Sheri Mueller, Marriage and More…

Wouldn’t it be awe-inspiring if a major TV network had the guts to do a show called Christian Marriage Makeover? This would be revolutionary reality TV. Here’s my thoughts on what the show might offer. Different styles of prayer, worship music, and outdoor activities would be introduced to assist a couple with God connection opportunities. [...]

I attended a memorial service last night for a 49-year old woman named Donna, who died from breast cancer.   My connection to Donna was though her niece.  My husband and I are working with the niece and her fiancé on their pre-marital mentoring.  The service was beautifully done with many pictures and videos of this [...]

On a recent trip, my husband and I had the opportunity to borrow a Garmin (GPS) device. At first, when this little gadget of wonders talks back to you, it’s rather fun. As you make wrong turns, it alerts you with the words — “RECALCULATING!” We were navigating downtown Dallas fairly well, until, we found [...]

I have to admit that I am a recovering husband complainer.   I have a dear friend who challenged me years ago to change how I speak about my husband in front of others.  It had to be difficult for her to step forward, speak the truth, and lovingly nudge me toward change. Equipped with a [...]

I married at 19 and became a grandparent at 44! It was an earth moving experience to hear this little loving munchkin call me gamma when he started speaking.

In the event you felt my previous post on Maid, Mother, Sex Goddess was a bit unfair — here is my rebuttal for the perfect husband.  Enjoy. Super-Hero — A man who sees through every emotion his wife has; knowing when to calm her, cradle her and wipe away her tears.  He has super-hearing as [...]

I have been researching what the perfect wife should look like.  Here’s a taste from hundreds of examples. Maid — She will keep my home clean at all times.  Dusting will be done daily, floors will be washed, linens changed, toilets and tubs cleaned, mirrors sparkling and fresh flowers on the table. Mother — She cleans [...]

I love to listen to music with my husband.  It binds us when words are absent and prayer is difficult.  It’s another form of creating intimacy together. My desire for those visiting this blog is to encourage you to spend time with your spouse listening to soul-filling music together. There’s a new album by Brandon Heath I had an [...]

There is a new book coming out in August 2008 by Margaret Feinberg called The Sacred Echo Be on the lookout for this one. It’s an amazing read for discussion with your spouse or your couples group. My other favorites from Margaret are The Organic God and Just Married: What Might Surprise You About The First Few [...]
