Selfishness.
My wife and I are nearing the end of our coaching, and we have made strides. Definitely not without sacrifice, though. She has started to show me more love and affection than ever, but I’ve also had her thoughts and feelings in mind more than I ever have. Although it’s not completely perfect. I’ve been…

Baptism.
I am now 6 to 7 weeks into my newfound faith, and the feeling is like no other! The more unrelenting faith I have, the better my mood and the better my marriage is going. I’m only one book through, but I’m ready to read more. At the end of the 2nd sermon, my wife…

Genesis.
It had been about 5 weeks since my journey began, and already, there have been so many many improvements in my life. I knew I needed to start reading the Bible, and I knew it was going to take forever to actually start making some progress. Honestly, it took me about 2 months to finally…

Problems.
It might seem a little backward that I am just now posting this, but I feel like it would be a good time to talk about it now. A lot of the problems my wife and I had with each other was mainly my fault. I didn’t understand the things I was doing to hurt…

Fireproof.
My wife, being a believer already, decided to take my newfound jump into faith as an opportunity to apply it to our relationship. She spent a lot of her free time praying and searching for different ways to help us. One day, she found a movie called “Fireproof,” and despite me telling her I’d had…

Faithful Beginnings.
My wife has always been faithful to Jesus, and I’ve always believed in God but never really put effort into learning more. I thought now was a chance for me to dive into something that my wife always believed in and gain some even ground with her to help our marriage. Remember how I said…

Coaching Begins.
We made our first appointment at a place called “Rock Solid Families,” with a man named Merrill Hutchinson. A man I would come to instantly respect and learn so much more from in the coming weeks. The first appointment was more about discussing what we would look forward to. He wasn’t a marriage counselor but…

What should I do now?
What should I do now? What can I do now? How do I come back from this? All these questions and more were rushing through my head. I’ve messed up. It was worst than I knew at the time. I was 8 years deep in a relationship and 3 years married to a wonderful woman.…
