Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

ten compliments your husband needs to hear

 Well, this is right up there with the whole "are you an easy wife to love?" article.  i didn't even read this one.  i just shook my head.  i agree with complimenting.  with uplifting. with encouraging.  but why am i starting to feel like the pressure is put upon women to make all right in the world?  to make everyone feel good about themselves while making sure that everyone feels good about us by being the "right" woman.  i find it a travesty.  i find it sickening.  it's not the right message.  marriage is TWO.  two giving.  two learning.  two lifting up.  two finding their way.
sensitive because i went this route.  i tried it.  i heard that all would be well if i would just do these things....it doesn't always work out that way.

marriage is about learning to know a person.  about opening up.  about intimacy.  there's not a formula.  and even if you let your husband hear these ten compliments, even if you are "easy to love"....in abusive, unhealthy situations, it's not enough.
blessings.
