The Secret To Transform Your Marriage

You want to transform your marriage.

You clicked the link.

You’re reading the post.

And, friends. That makes my heart happy.

You are saying YES to your marraige.

You are saying I want that. I want to transform my marriage.

The truth is there are a ton of things you can do to transform your marriage.

You could click on “topics” at the top of this screen, scroll down one to marriage and find a ton marriage tips.

You can even find 5 Daily Habits To Transform Your Marriage among the post options.

And, they would all be good ideas.

They might even work.

For little while… but deep in your heart…

“The secret to transform your marriage is…. Jesus.”

Yes. That simple Sunday school answer for each question. Jesus. Just Jesus. And, lots of prayer. But, the truth is, the answer isn’t that simple. Life is complicated. Marriage is complicated. We are two completely different people, living under one roof. Life isn’t always easy But God…

… shows us what grace truly is.

… teaches us sacrifice.

… and shows us what it means to love unconditionally.

There have been seasons in my life where I have tried to carry the burden of being a perfect wife. I have tried to be kind, loving, patient – you know all things that love is suppose to be…but I have found that without Christ, I am selfish. I am stubborn. I can be moody. I’m so imperfect. But, in those moments, I have seen my spouse show me grace… I see Jesus and I see him transforming our marriage.

Watching God transform your marriage through his power, while learning more about him and seeking him is breathtaking. Painful at times, joyous at times. But He is working. He moves in our hearts to transform us into His likeness. And we battle. Sometimes we win, sometimes we fall. But, its in BOTH of those moments we see what our marriage is made of – in the pit and in the palace. We see how far our love goes, how vast our grace is and how big our God is.

He can change any heart. Heal any marriage. Mend any break. He is all powerful. All knowing. All loving and full of grace. He loves you dearly. He is FOR you. He is FOR your marriage. Dig in deep, seek Him and pray. Pray. Pray. Pray.

  • #ad Back-to-school is here, and my food stash is ready! 📚🎒 From quick breakfasts and grab and go options to snack breaks, after school treats and an easier cleanup, I’m keeping these favorites on hand to help make busy school days a little easier.

🥞 quick breakfast: @belgianboys Bite Sized Waffles and Pumpkin Spice Bite Sized Pancakes are easy to warm up for busy mornings, and pro tip - the waffles are delicious warmed up in the air fryer for a little crisp.

🎒 on-the-go: @katefarms Kids Nutrition Shakes are one of those things I like having ready for the mornings when we’re rushing out the door. They come in Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry, so there are a few options to choose from.

🍑 snack breaks: @sunsweetgrowersinc PlumGood Digestive & Defense Plum Juice is a crisp, refreshing option with fiber, zinc and vitamin C, plus the individually wrapped Sunsweet Ones are easy to grab for snacking or lunches. And right now, you can get $2 off your next purchase!

🍩 after-school treat: @bakeful_eats Pink Sprinkle Mini Donuts and Confetti Mini Brownies are soft, fun and made with simple, quality ingredients. They’re also 25% less sugar than traditional mini donuts/brownies, and there’s currently a BOGO offer at Target!

🍦 after-dinner favorite: @bubbies Churro, Strawberry and Cookies & Cream Mochi make the perfect little sweet treat. I think the hardest part is deciding which flavor to pick!

🍽️ less cleanup: @solocup AnyDay Plates + Cups are strong, convenient and grease-proof, making them an easy addition to busy days when I’d rather spend less time cleaning up and more time with the family.

Breakfast, snacks, treats and everything in between… We’re totally prepared for back-to-school! 🙌

  • #TysonBrandPartner Back-to-school always means busy evenings, so I’m all about keeping easy dinner ideas on hand! ❤️

I picked up Tyson® Restaurant-Style Uncooked Crispy Nuggets during my Walmart trip and turned them into this simple Chicken Parmesan Bake. 

They’re crispy breaded chicken nuggets with restaurant-style flavor, they’re easy to prepare in the oven or air fryer, and each serving has 14g of protein.

We love serving them over pasta or on sandwich buns for a dinner that’s easy to put together on hectic weeknights.

Be sure to grab @tysonbrand Restaurant-Style Uncooked Crispy Nuggets the next time you’re shopping at Walmart!
