What Is He Thinking?!? – Romance
What Is He Thinking?!? Does My Husband Even Care About Romance? As little girls we often grow up with the notion of meeting, and marrying, our very own ‘Prince Charming’. He will sweep us off our feet with his romantic gestures, regularly bringing us flowers, and writing us beautiful, butterfly-inducing messages of love. He’ll organise amazing candlelit dinners where we hold hands, stare into each other’s eyes, and easily enjoy deep and meaningful conversations.

What Is He Thinking? NOTHING! Have you ever been driving down the motorway in comfortable silence and asked your husband “what are you thinking?” Only to have him respond “Nothing”.

Lessons from the Trenches
Lessons from the Trenches Four key steps when marriage gets tough. All marriages go through difficult seasons, where the feelings of love are harder to find. But sometimes things can get extra tough! One of you may have admitted to an affair, or woken up one day feeling like the love has gone. Or perhaps you are spending increasing amounts of your time together arguing or ignoring each other. It is at this point that we all have a choice to make: will we get out of the marriage and move on to perceived “greener pastures”, or will we get stuck in and fight. They say that anything in…

What Is He Thinking?! – Sex
What Is He Thinking?!? - I feel like he just wants sex all the time! God designed men and women differently.

Side By Side 5 Reasons Community is Vital for your Marriage When God created the world, He designed us to be in relationship with other people. We were made in the image of God and, like the Trinity, we too thrive in community. It not only helps alleviate our loneliness but also teaches us and enables us to grow. In Proverbs 27:17 it says “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” This means that when we spend time around other people, God uses them to soften our rough edges. In community we learn to be less self-focused, and to improve our communication and people skills. Many…
