Preparing for Thanksgiving as a Couple!
Thanksgiving is more than a holiday — it’s a heart posture. And for couples, it’s an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and prepare your home and your relationship for a season filled with gratitude.

Don’t Stop in the Storm: A Lesson for Marriage
Researchers say that when you’re driving through a heavy rainstorm, you should never stop in the middle of it — even if you have to crawl forward at 1 mile per hour. The reason is simple: if you stop, you’ll stay in the storm longer. But if you keep moving, even slowly, you’ll eventually drive out of it and find clear skies again.

Walking in God’s Purpose in Marriage
Every marriage has a story—but not every marriage walks in God’s story. When two people say “I do,” they aren’t just joining hands; they’re joining callings. Marriage was never meant to be two people simply coexisting—it’s a divine partnership designed to reflect God’s love and fulfill His purpose on earth. The beauty of a purpose-driven marriage is that it turns everyday moments—prayer, laughter, challenges, forgiveness—into opportunities to live out God’s plan together. 1.

How Do I Change My Spouse?
Ah yes, the age-old question: “How do I change my spouse?” If you’ve ever tried, you already know—it’s like trying to get Wi-Fi in the wilderness. You might think you’re close, but nope… signal lost. We all have our moments of thinking, “If they would just stop doing that one thing, everything would be perfect.” Spoiler alert: they’re probably thinking the same thing about you.
