EVERY MOMent COUNTS!
I had the pleasure of being a part of the inaugural voyage of the FamilyLife Love Like You Mean It Cruise this past Valentine’s Day! I must confess, I knew it was going to be great. I mean, come on — a cruise ship for five days and I wouldn’t be cooking or cleaning one single [...]
Do you long for the opportunity to have a date night with your spouse? Do you feel cheated because you cannot manage to get out of the house, and date night just isn’t happening? Newsflash … you do not have to leave the house to have a date night! Really! Allow me to explain. Years ago, [...]
As a mom of four kids, taxi driver, short-order cook, laundry service, etc., it’s hard to transition to sex kitten after the kids are all tucked in. If I’m not careful, sex becomes an addition to my to-do list. But in reality, it’s one of my favorite perks of being married to my handsome man! When I [...]
I hear from women all too often who struggle with body image, low self-esteem, and self-doubt, even in their marriage relationships. That’s not what God wants for you or for your marriage. When you look at yourself in the mirror, I want you to see yourself the way God sees you and the way [...]
Pssst … Come here — I have a little secret. I have read that the most sexually satisfied women are Christian women. Oh, yeah — we are. Know why? We love God, God created sex, and God wants us to fully enjoy our marriage bed. He even included a whole book in the Bible around the pleasures [...]
Did you answer yes to the sexy question? If so, wonderful! I hope you share your secret with your other female friends. Chances are, though, you answered no. The majority of the time I do. Whether you are a mom or not, a lot of women struggle with the idea of being sexy. When we [...]
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, so do tell: what do you have planned for Hubby? We must remember that Valentine’s Day is not just for the ladies; we need to romance our men as well. This year, FamilyLife asked the recipients of our weekly Marriage Memo what’s the most romantic thing their spouse had ever [...]
I remember reading a chapter title in the book Intimate Issues that I now completely relate to: “How do I make love with children wrapped around my knees?” When I was in one of my four post-maternity stupors of no sleep, someone else wanting my body (chest included) around the clock, and hoping I could [...]
Okay, so you wanna know the truth? For women (or at least for me), sex is 99 percent mental. (Okay, not 99 percent but at least 75 percent.) That’s not saying the physical aspect of love-making isn’t important — it is! — or saying that it’s not magical, exciting, rewarding, and bonding. (It can be all that, [...]
Instead of a dinner with fine china, I suggested restaurants with big screen televisions and wings. Testosterone and sports. Conversation could wait.
