Marriage and Communication

With my background in Biblical counseling, I find communication issues very interesting. While it’s very easy to find problems in the way other people relate, it is much more difficult in one’s own relationships. Here is an excerpt from our life. The last few months Jason and I have had a running discussion about restaurants. … [continue reading]

To Make My Husband Laugh

One of my daily goals is to make my husband laugh.  This is today’s success story: We were eating supper–steak and German potato salad.  My little two-year-old boy was happily eating his potato salad.  Evidently he and I were the only two that cared for it.  My daughter Joy was impressed that he would eat… [continue reading]

One evening… [continue reading]

Newlywed Cooking Lessons

When we were first married, I set out to be the perfect wife.  Only my new husband’s definition of the perfect wife and mine were immensely different.  So for several months, okay years, I labored on my own mission and he set out to tell me how he wanted me to be.  Fun, fun, fun!… [continue reading]

Marriage

The other day Jason and I were talking about our dating relationship versus our marriage relationship.  I told him that marriage was quite a shocker for me because I expected him to be just as interested in my views, desires, and wishes as when we dated and…uh…he wasn’t.  🙂  He didn’t really say much after… [continue reading]

What Goes Around Comes Around

Several years ago when our oldest was a baby, Jason purchased about fifty dollars’ worth of shirts and jeans and took them home to try on since Sam’s Club does not have dressing rooms.  The next morning we got in the car to return most of them to get our money back.   When we arrived… [continue reading]
