What is Your Garden of Life Producing?

A productive, healthy, and beautiful garden is the result of proper care on a continual basis. It is not merely enough to maintain a garden when you feel like it, for behind its outer beauty, much activity is occurring from within. While new flowers are springing forth and roots are re-establishing with each growth spur, there are constant intruders trying to infiltrate its space.

These invaders are part of the community and although they co-habit, they are very harmful to the augmentation and… Continue

"til death do us part"

I had a friend say the other day how she is ready to leave her husband because of her unhappiness. She says they have not had much intimacy since her youngest was born and he is now 4 years old. She said she was unhappy, they have tried counseling, and still argue daily. She feels happier when they are apart and miserable when they are around. Its getting to where he even yells at their kids (2). Here's the catch, he is severely clinically depressed. Now, I am a true romantic and don't believe i… Continue

Tip #1
Make a list. When you… Continue

Ingredients To A Good Marriage

Marriage is hard work. In order for marriage to really work, God MUST be at the center of the relationship. We are unable to know how to love our spouse unconditionally, unless we have God's love and know of His love. There will be ups and downs in marriage. After 22 years of marriage, I have seen both sides. When the storms clouds enter into your marriage, keep God as your "spiritual umbrella". He will not allow your marriage to get "wash out".
Show appreciation for your spouse daily. Encourage… Continue
