Sheri Mueller, Marriage and More…

My husband and I went and saw the movie Fireproof  this weekend.  We thoroughly enjoyed it.  Sherwood Pictures has come a long way in the quality of their work since Facing the Giants was released.  There was better character development and dialogue – although, my husband had a few comments about one or two areas of corny [...]

If you haven’t heard, the movie Fireproof will be released this Friday, September 26th.   I highly encourage you to go see it. It is the story of a couple on the brink of divorce who is able to turn their marriage around. There is one particular scene where there is an argument. The intensity of [...]

It’s time for a party! The invitation needs to be sent out. However, this is a different kind of party. There is only one guest. His name is Jesus. In the body of the invitation, the following needs to be completed. Date: Everyday                        Time: Every Minute of The Day Place: Wherever I Am              Event: My [...]

My latest read has been a book by Leslie Vernick called The Emotionally Destructive Relationship – Seeing It, Stopping It, Surviving It. It was released last year and was sitting on my bookshelf. I’m sorry I did not pick it up sooner. Leslie is a licensed clinical social worker with a private counseling practice. I [...]

Last fall through early 2008, my husband and I spent several months away from the marriage ministry we loved and our church home of twenty-two years. We felt it was time to rest and simplify life for a while. Over the course of several months, we spent our Sundays visiting new churches we have watched [...]

Two weeks ago my husband spent five days taking a motorcycle course. Motorcycling is something we have talked about doing for quite some time. It would be a new adventure for us as we emptied the nest this year (yes, we are celebrating) and decided it was important to find new ways to enjoy shared [...]

We make choices every day: to sin and walk away from God or walk toward him. We make the same choices in our marriage – to walk toward our spouse or walk away from them. The consequences of our choices will build a stronger marriage or slowly chip away at its foundation. We can point [...]

I am always amazed to talk with a couple and have them tell me they have never had an argument. Not even a tiny disagreement. I encourage them to go home and make one up! Get into a good fight, work on negotiating a compromise and stop avoiding conflict. Conflict is good. It means you’re [...]

I heard a song this past weekend by Casting Crowns from their Altar and The Door Album called Slow Fade. The lyrics have churned through my thoughts the past several days with a sense of deep sadness. I have been compelled to pray for the marriages of many people I know. A small portion of the [...]

I am a spoiled woman.  My husband and I work from home.  This provides a great deal of time to be together.  I’ve been asked, “How do you do it? “  It was a very big adjustment the first month, but it has grown on us. I actually find that I miss him during the day [...]
