Mark: Jill was telling me about something that we needed to do this weekend. I was busy answering an email on my phone and I absentmindedly said a few “Uh huh’s” to feign interest in what she was saying. When she said, “Mark, did you hear me?” I had to admit that I...
Jill: Last weekend at the Hearts at Home conference, I spent some time with a woman whose marriage was at seven years of healing from her infidelity. There is still so much pain in their marriage, though, and it seems they are stuck. The more we talked the more I...

Mark: Jill and I were talking about marriage the other day with some friends. He said, “You know I think most of us get married for the wrong reason.” I asked him to explain. Jill: He went on to say that if we’re honest most of us get married to have our needs met....
Jill: In most marriages, one partner is more “efficient” than the other. One of you thinks about how to do things quickly, swiftly, more intentionally. In our marriage that would be me. Mark: I meander through life. I get from point A to point B but if I...
Mark: It seems like it’s nearly daily that we hear about another marriage breaking up. What’s so hard for me is knowing that a large percentage of those divorces don’t really need to happen. Jill: Sometimes it’s folks we know and sometimes...
