The Love Affair that Changed Our Marriage

07/23/2018

I’ve actually never confessed this to my husband. I was so concerned that he would have an affair- that I contrived to have one myself! It all started many years ago... Several of my friends found out that their husbands were having affairs. My heart broke as I saw each family devastated. I got paranoid about my own husband. Paranoia consumed me until finall[...]

The Honeymoon Life

05/18/2017

We live on a farm and have weddings in our barn, every weekend! Marriage, love, weddings and honeymoon conversations are our life! True love on a wedding day is breathtaking, but what's more breathtaking-is true love after babies, sleepless nights and hard days turned into years. Many couples struggle to keep their marriage aflame. Many wives tell me they[...]

Coveting Another Husband

09/30/2015

Oh my...Yep, when this temptation comes, and it WILL, DON’T ENTERTAIN the thought even for a second! Every grueling week, my friend would share how absolutely easy her life was. Every evening when her husband came home from work he helped with dinner, dishes, gave the kids baths and PUT THEM TO BED! He even mowed the grass, trimmed the bushes on the weekends an[...]

Marriage’s Greatest Enemy

09/22/2015

She could hardly stop crying long enough to get a sentence out. “Sharon, I loved him so much (sob). I can’t believe he left the kids and me. What am I going to do?” I gave her tissues, looked directly into her swollen eyes and said, “I know what you’re going to do! You’re not going to give up! You can’t!” He’s your first love, the father of your babies and you [...]

A Wrecked Marriage–Saved Over Lunch

06/28/2015

If you're joining me from P31 Devotions today, welcome! “I can’t STAND my husband. I’ve had enough. It’s over. I’m so finished with this marriage, Sharon. I’m DONE… DONE!” She screamed as I held the phone away from my ear. She started sobbing. I waited. I could hear her kids fighting in the background and a baby screaming. She said, “Sharon, can the[...]

Marriage is Like Farming- It Must be Cultivated

06/18/2015

The grain bag was almost empty, so I reached deeply into the dark bag to get a scoop for my chickens… Suddenly something scurried up my arm sleeve! You would have thought an anaconda was in my shirt the way I jumped and screamed! Within 10 seconds a mouse jumped right out of the top of my shirt! I’m surprised we didn't both roll over and die right there! People[...]

40 Day No Complaining Fast

02/24/2015

My 40 day fast ended abruptly before my head hit the pillow, on the first day! Yep, my plan was to… fast from complaining. I was pretty excited over the possibility of reigning all those negative thoughts… then I woke up on the first morning- and our pipes had frozen! I stood with my blow dryer, blowing hot air on to pipes while Dale sawed huge holes out of our dr[...]

Keep it Shut

01/08/2015

Sunday morning fights. Ugh… Kids fighting, shoes missing, and Dale and I who are usually in crazy love- nearly ready for separation before we walk inside the church on Sunday morning. Yikes! This past Sunday wasn’t a lot different. I wanted to go in late and leave early so as not to touch any of the “sick” folks carrying that horrible flu bug. Yeah it’s the [...]

Happily Ever After

06/12/2014

The wedding was glorious! True love took center stage in the old country church. Their purity combined with their passion- exploded our hearts with joy and peace. It’s a breathtaking wonder for a couple madly in love to wait for their wedding day, to partake of all the pleasures God has for them. I sat directly in front of Jennifer and Alex and wondered if a[...]

A Fairytale Love Story- Hardships

08/28/2013

Who doesn’t love an epic love story? In Genesis 24, Rebecca and Isaac’s story reads much like a fairy-tale. It was a match made in heaven- literally. It was love at first sight. And God wanted us to know every detail about this couples love story… Rebecca was beautiful, pure, energetic and had a servants heart. Isaac was peace loving, easy going, and quiet. Wh[...]

Is “Date Night” Mandatory for a Happy Marriage?

07/23/2013

If you're visiting from Proverbs 31 Encouragement for Today Devotions, welcome! When Dale and I were raising our five children, we maybe had three official "date nights," ever. I know, it’s hard to believe. There were a lot reasons why we didn't. I don't think we ever discussed these things. It was just what we did because. . . ~ The cost ~ Where do you [...]

Susanna Wesley’s Prayer Apron- Powerful Life Story

07/05/2013

Hidden behind the door of many homes is the reality of hardship. Secret things happen that few want the world to know. Yet, from some people (presently and historically) we are given the inside story, whether they want it told or not. A devastated home isn’t always apparent on first impression, is it? Susanna Wesley was married to a preacher. They had 10 chi[...]

Extravagant Love–Marriage Conference Call

05/10/2013

I was SO mad, I thought I would explode! And the contents of that explosion would have been hazardous to anyone in my path—namely Dale! Anger was emanating from every pore of my being. What was he thinking? How could he not see the obvious? The more these thoughts swirled in my head, the madder I got! And he didn’t seem to care about my feelings, either! He jus[...]

The Depth of Intimacy– Pure and Indescribable

02/12/2013

Intimacy. Hmm… After 32 years of marriage, I still blush talking about it! It is so private and sacred! No expression of human communion is deeper than that of a husband and wife making love. It borders on supernatural in expression. The sensory goes beyond flesh into spiritual depths that are indescribable. It took me a while to fully underst[...]

Love Potion

02/05/2013

A lot of women who read The Good Wife Recipe assumed that marriage had always come easy for me. It hasn't always been easy. My dad left our family when I was young, so I lacked the example of a godly marriage. Being the oldest child, I was very independent. Those two factors added together equaled a negative value in my tendencies toward marriage. My [...]
