Sexual Intimacy

A couple are dating and discussing if they should just stay friends or could this person be my eternal companion? There is more flexibility with being friends and no actual commitment, but in marriage there is selflessness, love, protection, and more. They wonder what similarities they have and find out their pretty opposite, but opposites can attract right?                 My husband and I are opposites, but we love each other and know the importance of our covenants and have an intimate connection. We know to set boundaries with others and make sure we are both aware of outside friendships and relationships with family. We put God first and then each other. We have seen firsthand the challenges in past marriages where affairs and pornography have affected not only the previous spouses, but us individually.                 What are ...

COMMUNICATION & MUTUAL PROBLEM SOLVING

There are several ways to communicate with people around us whether it is verbal, non-verbal, silent-treatment, actions, and more. In what ways do you communicate with your family and friends, and is it done effectively?

Divorce, Re-Marriage, & Aging Families

I was married for 15 years and then we got divorced. I was a single mom for about a year, and then got re-married. Through my second marriage, I am learning to recognize how I need to change in order to best commit to our covenant marriage. We need to constantly discuss and communicate which is huge in any relationship. I am taking the knowledge from my last marriage and trying to improve on being a better wife and mom. It takes constant hard work to have a marriage including covenant marriage work. A covenant marriage is a way to add stability and satisfaction to marital relationships. We need to constantly include God in our lives, he knows us the best.                 There are some difficult decisions made when a couple is getting divorced such as the division of property and who will get custody of kids (if they are kids in the marriage). In my situation, we split down the middle and what I didn’t take I...
