Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 10:01 am By Dave Willis

Below is one of the most common marriage mistakes and how to prevent it. For ongoing marriage-building tools, please connect with me on twitter by clicking here and subscribe to our email list.

When life feels broken at Christmas.

Last updated on: December 11, 2013 at 11:47 am By Dave Willis

Christmas can be “the most wonderful time of the year,” but the holidays can also have a way of making life’s regrets, struggles and brokenness seem even bigger. Maybe this Christmas you’re finding yourself in a difficult place. You look around at your life and you’re overwhelmed with frustration and disappointment about how things are turning out. You feel like every happy Christmas song is rubbing salt into the wounds of your heart. If any of that sounds familiar to... Read more

4 simple ways to make this your best Christmas yet!

Last updated on: December 19, 2017 at 1:14 pm By Dave Willis

It’s Christmastime again which means there are decorations everywhere you look, Christmas carols and holiday tunes being played on every station and Will Ferrell dressed as an Elf on almost every TV channel (which is pretty hilarious no matter how many times I watch it)! The holidays can create a unique mixture of joy and sadness; of bliss and stress. It’s a time when we sing “It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” but for many, it’s a time... Read more

A sincere apology from Dave Willis

Last updated on: December 6, 2013 at 1:51 pm By Dave Willis

Hey Everyone, I need to make an apology. For the past few months, I have had Google Ads on my site to generate some extra income and offset our expenses. When I set up the ads, I thought I had done the appropriate work to block anything that wasn’t in line with our mission to build stronger marriages and families, but apparently, I did not. There have been several recent ads that have been out of bounds including an image... Read more

5 things to do when your marriage is in trouble

Last updated on: July 8, 2015 at 2:37 pm By Dave Willis

Last week I was sitting down with some friends who are in the midst of a marriage crisis. One spouse had just confessed to the other a past affair with a mutual friend of theirs. I was meeting with them to counsel and encourage them both just days after this bombshell had been dropped and while the emotions were very raw, and trust was fractured, this couple was already taking healthy steps to chart a new course for their marriage....

Last updated on: July 11, 2019 at 5:06 pm By Dave Willis

We’ve all had days (and maybe even years) when life just doesn’t seem to be going our way!
