If I'm being honest, 'married life' is messy and hard. Life with real friends can also be this way. The people who speak the truth in love can offend us (or down right tick us off) easily, without even trying. Often times they're just trying to help, except it doesn't feel like help, it feels ...
Marriage, according to A Slightly Better Wife
New Book Suggestion: No More Perfect Marriages
"If we don’t intentionally move towards one another in marriage, we will naturally move apart." -Jill Savage WOW! Just let that sink in for a minute, would you? This is a quote I read in an e-mail from Jill Savage. I know you've probably heard me talk here or in my videos about Jill before. It's ...
WIFE TIP: Do it Yourself
Being a homeowner can have its challenges. Something always needs cleaned, repaired, or put away. Now, in theory, being a married homeowner means you aren’t expected to carry all the weight alone, right? So if the burdens can be split in half, managing a home shouldn’t seem so ...

Mr. Awesome Teaches Preschool, Post Christmas Normal, and Other Ramblings
It's 2 days post Christmas. We had our last Christmas celebration of the year here yesterday. The decorations are off the tree, the stockings have been stored away, and we're getting things back to "normal". My husband works hard all year long, and takes a few extra days off around this time ...

Serve Your Spouse Well
