Episode 98.5 // Friday Faith Followup
Even when you’re committed to your Christian marriage, it can sometimes get… boring.
Don’t worry, friend. If this is you, you are not alone - and there is hope.
God designed marriage for our good. He wants us to enjoy our marriage relationship and to bring him glory and honor as we love each other. But what about these seasons where it just feels blah? When you’re tired, stuck in a rut, and just not in the mood to put much effort in?
The gospel has hope for that. Let’s take a look.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 98 // How often do you and your hubby talk about your sex life? If you’re like most couples… not very often!
But I know that you want a great, fun, meaningful intimate relationship with your husband. You want your Christian marriage to defy the odds and grow closer and happier over time… which means your sex life will be growing and strengthening too.
In the counseling room, most couples are very uncomfortable talking about their sex life. That’s understandable! But there are some things that can help these conversations go well, and even improve things in your marriage.
Ready to strengthen this part of your Christian marriage?
Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

God cares deeply about our relationships. That’s one of the reasons why He addresses our emotions so often - because they have a huge impact on our relationships!
A great section of Scripture to help us understand what God wants for our anger and our response to it can be found in Ephesians 4. Let’s dive in for a short devotional and God’s wisdom in handling our mom anger as quickly as possible.

Episode 97 // I know you love your kids, mama… and I also know that, sometimes, they drive you crazy. That’s just real life! And those feelings of impatience, frustration, and anger make sense. The question is, how do you handle those emotions in the moment?
Yes, in an ideal world you’d be able to take a break, get away for a bit, and do something calming and relaxing. You’d get a manicure, take a bubble bath, or take a nap to calm yourself down. But in real life, we typically need to continue the interaction. We have to stay in the moment, and we have to find ways to deal with those hard emotions quickly and calmly.
That’s why today, I’m sharing 10 ideas for what you can do in the hot-button moment to calm yourself down in 60 seconds or less.
Ready? Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess
