by Marci Ferrell
Christian Living Communication in Marriage Loving Our Husbands Marriage

  It's not easy to stay connected with our spouses. It takes work. The busyness, everyday routines, and mundaneness of life can distract us from having more in-depth, more meaningful conversations together. My husband and I have worked hard to get moments alone to foster good conversation. We have more alone time together because our children are grown but it doesn't always mean deeper conversations are taking place. “Deep oneness can be achieved only where good communication ... continue reading...
