She loves me, she loves me not

Lord knows, we have all been there - at our boiling point, aggravated and frustrated beyond belief with our spouses.

The title of this blog comes from my thoughts of women who tend to be on the moody side - I can say this, because I sadly venture across that line every now and then.

I Corinthians 13 comes to mind - that's the famous "LOVE" chapter, ya know.

We have to have love.

We could speak with tongues of THE ANGELS, but without love, we would be like another annoying sound to one's ears.

I say I love you to Dan many times throughout the day, whether through a quick text message, an online conversation, a fast phone call or in person as he leaves for work... I say it ALOT! (Dan preached on Sunday referencing the phrase, "Actions Speak Louder Than Words." - YIPES!)

I do love, this I know...

But am I LOVE-ing? (all the time???)

For all the ladies out there reading this post...

...through our crazy up and down emotional times, please, do not make your husband ponder this old adage, "she loves me, she loves me not..."

Our desire is to be toward our husbands, according to Genesis... respect your husband - be LOVE-ING to him, and he will have an easier time loving you like Christ loves the Church.

That's my .02

Take it all off, baby!

Ha! Ha!

I knew this title would get your attention!

I have created this blog (that will be updated each Wednesday) to share insights with you on how we can build better and longer lasting relationships. (focusing on the various elements and dynamics of marriage)

"Take it all off, baby!" - in Christie's mind means:

Take off the masks, get real with yourself and your spouse, there is no need to hide behind past failures or mistakes that have left you scarred and crippled.

Be vulnerable to the one you love and watch your relationship strengthen, almost overnight.
