Welcome to June! Can you believe it? Where I live, we’re just now enjoying consistent 70-degree days. I’m soaking it in. This week, Dave and I celebrate 43 years of marriage—a true miracle for those who know our story. If you haven’t read the whole journey, I’d love to send you a copy of our book. Just cover the small shipping fee. [Click here for details.] Consider You’ve probably heard me mention Dr. Gary & Barb Rosberg before. This year, Dave and I get to learn from them each month in a coaching group—and wow, it’s been so encouraging. If there’s one thing we’ve learned since our marriage nearly fell apart, it’s this: you never “arrive.” Marriage needs regular care—like a garden that thrives when you water and tend it. Dr. Gary says, “Guard your heart. Because what fills your heart will overflow into your marriage.” That one hit home. What’s one small way you could water your marriage this week? A kind word? A shared laugh? An honest moment? Little things matter more than we think. Reflect “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” —Ephesians 5:21 What does mutual submission look like in your marriage? How might it shift the way you approach one another this week? 🙏🏻 May I pray for you? Dear God, Thank you for the gift of marriage, even in its messiness. For Reader, I pray for tenderness, renewed connection, and courage to love well—even on the hard days. Fill her heart so it overflows with Your grace. Amen. P.S. Need hope for your marriage? Dave and I have walked through the fire and come out stronger. I’d love to send you our story—just cover the shipping cost. |

On a recent walk through the city, we stumbled upon these unexpected beauties tucked between concrete and steel: It always amazes me how something as simple as flowers can soften even the hardest surroundings.
