What do these 3 words really mean?
When you hear “I love you”. What do you hear? Do you hear: “I desire the best for you”? “I will always do whatever I can to see that you are well’? “You are very precious to me”? “You are free to be yourself around me. Even with your flaws”? These are what we hope…

When you got married, you brought a lot of good things into the union. Your spouse brought some too!!! But you also brought some emotional wounds!!

Marriage is not STUPID!!
Here is a comment from my Facebook page some weeks ago. Obviously, Michael feels hurt, cheated, and taken for granted.

The beginning…
Every day I hear the same things from different people. And what they say reminds me of this story about the fall. The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” Gen 3:12 ESV “I am not happy because my wife is…

Say “I miss you..”
Have you realized that it is much easier to say, “You are always working.” “You don’t think about us”. “You never notice me”. Than to say, “I miss you”? “I always love it when someone tells me how beautiful I am”? “I wish I could go watch a movie with a special person from time…

How to hug a porcupine!
I found a book with this title on my Facebook feed yesterday. The title is an apt description of what I have coached some people through in my program. So I bought the audiobook immediately. Don’t we all need to learn how to hug a porcupine? Although the book was written from a secular point…

What are you sowing?
We all want to be loved. We want to be valued for who we are. We want to be free to be all we were created to be. We want people to see us beyond our errors and failures. We crave emotional connection with at least one person. But we don’t know how to get…

Resist the Devil..
I believe the devil will do anything to stop a believer from being effective. That includes you, your spouse and your children (if applicable). The pain of hurtful words, uncaring attitudes, wasteful behaviors, spiritual immaturity, emotional disconnection and otherwise are being used by the devil for one purpose. To slow you down and if possible…

One Key to Joy..
One of the major keys to joy in life (not only marriage) is the ability to forgive quickly. If you learn to forgive quickly, you will find that you are constantly moving forward, and hurt feelings will not keep you bound for days, weeks, months, or even years. Take note that to forgive is not:…

Do you believe?
That you have God’s unfailing and unrelenting love within you? … God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:5 ESV. This God’s love in you can overcome unimaginable hardship and fill you with unspeakable joy! But most of us do not enjoy it…

Yes! It could be..
Changing your marriage could be as simple as: Waking up every morning and saying, Good morning darling…(with a hug or kiss) to your spouse… Regardless of what happened or did not happen yesterday! I know that it’s simple but not easy (Do you know why?). Blessings. -Ade
