It’s been nothing but change since August of 2018. I have been experiencing the life-changing events of being an empty-nester.

Now that we are empty-nesters, we have more time together as a husband and wife, but there’s this sadness mixed with excitement lingering in the air.

“An oldie, but a goodie.” “Tried and true.” When you read these sentences, you may think of music, sports, or a home remedy. I want to ask that you look at applying them to another aspect of your life — your marriage. How are you overcoming passivity?

Let’s talk about how to lead your wife. In a small-group setting, the discussion circled back around to our sin-beginnings and the inevitable finger-pointing at Eve. My wife, intrinsically knowing better, leaned over to me and whispered: “The buck stopped with Adam. He failed to lead.”

Love your wife. Not always so simple for today’s society. We have lost our families. Divorce is climbing at an alarming rate because men have lost the sight of just loving their wives. I know I know, we cannot be perfect. We are faced with temptations every day.

Are you intoxicated with your wife? A couple of weeks ago, this piece of scripture hit me and thumped me. As a husband, there are so many things that I struggle with, and one of those things is letting God’s word run my marriage.

Ever be intoxicated always in her love.
(Proverbs 5:19b.)

Here we’ll take a look at how Genesis shows the creation story and the beauty of marriage.

“I’m a self-made man! I got here by all the things I’ve done throughout my life.” Sound familiar? I’m sure you have either heard a man say this or even said some variation yourself. We tend to think we are in control despite that being far from the truth.
