The Power of Shared Passion in Marriage: Transforming Lives Together

I regret not keeping up with the marriage articles I used to write. By now, I’d have well over a thousand! Life just got in the way, and I let that sidetrack me from God’s main purpose for our marriage.

So now I’m diving back into those older articles, reworking some of them to make sense for where we are today.

Writing has always been a passion for me. I even wrote one or two marriage pieces each month for a magazine, though it’s no longer in publication.

We’re finally planning to launch the Inspired Marriage podcast in February. I may share the details about why we haven’t launched until now as we go along.

Right now, I’m trying to organize everything because in 2025, I want to be sharing our marriage addiction story on 5–10 stages. And I’ll also have the Inspired Marriage book completed in 2025. I’ve actually started rewriting it. I had around 10–15k words already, but I decided to start fresh. I recently finished the outline, introduction, and chapter layout, so I’m ready to dive into the heart of the book. This book will weave our story into a framework for building and sustaining passion, love, and purpose in marriage.

I know this foundation should have been laid down a long time ago, but better late than never, right?

As I get older, I’m more aware that I’ve lived more years than I have left at 53. None of us know how much time we’ve got, but we do know it’s limited. I never wanted to just live life—I wanted to live with purpose, to live a life that God uses to touch other marriages.

I’ve known since we got married 22 years ago that God would lead us into a marriage ministry. I just never knew what form it would take. Even with that calling, I almost destroyed everything in the middle of my own addictions.

Over the years, I’ve often sensed when something wasn’t right with other couples. I’d tell Sandy, and sure enough, I’d be right every time. I’m not sure why God gave me that gift, but to be honest, I almost hate it; I’m always hoping I’m wrong.

One of our greatest strengths is that Sandy and I discuss everything—everything! It’s a big part of what keeps us strong.

As I write the Inspired Marriage book, I’m praying for the Holy Spirit to guide my words so they say what needs to be said. I’m hoping I’ll stay tuned into those promptings, just as I have over the years

The Power of Labels in Marriage: How Are You Defining Your Spouse?

Some may think, “I haven’t labeled my spouse,” but let’s be honest – we all do it to some extent. Labels can slip into our relationships without us even realizing it. And whether the label is positive or negative, once it’s there, it affects the way we see our spouse. When those labels s...
