I know what some of you may be thinking, “Shouldn’t “sexy” be all year round?” But the sad reality is that many couples find themselves neglecting even the “seasonal sexy.” I have coined the term “seasonal sexy” to mean the times a husband or a wife would be intentional about looking their best for a special season or occasion. In this blog, I will explore why physical attraction is an important aspect in keeping your relationship spicy. I will also explore some simple things you can do to keep the “seasonal sexy” going all year long. This will help you to enjoy your spouse. Â

The principle of enjoying your spouse comes from the wisest man in bible. Solomon writes, “Enjoy life with your beloved wife during all the days of your fleeting life that God has given you on earth during all your fleeting days; for that is your reward in life and in your burdensome work on earth” (Ecc 9:9). Enjoying your spouse is critical for a healthy and successful marriage. I understand that the pandemi...
"LOVE does not keep a marriage together." I know, it’s a BOLD statement but keep reading and I will prove it, practically and biblically. Many couples believe love keeps a marriage together, but it’s not love. This is one of the BIGGEST deceptions in marriage.
Â
After 14 years of marriage, numerous hours of research, observing interacting and helping many couples, I have concluded that love does not keep a marriage together but knowledge does. Love does not build and sustain a successful marriage but knowledge does. A successful marriage is the application of your knowledge of God, your knowledge of your spouse, and your knowledge of how to navigate marriage.

Many couples are stuck, not because of a lack of love, but because of a lack of knowledge. STUCK, because other things came up that were stronger than their love for each other. It could have been financial difficulties, communication issues, infidelity, abuse or addictions. When you are stuck, you don’t need love, you need ...
I know what you are thinking, “How could this be?” But this is the reality for many couples around the holiday season.
Â
For this reason, I understand that sometimes it’s hard being married.
Â
And the difficulties of marriage can easily make you feel tired… discouraged… and even despairing…Â
Â
AND it is usually around the holidays, it seems …
Â
That the anger and bitterness can throb so badly…
Â
… that you just start to believe that your spouse is your least favorite person…
Â
 Yes, I said it, "You Least Favorite Person."
Â
If that describes you, or you have been in this season from time to time, keep reading as I would like to help.
Â
The question on the table is this, “What can you do if your spouse happens to be your least favorite person right now?”
Â
Now, if you are a believer of Jesus Christ, and it is your desire to please Him, and you want God’s best for your marriage, then what I am going to share with you is going to make you uncomfortable at first, but hear...
Okay married folks, the question is, “Is the grass greener on the other side?” I am sure you have heard this statement before. I’m sure this has crossed your mind. Have you ever looked at another couple and said, “I wish my husband could be like her husband or I wish my wife could be more like his wife?” This statement can appear to be true when you are not satisfied in your current marital situation. Before we go any further, let me unpack, what I usually like to call, “the marriage garden.”
Â
I love performing weddings and from the moment the bride enters the room, walks down the aisle, and meets the groom, the entire room is in awe. Why? Because, marriage is a beautiful thing and sometimes I like to think of marriage as a beautiful garden. Almost every marriage starts out as this beautiful marriage garden. The flowers are blooming, the trees are well groomed, the grass is trimmed and ultra-green, and there are butterflies. The love is strong and the glow from the husband and wife ...
