, I was pretty confident in my knowledge. I had read enough marriage books and dating books to think that I knew all the things I needed to know. I guess I …
Married Life
Welcome to Marriage May on the blog! Since wedding season is starting soon/in force now and marriage and May both start with M, I figured it was an appropriate theme for this month. My goal is to share a few things that I learned since I got married for those of you who are married, are getting married, or would …
