I’ve decided that we think we know a whole lot more about others than we really know.

Do you ever wonder if your mate can be helped? Do you wonder if their character issues are so camouflaged that no one will ever see them, much less intervene with them?

I recommend couples who cannot worship in church together find ways to worship at home together—through prayer, song, and reading of Scripture.

For those of you who are struggling with this problem, I want to encourage you with this ... fight the good fight ... have faith in God ... trust in Him. And if you fail, remember this: God still loves you! Whenever you fall, He will pick you up if you call out to Him. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 NKJV)

We are all responsible for our behavior—nothing more, nothing less. If we will do our work, cleaning our side of the street, the impact is often immense.

Withdrawing is not something new. Watch your four year old pout and you’ll recognize the early signs of ‘the silent treatment.’

Of course we want change in our marriage, whether that change is a minor adjustment or a major overhaul.

Anxiety, contained and denied, affects our bodies, minds, emotions, and, relationships. Here are 5 key ingredients to a lasting relationship, and how without them, anxiety can wreak havoc.

We interact with many people, sometimes insensitive to the needs of others. When we are thoughtless, the result can be very damaging.

It is difficult to know what to say to someone in this most challenging situation. Do we rush in to offer advice, stand back, or ask the individual involved how we can best befriend them?

He argued that his unfaithfulness was wrong, but was now over. She argued that his past meant he would always be in danger and could not be trusted.

How often have you tried to get important messages to your husband, only to find that he’s just not listening to you? Many wives experience frustration when trying to communicate with their spouses. But it is possible to get through – if you change the way you communicate.

Verbal abuse is verbal abuse, regardless of the perpetrator’s faith. Bad behavior is bad behavior, regardless of any specific aspect of their person.

We have all been wounded in relationships at one time or another. Facing those wounds and healing from them is a critical step toward moving forward in our lives.

Any married person knows about this emotional dance---being mindful of me, she, and we---and is ready to make adjustments to meet the circumstances.

A man sent to counseling, without some element of internal motivation and absent significant input from his mate, will likely end poorly.

Most of us claim to want intimacy, only to spend much of our lives protecting ourselves, denying our vulnerability.

Two different people, from two different backgrounds, with two different personalities often are the basis for conflict.

Have you ever noticed yourself becoming irritated, only to be puzzled later as to why you were bothered?
