4 signs that you’re too BUSY

Last updated on: August 30, 2015 at 8:57 pm By Dave Willis

I’ve got a confession to make. I’m addicted to being busy. Like most “busy-holics” I’ve been guilty of keep a frenetic and unsustainable pace in life at the expense of my health and my happiness (and often at the expense of my loved ones as well). Still, I often wear busyness like a badge of honor even while it creates stress, sleepless nights and strained relationships. This is an area of my life where I’ve been working to improve, and...

Ten Bible verses that changed my marriage

Last updated on: August 25, 2015 at 8:40 pm By Dave Willis

The Bible has changed my life and my marriage. Seriously. Depending on where you are on your faith journey, you may look at the Bible (as I do) as a love letter from God filled with inspiration and instruction for life OR perhaps you just see it as an antiquated, outdated relic.

I’ve “fallen out of love” with my spouse. Now what?

Last updated on: August 23, 2015 at 8:25 pm By Dave Willis

One of the most common phrases my wife Ashley and I hear when talking with married couples who are facing struggles, boredom, the aftermath of infidelity or any other type of challenge in marriage is something like, “I just don’t feel the same anymore. I’ve fallen out of love with him/her. I’m not sure I want to stay married.” Maybe you’ve had thoughts like this and maybe you’ve even said them out loud. Feelings are fickle, so chances are, you’ve had moments when... Read more
