What’s Really Going On with the Husband Who Doesn’t Want His Wife’s Input?

Sadly, many a man will not include his wife in decisions because he fears her input as an attempt to control him rather than as her desire to be his helpful teammate. Not only is this man extremely insecure (which calls into question his manhood), but some would call him imprudent.

Since God Wants Me to Believe in Him, Why Doesn’t He Just Appear to Me?

As a new believer in Christ at age sixteen, I recall one night going outside my home in Peoria, Illinois, and crying out to God to show Himself to me to confirm that what I believed about Him was true. “Just appear to me!” I begged of God.

Darkest Before the Dawn

Darkest Before the Dawn

In my last blog I challenged the wives to be the mature one in the relationship and consider changing the tone at home. I promised to challenge the husbands equally, so guys…now it’s your turn. Here’s a testimony from a husband who realized he could no longer assume his marriage was ok…he needed to step up and save it. He figured out what it truly means to unconditionally love, even when not receiving anything in return. I salute him as an honorable man!

Respect During Tough Times

Respect During Tough Times

May I speak just to the wives today? In my last blog we discussed what unconditional really means. I know how difficult the concept of unconditional respect is so today I want to share a testimony from a wife who figured this out, with powerful results. This woman’s husband endured an accident that left him unable to work. Within that difficulty, she learned to be sensitive to her husband’s needs; despite what I’m sure was a very hard time for her. I think her story will inspire you as it did me.

The Marriage Conference Men Want To Attend

The Marriage Conference Men Want To Attend

…a message from Sarah Eggerichs. My favorite part of the Love & Respect Marriage Conference is the opportunity to meet the amazing men and women who attend. I am especially moved by the men who come. Why? Because I see men respond in powerful ways to this message and it always touches my heart. In fact, I want to subtitle it “The marriage conference men want to attend!”

The Romance Game

With the New Year upon us, there are stacks of stats out there about how New Year’s resolutions don’t work. For example, most of them don’t last through February. Most of us already knew that.

Christmas Chaos

Christmas Chaos

Although we know that Christmas is supposed to be about Jesus, we can’t deny that the busyness of the holiday season can zap us of our time, energy and patience. Furthermore, the anticipation of gathering with extended family and in-laws is not always pleasant.

Caught in the Act…

Caught in the Act…

“Character is what we do when no one is looking.” Most of us have heard some variation of this quote…and have probably tried to teach it to our children. But do we live by it? Here’s a story from a husband who caught his wife in the act of revealing her true character:

How Thankful Are You?

How Thankful Are You?

“Give thanks in everything, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” 1 Thessalonians 5:18, NASB. I’m guessing that husbands or wives reading this will have different answers to the question, “How thankful are you for your spouse?”
