Who can relate? In all marriages for peace to abound, at least one person at any given time of conflict has to decide to relinquish their right to be right or humble themselves for the weaker vessel who is often wrong. Would you agree? Why or why not?

Today is a new day. It is a new day to extend love, grace and mercy to your spouse and your household, in addition to others. "For blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy." Matthew 5:7

A FRESH NEW LOOK! ❤️
We did it! We finally completed the newest updated to our BS How to Build a Successful Marriage website. We are so excited about this next chapter that God has brought us through and to.

BS Marriage is more than a website. It represents our personal journey—and our desire to use the lessons God has taught us through more than four decades of marriage to help couples build stronger, healthier, more successful, and Christ-centered marriages.

And now, we can really focus on completing our second book before the end of the year!

This book is very different from our first. It is for married couples who are hurting, tired, weary, disappointed, disconnected—and perhaps even wondering whether they should stay or leave.

We understand the pain.

We understand how unresolved hurt, resentment, disappointment, and negative emotions toward your marriage—or your spouse—can begin to affect not only the two of you, but your children, family, friendships, work, and every other area of your life.

We understand the struggle because we have known struggle. We understand brokenness because we have experienced broken places in our own marriage.

But Angelo T. Haygood and I also know something else:

God is able.
He is able to heal what hurts.
He is able to restore what has been damaged.
He is able to rebuild what appears to be broken beyond repair.
And He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. — Ephesians 3:20

In this season of our lives, Angelo and I believe God has given us another assignment: to encourage couples who may have lost hope and help them begin rebuilding the walls of trust, communication, friendship, intimacy, faith, and commitment in their marriages.

We don’t write from a place of perfection. We write from experience, faith, lessons learned, mistakes made, forgiveness received, and the grace of God.

Our second book is becoming richer and more meaningful with every chapter, and we cannot wait to share it with you.

Until then, we invite you to visit our fresh new home:

Because broken does not always mean finished. Sometimes, broken is where rebuilding begins.

TUESDAY’S TIME TO TALK
Let’s talk today. Let’s have a real mature discussion about marriage. What if you treated your spouse as God’s greatest earthly gift to you?

How would your words change? Your attitude? Your actions?

When we began seeing each other as God’s precious gift, our marriage changed. It blossomed. We became more intentional with our words, quicker to forgive, and more eager to extend grace. The more we honored God’s gift, the stronger our marriage became.

Marriage isn’t about marrying a perfect person because none of us are perfect. It’s about faithfully loving the person God has entrusted to you. Every day is another opportunity to choose love, kindness, mercy, and grace.

How would your marriage change if you intentionally treated your spouse as God’s greatest gift every single day?

TUESDAY’S TIME TO TALK
Married Couples Everywhere… It’s Tuesday, and It’s Time to Talk!

Is forgiveness something that is difficult for you? It certainly was for us during the early years of our marriage.

When we were upset with one another, we would sometimes withhold our love, affection, and forgiveness for an entire week. Over time, that became several days. Then we convinced ourselves that we were at least “entitled” to stay upset for 24 hours.

Knowing what we know today, we now race to forgive one another. Why? Because forgiveness is that important.

As we studied God’s Word, we came to understand the seriousness of Jesus’ teaching. According to Scripture, God expects us to forgive others just as He has forgiven us. Realizing that our own fellowship with God could be hindered by an unwillingness to forgive completely changed our perspective.

Today, forgiveness has become a race in our home—not because it’s always easy, but because honoring God is more important than holding on to hurt.

It took time. It took practice. It took humility. But faith is meant to be lived, not merely believed.

To the Husbands:

Keep your home covered in prayer. Do not allow pride or unresolved conflict to keep you from living according to God’s Word.

“Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect… so that nothing will hinder your prayers.” — 1 Peter 3:7

To Both Husbands and Wives:

Our desire should be to enjoy God’s favor in our homes. One of the greatest blessings we have is the privilege of talking with God through prayer. We should desire His forgiveness for both our public and private sins.

Jesus gives us this reminder:

“And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” — Mark 11:25

May we all choose forgiveness quickly, love deeply, and honor God daily by putting His Word into practice in our marriages.

Would you agree that forgiveness is one of the greatest keys to building a stronger, healthier, and happier marriage?

Seek peace each and every day in your home through the words you speak, the thoughts you think, and the prayers you seek.

May the Lord bless you with the peace that surpasses all understanding as you seek to honor Him and become a peacemaker in your home and in the lives of others.
