Blogs that will transform your relationship and marriage
There was a couple I once spoke with who told me, with a mixture of frustration and exhaustion, “We don’t fight that much… but when we do, it just goes completely wrong.” As we began to talk, it became clear that their issue was not the frequency of conflict. It was the way conflict unfolded
There is a conversation I have had more than once, and it usually begins in a way that surprises people. Most married people will say “I still love him… I just don’t like him right now.” And the moment she says it, there is often a quiet sense of guilt that follows, as though she
There is a subtle but significant shift that often happens in dating, and if it goes unnoticed, it can quietly shape the entire direction of a relationship. It is the moment when someone stops seeing the person in front of them clearly and begins relating more to who that person could become. I have seen

A woman I once coached told me about a relationship that looked promising at first. They met through mutual friends, and the connection felt easy from the beginning. They shared similar interests, enjoyed spending time together, and quickly built emotional closeness. But after several months of dating, something began to concern her. Their conversations about
A woman once wrote to me after reading one of my articles about singleness. Her message was thoughtful and sincere, and one line stayed with me. “I know God has a plan for my life, but sometimes I wonder why this season feels so long.” She wasn’t angry with God. She wasn’t questioning her faith.
Over the years, one of the most common things women have shared with me during coaching conversations is a quiet feeling they carry but rarely say out loud. It usually sounds something like this: “I feel like my life hasn’t fully started yet.” On the surface, everything in their life may look stable. They may
A woman once told me something that I have never forgotten. She said, “Everyone celebrates the wedding, but no one sees the years before it.” We were sitting together after one of my talks, and she was sharing her story of singleness. She had watched many of her friends get married over the past several
In a world that often measures a woman’s worth by her relationship status, Whole Before the Ring offers a grounded, faith-filled perspective for Christian women who desire marriage without losing themselves in the waiting. This book is not about rushing toward marriage, settling out of fear, or putting life on hold until a ring appears. It is about learning to live with confidence, purpose, and wholeness right where you are.
At its core, this book reminds you that your life has value now. Your identity is not defined by your marital status, and singleness is not a delay or a lesser chapter. It is a meaningful season that can be lived with intention, clarity, and joy.
