Don't be scared off by the title! Love and War by John and Stasi Eldredge is out just in time for Valentine's Day.  And what else could Love and War be about other than marriage!  I mean where else do the terms love and war work so well together? lol.  I love my marriage, but sometimes you want to call war because of disagreements. I'll admit I wasn't expecting to get much out of this book.  We've (Mr. C & I) been together for a long time, so I've read a lot of marriage counselling books over the years.    But to my surprise I was sobbing by the the end of chapter one.  Th...

Are you a fan of Jane Austen? I know I am ever since Anne Hathaway played Jane Austen in the movie, Becoming Jane.  It's amazing how movies can bring an old book back to life.  I remember hearing of this book when I was younger, but really didn't give it a second glance until the past year or so.  It's a classic I know! SO, when I saw that there was a version coming out of this book I jumped at the chance to read it.  It is the Sense and Sensibility Insight Edition put out by Bethany House. I had to laugh because I brought this book with to the dentist the other day and I had ...

So I found a new publisher!  Their name is Revival Nation Publishing.  I am always happy to see Christian publishers coming up, and as always I'm curious as to what they're putting out! I contacted the publisher and got a copy of a few books that I'm excited to read! I also recieved some copies to share with my readers, which I'm thrilled about!  So this month's giveaway will be for a children's book!  Which I'm quite thrilled about because what a better way to encourage our children is to read to them and to have great books for them to read from! So onto the book! Jellybean b...

1st Monday Every Month at Chrysalis

Welcome to Marriage Monday!

Today’s topic is “A Love Letter to My Husband.” Today we have the opportunity to express our postive good feelings about our spouses—and to let the world know!

This is timely for me.  I actually wrote a post on here last month about Mr. C. and now that I’ve started the Respect Dare last week, this really fits in well for me.

I used to be really sappy and writing a love letter to Mr. C wouldn’t have been any thing but easy to do.  However, this week I’ve been finished the first week of the Respect Dare (which I might add that I think I need to do again cuz I want to glean more out of it!) and it’s been learning how to encourage me to see what I long to be as a wife and what I can do to help follow through on that.  I love Mr. C enough to want to be a better wife for him.  I want to write a bit differently than just “lovey” words, but rather ways I can express my love to him.  I love him that I want to be a better mom and help our children function as godly children in this world.  I pray that Mr. C will know that he is the most important person in my life and that I long for us to be used by God and that we could grow old together on an adventure for the Lord!  I’ve spent my life with a lot of regrets and battle the “what if’s” and I’m learning that I don’t need to.  The past is the past and God is moving us in new directions.

I don’t know if I’d classify this as a typical love letter to my husband, but it is a love letter because I want to change myself to better our relationship and I think any wife who is crazy enough to say “God, change me.” loves her husband a lot!

What are some of the ways you express your love to your husband?


join me tomorrow to hear about the Respect Dare!

    You’re right. As wives we need to figure out what makes our husbands feel the most loved.

    I’m so glad you’re doing the Respect Dare! Learning to express respect through our words and actions is a challenge… love and “sappiness” comes much more easily to us as women, doesn’t it?

    This is so poignant Amydeanne: “any wife who is crazy enough to say ‘God, change me.’ loves her husband a lot!” Jumping up and down clapping!

    Also, I like this: “The past is the past and God is moving us in new directions.” Amen. Thanks for the timely reminder…

    Love YOU!

  4. Sounds like a great love letter to me! I too want to know more about the respect dare. I moderate the Love Dare group over at Christian Women Take Root.com and boy, that transformed and challenged my thinking!

    Blessings to you!
