What If My Husband Never Changes?
Question: What if our marriage never changes, what if the bad things he’s doing aren’t just a phase, like people keep telling me? There was a period of a few months when I lived in the most emotionally uncomfortable place I’d ever been. I had woken up fully to my...

Waiting
I’ve caught myself saying things like this over the past month: I desperately need Christmas this year, and I’m holding out for the miracle, and I need the arrival. But what does that even mean? How can I be waiting on something - or Someone – who already came? How...
Advent: Are You Ready?
Advent. I love this word even though I was not raised in a tradition that observes it. A simple glance at the dictionary shows me why it resonates with me. n. a coming into place, view, or being; arrival A coming into. We head into the holiday season and into the...
Getting through the Holidays
Are you in a hard marriage? Are you separated? Are you divorced? Are you a single mom? Are you dreading holiday gatherings? Are you dreading not having plans for Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve or Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve? Are you dreading not being able to do...
