What Husbands Need Most From Their Wives (Part 2)

As wives, we have the sacred privilege of realizing how tender our husbands’ hearts really are. (Just as they do with us.) So even if your man projects confidence, it’s crucial to know that on the inside, most men regularly feel real self-doubt. They question themselves as a husband and as a father: 76% of men in my nationally representative survey confessed they are not as confident as they look.  Read more

Friends, we have to do the same thing. We may have no idea how God will accomplish something in our lives. We may not know how we will pay the bills, get a new job, or repair the new roof after the storm. All we know is that He has promised to provide – and He has something great on the other side. We know this because as we look back, we can see that God has delivered us to the other side of our personal Jordan River again and again.   Read more

n this life we are 100% sure to be hurt by others. And without forgiveness, we are also 100% sure to be in a regular state of bitterness and anger. Research finds this is extremely damaging. In fact, some researchers are pushing for regular bitterness to be labeled an official medical disorder. Forgiveness is the only action that can set us free and allow us to live a thriving life instead. Read more

In other words: Because you saw something from under the surface that was visible for a moment, you were instantly curious.   That exact same sense of curiosity is essential for creating and growing great relationships.    The problem is, we often lose that curiosity about the under-the-surface things in our spouse (or our kids, or friends …). If we can recapture it, we have seen in the data that it leads to deepened trust, safety, and intimacy. Here are three steps to doing so.   Read more
