My family.
Why losing my keys is a marital issue.
The following is a frequent interaction in our home: Me: (Frantically searching, rushed) Have you seen my keys? Him: (Oblivious. Completely.) No. This probably seems pretty straightforward,no? A question is asked, a question us answered. Ahhh, but let me take you layers deeper into the world of marriage. Here’s the … Read more
Christian Divorce?
In a desperate attempt to make up for the fact that this blog ostracizes divorced people, I am declaring National Hug-A-Divorced-Person Day. Also, more importantly, I present to you a guest blogger: My sister! Hey friends! First of all I want to thank my baby sister for inviting me to be her very first guest … Read more
About a Boy… and a Girl
Relationships don’t thrive because the guilty are punished, they thrive because the innocent are merciful. So I want to tell you about a couple I know, ‘The Boy’ and The Girl’. They’ve been married for some time now. They love Jesus. Love their kids. Love to laugh. And recently, they went through a pretty terrible … Read more
Truth, CAPS LOCK and BP

I mean the John Locke running through the jungle kind of lost**. **If you don’t get this reference, then you probably don’t watch Lost and we can’t be friends. Sorry. But please continue reading nonetheless. When we … Read more
The Vows Part II
Eeeek…. December was a bad month to start blogging! So busy… but here I am. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, in plenty and in want, in good times and bad, in happiness and sorrow…. Are there any other extremes that are traditionally (or non traditionally) said in … Read more
I Rebecca, Take Thee Chris…
Let’s start at the beginning! The vows. Or another way of putting it: The lies. You just became a little worried about me, didn’t you? Don’t worry, just because I may have seen Twilight once or twice and have now [accidentally] died my hair black, it doesn’t mean I’ve turned into a sulky, depressed pessimist. … Read more
Hello world!
So I’ve started to blog! I have been saying since I first began my maternity leave that I should blog, and now, with only 3 months of mat leave left, here I am. And I’m going to blog about marriage. Not necessarily my marriage, just marriage in general. Here are my reasons: 1. I read … Read more
