Christian Mentor, Bible Teacher, Speaker, Women’s ministry advisor, mom to 3, and Grammy to 7 sweet babies who are the light of my life. I see you and I get you, because I’ve been there. As a young wife it was important to me to have a strong, loving marriage, but I didn’t come from a Christian home so there was no example to follow for how to achieve that. All I knew was that I wanted a better marriage and family life than what I grew up in. Over the years the Lord has taught me how to find biblical answers to life’s questions in His Word and to rely on His wisdom, not the world’s for guidance and direction in my life. When we know His Word and apply it to our lives, then we will truly have peace as we trust our Heavenly Father for our marriages. This is what living out our faith is all about and it can bring you to new heights, life changing experiences, and amazing blessings in your life that you thank God for everyday. He did it for me and He wants to do it for you. Are you ready for it? Then grab some coffee, pull up a chair next to mine and let’s get started!

We all want love, affection and closeness in our marriages. We remember the way things were when we were dating or first married and want it to stay that way.
As we talked about in part 1, when this begins to change or when our marriages are not what we expected, we try to bring about change. However, we find that our efforts are not having the effect we want them to and we don’t understand why.
In this episode, we’re continuing our look at the 4 things wives do that tend to push their husbands away and what we should be doing instead.
As we did last week, I’m going to ask you to take some notes. So grab a pen and paper and let’s get started.

As believers, we hear the terms denying self or dying to self in our Christian circles. On the surface, it can seem that we are called to live a sacrificial life of minimal wants and desires. One that only consist of putting everyone and everything before ourselves.
Denying ourselves to follow God does require a sacrificial love and service for others, but it also includes a beauty and security that can only be found in Him. A comfort and peace in living out God’s will for ourselves and our marriages.
Join me as we chat about what it really means to die to self to follow God, as well as the beauty and security that is provided to us as we do.
Let’s get started.

It's the season to be thankful, grateful, and blessed. But what if things aren't going so well for you right now? If times are tough and you're struggling to just get through the day?
We are called to give thanks in everything, but sometimes, in the midst of chaos and difficulties, it can be hard to muster up any kind of thankfulness. And if we do, it’s fleeting at best.
So then how do we follow God’s Word in this and have a true heart of thankfulness when our lives seem to be falling apart around us.
If this is how you’re feeling today, I invite you to pull up a chair next to mine, and join me as I share how we can have a thankful heart that brings peace, even in the midst of life’s challenges.
Let’s get started.

The term “Self-love” is very popular in our society today. As we looked at last week, the real meaning of it is not what the world has sugarcoated it to be. And the false teachings are really nothing more than scripture taken out of context to make the Bible say what they want to believe.
As we continue our chat today about self-love, we’re going to take a look at the dangers of it, how practicing self-love affects our marriages, and the kind of love that we should have for one another.
Let’s get started.

The struggle is real because the flesh is weak. We set our minds to be more submissive and show respect to our husbands. To be patient, loving, and kind to others.
However, we are often frustrated by our weaknesses and failure to change. We lose hope because, no matter how hard we try, we continue to struggle to become the godly woman we want to be.
But there is hope because we have the Holy Spirit to help us. One who works in us to renew our minds to make us more like Christ. See how!
