Once upon a time . . . I recently attended a Disney Institute (DI) Course. Ironically, for this marriage blog, I was not attending a marital workshop. I was actually taking a class regarding leadership principles. However, could you imagine a Disney Class on marriage?! What would “Disney Magic” look like as a couple strives…

Katelyn sat in the chair across from me. She was soon to be married to the man of her dreams. Fidgeting with the hem of her flowered dress, she crossed her tanned legs and shyly looked away from my gaze clearing her throat, “I’ve read in the Bible that sex is sacred. Jason and I…

Healing from the trauma of an affair is rarely easy, and it’s rarely straightforward. However, I’ve worked with many couples in counseling who have come back from the devastation of infidelity to rebuild a strong marriage/relationship, so I know it is possible. If you’re on the road to affair recovery, one thing that’s important to keep in mind is that seeming “backsliding” doesn’t mean that you’re not making progress. Indeed, despite how frustrating or unexpected that apparent regression can be, sometimes it means that you’re further along than you think. Let me explain…
I’ve previously written on the early stages of recovering from an affair, but this time I’d like to talk about a common problem often encountered further along the path. When we are deeply wounded by a person who has been hugely important in our life and who remains in our life after the wounding, we need to find a way to protect our emotional center while we heal. That protection requires us to be less vulnerable with our partner, a state of being that’s understandable and useful when coping with the shock and pain of an affair, but a state that we will outgrow when we’re ready for
I have to admit, when I first got married I had this false idea that we were going to be in marital bliss for the rest of our lives. I believed that all of our problems would just fade away and that I would finally live the life I’ve always wanted. This was not always…

Tetelestai. The last word that Jesus spoke before dying on the cross means, “It is finished.” The atoning work of Christ is complete. Our immense debt to God is paid in full. While Jesus was hanging on a cross outside Jerusalem, a thick curtain was hanging inside the Jewish temple. This ornate veil marked a…

“God is an awesome, amazing, miracle working God and we are a Supernatural people.” —Brian O’Donnell The word Supernatural is defined as: “a manifestation or event attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature… unnaturally or extraordinarily great” Marriage, purely by definition, is beyond scientific understanding, unnatural and extraordinary, therefore, marriage…

Authenticity in your daily living is a sweet congruence of your beliefs, values and actions. Your inner world and outer world align and there is a synchronicity or balance between who you truly are as an individual and how you conduct yourself in your life. You are not bound by any narratives around how you “should” be but rather you live a reflection of you at your inner most core.
Ah, it sounds very peaceful doesn’t it? Why would we all not be living in a blissful state of authenticity where we could be free to be ourselves? Not everyone has the insight, awareness, tools and drive to seek an authentic life and there are good reasons for this. But it is an excellent goal to work towards.
Consider the following signs of living authentically and honestly reflect upon whether they exist in your life. Maybe there are a few you can begin to integrate?
Authentic Life
You know yourself deeply; your wounds, strengths, vulnerabilities and successes.
You have worked through or are working through your stuff to be as clear as possible about who you truly are.
You take time to reflect and re-assess what’s important to you and realign if needed.
You seek to connect
I have been doing a lot of reflecting lately. With a newborn in the house, a toddler running around, and a home-buying process in full swing, things have been challenging in a new way. Whilst thinking about the many changes, obstacles, and unforeseen challenges we have faced over the last few months, I felt the…
