When my friend Greta got engaged many years ago, a man she knew from work shared a story I’ll always remember.
In essence, he told Greta the key to marriage is to love your spouse even when you don’t feel like it. Using his own life to explain, he described a period in which he and his wife hit a wall. They were fighting constantly and very disconnected. Their marriage hung by a thread.
Her birthday was coming up,
“Just give her extra love, Kari. Just give her extra love.”
The words were so simple, yet exactly what I needed to hear. Once again my father came through with flying colors, offering advice to ease my anxiety.
It came during a time when I was worried about my daughter. It wasn’t anything major, just a situation that had popped up.
And though I knew better, I made the mistake of getting on Google.
Hi friend! Thanks for taking time to visit! I’m a mom of four girls who lives in the South and believes in the power of stories and God’s grace to change and transform lives.
My hope is to encourage you and learn from you. I write a lot for mothers and daughters and love to connect with both, so join me on Facebook and Instagram and let’s have a conversation!
Moms, our teenage daughters need us, and we need strength from God to love (and guide) them well.
These 10 simple truths will make one big change in your life.
What people say about you is opinion. What God says about you is fact. The way to know your worth is to focus on the facts.
