5 Ways to Save Your Marriage
Check out my Guest Post “5 Ways to Save Your Marriage” on my friend Susan Croox’s blog – Glorious Mom Blog. Susan and her husband have three young kids, and their middle child has autism. She loves to share everything she’s learned with other moms on the same journey. One of the things I love …
If Only He’d Do What I Ask!
Last week we started exploring codependency, a pattern of relating that negatively affects many marriages. Quite a few times I’ve been asked, How does codependency start?
