God created men and women with purposeful differences so that together they can fulfill their roles in marriage. A wise woman understands that her role is not secondary—it is essential in building oneness with her husband. When a husband and wife learn to embrace the responsibilities God has given them, harmony and unity begin to [...]
I didn’t realize our marriage was ending until I began noticing the silence—not the cozy quiet of a peaceful evening, but a deeper kind of quiet that seemed to settle between our souls. It wasn’t the hush of a house after the dishwasher stops or the kids finally fall asleep. It was the stillness that [...]
Divorce has become sadly familiar in our culture. What was once seen as rare and heartbreaking is now common, even within the church. Every year, Christian couples who once stood before God and vowed a lifelong covenant find themselves signing papers that end their marriage. The pain runs deep, not just for the couple but [...]
When a Christian couple stands before family, friends, and most importantly God, and pledges their love “for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part,” they are entering into one of the most sacred covenants known to man.

After counseling countless couples over the years, I have learned that one of the greatest truths about marriage is this—God never intended for husbands and wives to live as two separate individuals competing for control.

Just as God gave His people the Ten Commandments as a moral anchor, couples can build their relationship on spiritual principles that keep love growing and faith deepening. These “Ten Commandments of Marriage” [...]
Most couples never stand at the altar thinking, “One day we’ll be strangers” or “One day we might divorce.” We promise “for better or for worse,” fully convinced our love will make it. Yet over time, even Christian marriages can slowly drift into dangerous waters. The vows are still there on paper, but in real [...]
Physical intimacy is one of God’s good gifts to husbands and wives. It is not dirty, shameful, or unspiritual; it is part of how God joins two people together as “one flesh” and deepens their bond over a lifetime. At the same time, many Christian couples quietly struggle in this area and feel confused, discouraged, [...]
As Christian parents, we love our kids deeply and want to give them every opportunity to grow, learn, and succeed. That desire is good and God-given.
