Marriage

Contrary to secular opinion, parenting is not the responsibility of one parent over the other. Nor is not parenting at all. Christian husbands are to take part in raising and nurturing their children. This also includes being a godly role model and teaching children values and character, manners, and investing in their spiritual growth and development.

Many things are expected of us as Christian wives. Foremost, we should be companions and helpmates to our husbands. Everything else should come after that. None of us are perfect. We are human and are all works in progress. If there are some things on this list that you struggle with or are hard for you, it’s okay. The most important thing is to be there for your husband, then your kids, and make sure you spend time with the Lord every day.

The expression of one’s love and how they receive it was made clearer when pastor Gary Chapman published the book, The Five Love Languages. In this groundbreaking resource, Chapman identified five languages of love; essentially, how people receive and share love.

We wanted so badly to be parents, but we were failing to be obedient to our own Father. We forgot to seek Him – first. He wasn’t our first plan; He was our last resort. We got ahead of ourselves and began planning on that dancefloor the day we said, “I do,” forgetting a major component (the most important component, might I add) of the equation – God! I guess you could say we were both lovestruck.

But while God was raising up this mighty man of valor to be a fearless leader and man after His own heart, the women who would become King David’s wives were also being prepared to become a part of God’s redemptive plan.

There are endless possibilities for dating ideas. Sometimes you have to be a little creative and innovative. The next time you go on a date, keep these ideas in mind or plan something specific according to your own interests. Your significant other will love it no matter what.

With a little bit of focus, enthusiasm, and creativity, in a short time, it is possible to renovate and revive your marriage.

Navigating the complex emotions after a spouse's infidelity can be overwhelming, but biblical guidance offers a path toward healing and discerning the future of your marriage. 

Marriage is a joy and a blessing, but it won't always be easy. When tensions and anger take hold, when trust is broken, when it feels like God is silent - cling to these verses. 

You want to yoke yourself with someone who also wants to change. Someone who puts you first in the relationship rather than themselves will be more likely to do so as you progress in your marriage. A marriage that's others-centered is ultimately one of the most successful relationships you can have.

People forget that love is not a feeling; it's a choice. Feelings come and go, but choosing to love someone unconditionally for the rest of your life is a choice. Are you trying to decide if you and your significant other are ready for marriage? Here are some ways that you know that both of you are ready.

Many Christians worry they’re “settling” if marriage doesn’t feel like a fairy tale. Scripture tells a different story about what truly matters when choosing a spouse.

Usually when couples feel disconnected from one another, the root of the problem is intimacy. Spiritual, emotional, and physical intimacy is the thread that ties couples together. Even if it fades, God has given us ways to rekindle it again.

For couples experiencing infertility, many phrases or questions can be triggering. Family, friends, and even strangers often have well-meaning intentions. Still, to a woman struggling to conceive or a husband wondering if they’ll ever have a baby of their own, some phrases come across as insensitive at best and downright mean at worst. These couples are already experiencing an emotional rollercoaster.

Loneliness is rising, and many are quietly turning to AI for comfort and connection. Could this new digital attachment be crossing a line that Scripture clearly draws around marriage?

Being a “wife of noble character” is a rarity because she is not everywoman. Rather, she is an idealized model we should aspire to, understanding that perhaps no one can reach this pinnacle of behavior.

What’s the real difference between forgiving someone, forgetting what they did, and fully reconciling the relationship? This powerful article breaks down what the Bible actually says—and doesn’t say—about forgiveness, grace, and boundaries. If you’ve ever struggled to know what’s required of you when someone hurts you, this will bring clarity, comfort, and freedom.

The more time you and your spouse spend intentionally focusing on God—the source of all love—the more God’s love will flow between you. Love is much more than a feeling; it’s an action that you need to intentionally choose on a regular basis. When you choose to act in love toward each other, loving feelings will follow.

God has much to say in the Bible about how he wants us to make marriage last forever and the marriage relationship.

God is not afraid of your emotions; He understands your pain and wants you to bring your burdens to Him.
