The Marital Kiss of Death
A marriage thought came off of a quote I came across. Oswald Chambers says, “Some of us are like the Dead Sea,always taking in,never giving out,because we’re not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.” My thought: We have the capability to turn our marriages into the Dead Sea. How does that happen? Selfishness. Bear with me…

Stay close
In the wake of what has taken place today, I find my self with a heavy heart..unable to do my weekly marriage blog. The blog I had planned on doing today with Anne will have to wait till next week. It just didn’t seem right today. How are you reacting to today’s events? My reactions…

Ineffective husbands
There’s a scripture that immediately comes to mind. 2 Timothy 2:15 is it. For some reason, the KJV is what rings loudly in my head. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” It’s the scripture that was heavily impressed upon me…

Chafing my spouse
I hate chafing. I can’t say I deal with that often. But you know as well as I do, it’s frustrating. And if you are in a position where it occurs and you can’t deal with it right then and there…it’s complete misery. Chafing refers to the irritation of skin caused by repetitive friction (thanks Wiki). One…

“Stop being thankful for your spouse…”

The lingerie of life.
Lingerie is meant for one thing: attraction… …and the attraction it was designed for is meant to lead to intimacy. Anne will say, it doesn’t take much to attract me to her. It could be the “typical man” type of mindset, but I began to ask myself the other side of that: what repels me?…

Are you looking for volunteers to date your spouse?
I’m discovering something. My blogs that have the most “activity” all have one thing in common: they deal with marriage. That may for one of two reasons (perhaps both of them). First, I blog about it frequently because I’m passionate about marriage ministry. When Christ comes into the marriage, everything about the home changes. He…

Are you staring at rear ends?
He stared at rear ends every day. The same ones. Day after day… …till the moment when his eye got a new focus. 1 Kings 19:19 “Elijah went straight out and found Elisha son of Shaphat in a field where there were twelve pairs of yoked oxen at work plowing; Elisha was in charge of…

Seducing your spouse with five senses
You’re thinking about that word “seduce” aren’t ya. It’s one of those words you hear a preacher say in church that causes you to look at the person next to ya and ask, “can he use that word in church?” I think people carry a list in the back of their head or bible of…
