[How to have a FIYA Marriage] Secret #19 All the...
God is an accountant. Things always add up. He calls it you reap what you sow. But you don’t sow trees, you sow seeds. Little tiny seeds that end up becoming big oak trees.

When people act immature around us or if our children start whining we just tell them to “Quit being a Tuht (rhymes with foot).” This is when our kids throw temper tantrums or complain their brother hit them or begin to threaten to take their ball and go home. Now this kind of...

You would think this would go without saying, but often times those are the things which need to be verbalized. Its never works out to criticize your spouse publicly.

A Little saying my Dad used to reference from Alcoholics Anonymous was “You are only as sick as your secrets.” I know in a marriage this is definitely the truth. See - here’s the deal.

Ask the hard questions. Am I wrong? Am I being selfish? Am I being prideful? How can I change me? What could I do differently today? Am I allowing less important things to take my focus?
