I am a wife, mother, and passionate follower of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. After the realities of my husband's sexual addiction and infidelities finally came to a head, I began blogging about our journey to healing. God has worked many miracles in our life and marriage since then, and grown a ministry committed to helping others find the healing in Christ that changed our story forever!
When we come to a place in which we realize letting go of control and fear has become a necessity, I doubt there are many of us who naturally think of good boundaries as the way to do it! Quite the opposite. Most people have such a distorted view of boundaries, that they end up thinking of them as […]
Sin (including addiction) is never the fault of anyone but the sinner. If someone we love is battling addiction (or any other willful sin), it absolutely is NOT our fault. Our control in a relationship does not include the ability to control another person’s choices. Which is exactly why we have to learn how to […]
Proverbs 18:21 talks about how the tongue has the power of life and death, or the power to build up or destroy. Which is why we’re going to close out our Communicating God’s Way series by talking about the importance of taming the tongue. After all, if we could all somehow learn just to control […]
You cannot read the Bible, believe that it’s true, and submit yourself to it’s teachings without understanding the importance of forgiveness! There is no question that believers are called to forgive as they have been forgiven. So today, as we get close to the end of our Communicating God’s Way series, we want to spend […]
Often, when lies have defined a relationship for many years, we’re left wondering, will I ever stop waiting for the other shoe to drop? Even after years of solid recovery, many of us find ourselves struggling to believe we’re not still being lied to. How can we ever know for sure, we wonder? What if we’re being naïve or […]
It’s true! Telling the truth IS important. If you’ve found this post through search, we’re towards the end of a series on Communicating God’s Way in our marriages. Today we’re talking about the importance of telling the truth. All the time. We want to learn how to recognize actual truth for ourselves, we want to […]
People far wiser than myself have named three stages to the process of healing from Betrayal Trauma, and as a survivor, I can definitely find pieces of my own story in each of those stages of betrayal recovery. But I’m here to tell you, the journey to healing is not linear. We won’t move through […]
We’re about halfway through a series talking about what it means to communicate God’s way in our relationships. In our last post we talked about some of the most common examples of manipulation in relationships that mess this up. We acknowledged that we all sometimes choose to play games rather than speak plainly and honestly, […]
Manipulation in communication is a HUGE problem in modern relationships. We can’t adequately cover the topic of communication in this series without addressing it. But I believe there are two categories of manipulation we need to address here, and for that reason we’re splitting this topic up into two posts. The reality is, I doubt a single […]
Here you are, you’ve found yourself in that terrible place which has become a reality for countless wives across the world. You’ve discovered his porn problem. Maybe you’ve known for a while that he looked here and there, or that he “struggled,” but you’ve finally come to recognize that this is no small issue. He’s […]
