Over the past few months, I’ve been paying closer attention to my digital life and how I spend my time. What I’ve found is that certain platforms are consuming my energy and attention, but not giving much in return. They haven’t led to meaningful results, deeper creativity, or healthier relationships.
January is a perfect time to reflect on the past year and reassess your goals for the year ahead as a couple. Some years are filled with joy and ease, while others require persistence and growth through challenges. Regardless of the season, as Christians, we have the ability to overcome habits and actions that no longer serve us and embrace new behaviors that lead to a flourishing relationship.
As human beings, we’re naturally drawn to connect with others. We crave relationships that bring us joy, support, and strength. But while connection can be fulfilling, it can also expose us to misunderstandings and moments of hurt. Life often presents us with difficult moments when we feel isolated and vulnerable, and it’s in these times that the power of community can step in, providing us with comfort, understanding, and a safe space to begin the healing process.
Have you ever heard of anyone talking about needing boundaries? Maybe you’ve heard of boundaries when it refers to not wanting to let someone or something continue to negatively affect you. Have you also heard of needing boundaries in your marriage or relationship? Not sure you need boundaries? The Bible says that “two shall become one flesh.” This can be confusing. How can setting limits and boundaries in our relationships be a good thing, especially when it comes to committed, put a ring on it, relationships?
Emotions can be complex. They can take us on a ride we don’t want to be on sometimes. The ups and downs can be exhausting and confusing. Some of us stuff our emotions so deeply that we don’t even recognize their signals or significance anymore. Maybe our past experiences with family, friends, or even church have led us here. Understanding and untangling our emotions takes both time and lots of effort.
Have you ever wondered why you just can’t connect to your spouse? Or maybe they are acting differently? They don’t seem happy and are not interested in doing much. Maybe your husband is more angry and irritable lately. Or your wife is crying more than usual and expressing more fear or anxiety throughout her day.
Have you ever woken up and felt terrible? You didn’t want to get out of bed? Or, have you ever just felt angry or agitated for something that did not seem like that big of a deal later? Depression is confusing! Sometimes you don’t know why you feel so bad. You certainly are not sure how to snap out of it! The DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual V) was created to help counselors, psychologists, doctors, and psychiatrists to have a standardized method of defining depression.
