Elisabeth Adams 7 Minute Read How many different emotions do you have every day? Dozens, scores, maybe even hundreds? Let’s just say that if the average woman was an air-traffic controller and her emotions were incoming planes, she’d have a full-time job telling them where (and where not) to land. Some of the most persistent and challenging of all my…
Trina Holden 5 Minute Read I’d like to state right here, for the record, that there is no such thing as a failed courtship. A courtship that doesn’t end in marriage is not a failure.

Danielle Carey 8 Minute Read Even in perfection, being alone is hard.
Little wonder then that now, with our fallen world and every distraction conspiring to get between us and God, those of us who are alone truly feel it. Adam missed something he hadn’t ever known before. In just the same way, so can we.

Guest Author 2 Minute Read We love romance and the epic drama of falling in love.
And then we get married and our “happily ever after” begins. And suddenly it’s about grocery shopping, and getting up with the baby on Saturday morning, and how to fit in a date night, and fixing a broken faucet, and the alarm clock on Monday morning… in other words, what’s known as “real life.”
Guest Author 3 Minute Read I always wondered about the moment when I’d meet my future husband. Romantic dreams of Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy on a sun-drenched morning hillside filled my mind – Austen à la mode.

I barely remember Josh at all from that day.
Kristy Howard 5 Minute Read “Do you have a hope chest yet, Kristy?”
“No, what’s a hope chest?”
“It’s a trunk full of things you collect to use some day when you get married,” MeMe explained.
My eyes must have sparkled… it sounded just like a treasure chest full of dreams! From that day on, I knew I was going to have a hope chest. But… what ever would I put in it?

Jessica Telian 4 Minute Read For us, thus far, this month has been full of weddings. In the past two weekends, we’ve had as many weddings, and while the two weddings couldn’t have been more different from each other, they’ve been filling my mind with thoughts of weddings and marriage and honeymoons and other such lovely things.
