EVERY MOMent COUNTS!
There are books written on the subject, there are even amazing posts written on the subject of how to inspire your husband. And while all of these useful, informative words and suggestions are most helpful and appreciated – I also know it can leave us, as wives, feeling overwhelmed and like we are not doing [...]
by Valerie Gaff When I was 9, I knew exactly what my wedding should be like. I wanted a beautiful white dress, with a train as long as Princess Diana’s. There would be flowers everywhere, and I would be surrounded by my family and friends. Since I already knew all the details, I just needed [...]
Or are you sick of sex? I am sick of the enemy deceiving those I love. I take it personally and frankly am not going to take it anymore. At church, marriage conferences and even with my relatives I am seeing that women are bored, tired, and unconcerned with continuing to pursue growth in sexual [...]
“We’re going to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the most people kissing passionately for five seconds at the same time,” said MomLife Today’s creator Tracey Eyster to an audience.
Today, I’m cozied up by the fire writing about what kind of kissing teen girls should reserve for marriage and why. It reminded me of A Kissing Challenge I offered to teens years ago to save that first kiss for as long as they could—maybe for marriage! But what good would the saving be, if [...]
“My mom wants to have a new family picture taken for Christmas,” Tanya shared. “She updates the photo every few years and sends it with her Christmas cards.” “Everything was fine until she mentioned that she doesn’t want my stepdaughter, Carissa, in the picture. She only wants ‘family.’ “I told her Carissa is part of [...]
Are you having fun in your marriage? It sounds like a ridiculous question doesn’t it! After all we got married because we liked being with each other and we had fun. But now, many of us don’t even think about fun. We are just trying to get through the day-cleaning up the next poopy diaper, [...]
Don’t know about you, but Liz Sanchez’ December 2010 post, “Take The Pretty Nightie Challenge,” may be the most talked about MomLife Today post in the Gresh house. Take it from a woman whose husband accuses her of being a hoodie-aholic (but only at bedtime), it’s a good thing to consider the concept of putting on something pretty now and then despite the fact that you’re sure you’ll freeze to death. (I took Liz’s challenge and wore something pretty to bed for a month and I did not freeze to death. I am, in fact, still alive!) The Pretty Nightie Challenge certainly ignited a few confessional conversations amongst me and my girlfriends. I might have even bought and shipped a somewhat pretty nightie to one of my fellow MomLife Today bloggers. (She shall remain nameless.)
… are you helping your husband follow his dreams? I came upon a realization yesterday as I hugged my husband. I’m a bit rounder than I was when we got married. So is he. We both have more wrinkles. His hair is speckled with gray. (My hair would have more speckles, too, if it wasn’t [...]
I admit it — there are days when I just do not feel like being all “you are wonderful” to my husband. It could be because he is not being all “you are wonderful” enough to me, or I am not feeling as loved as I want to be. Maybe he’s wrapped up in something at [...]
