I remember so clearly a dinner party I hosted where a newer friend showed up two hours late with two uninvited guests in tow. To make matters worse, they didn’t bring anything to contribute to the party. Needless to say, I never invited her to another party.

We don’t typically think of prayer as a way to show a person that we appreciate them, but here’s the thing: prayer changes everything, especially our relationships. Prayer is our connection to the God who is love, the God who shows us what it means to love our spouse unconditionally. When you stay in tune with Him and bring to mind all the reasons you’re grateful God blessed you with your spouse, that heart of thanks will naturally guide how you interact with your partner. Note: it’s important to be specific here. Don’t simply breeze through a “Thanks for my spouse,…

Why do we often choose familiar yet unhealthy partnerships? Some of my clients have relayed their frustration with being unable to meet their potential partners because each encounter ends in another hurtful, and similar outcome.
