Love Your People Well | A Therapist’s Tips For Christian Mom Life, Marriage Help, And Family Relationships

(F3) Finding hope in the gospel when your marriage feels run down, boring, and just not worth the effort

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

How to talk about your sex life with your husband.. the good, the bad, and the awkward

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.

Ready to strengthen this part of your Christian marriage?
 
Let’s dive in.

Kids driving you crazy? Try these 10 quick actions to calm yourself down in 90 seconds or less.

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
