This is a space where I, Sam, one part of the married duo, will share some of our everyday highs and lows in this crazy thing we call A Perfectly Imperfect Marriage.
With a strong emphasis on IMPERFECT!
"We do NOT DO because we cannot. We DO NOT do because we do not want to. For when we want to do something we make a way."
I often think I've got my hubby all figured out, then we have a little argument or disagreement, and we are both left looking at each other like, what alien ship swung buy and traded out bodies!
I know it is safe to say others have faced this same dilemma, just when you think you...
I read a lot of books, and if you've been following my writing for any amount of time you've heard me mention that. The reason I'm mentioning it again is because I'm hopeful it will pique your interest to pick up a book, or an audible, and try out one or two of the ones that have been mentioned...
We've all encountered those moments when someone's words or actions rub us the wrong way, triggering a cascade of emotions. But why do some people seem continually offended while others remain cool as a cucumber?
The answer lies in two words; unhealed and healed.
An unhealed person cannot...
When you tell someone, “I love you. I’m proud of you. You did an amazing job.”
You’re not just being kind; you are sending out waves of healing.
Healing over minds. Mending the wounds of past hurts and healing over hearts.
Let’s face it,...
When you think of your marriage what comes to mind? How do you see your hubby/wife?
Confrontational, angry, nitpicky, nag, procrastinator…..
Ally, partner, openminded, go-getter, joyful….
How you see will determine how you will act.
“If you want small changes in your life,...
Have you ever read the book Song of Solomon? It is the 22nd book in the bible and I'd say it could almost be considered a Romantasy, except it's not fantasy! But, it does have a whole lot of sultry romance, a younger me would have blushed at.
This is a story about a man and woman who are...
This past Sunday was Mothers day and our church had a wonderful panel of moms lined up to give their sound advise. They spoke into the lives of moms walking through every phase of parenting. I believe, much as I could relate with each of them in one way or another, so did other moms. As I sat...
Let me start here, with the young, know this, motherhood is wonderful. There will be many ups and downs, but the joy of every new day outweighs them all. When I was young I knew that one day I would be a mother, and I looked forward to that day. I don’t know that I ever truly knew what a...
Grace, it invites us to transform. Each day we fall short of the grace God freely gives us. We are grumpy that our spouse didn’t put their dirty cup in the sink befor they headed off to work. Or, we got short with them when they didn’t agree with something we said.
Grace says,...
I’ve heard this a lot, “I do all the dishes. I wash all the laundry. I work all day. I make dinner every night…..What do I get out of all of this? I am shown no appreciation for anything I do!” And, as a matter of fact, I used to say all the same things, and then some. It...
In the journey of marriage, as in life, the rear-view mirror can be both a blessing and a curse. It offers glimpses of where we've been, reminding us of the roads we've traveled and the obstacles we've overcome. Yet, when our gaze remains fixed on the past, it can obstruct our view of the present...
I was reading recently, and a few key words stood out in a verse. They seemed to be in all caps and bold letters, might as well have even been underlined. This was in 2 Corinthians 5:20, "We are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading thru you." Let’s start with a...
