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.

  • ✏️✨ Stop stressing about a last minute teacher appreciation gift - this cute one will arrive before the end of the week!

🙌🏻 COMMENT “shop” for the links.

I threw together the easiest teacher gift idea and it turned out so cute— a key fob🔑, hand sanitizer with a holder, a gift card (because we always need coffee ☕️), and a printable tag to tie it all together.

💕or save this for an end of year teacher gift because you will need one again.

 + send to a mom who forgot teacher appreciation week too 😂

  • #ad #HERDEZBrandPartner This might be my new favorite way to do dinner lately (especially when hosting!) 🙌🏼

I grabbed the new HERDEZ® Pollo Asado Marinade Mild from the salsa aisle at Walmart and it made this whole meal SO easy. Just marinate, cook, and you’ve got the most flavorful chicken ready in 30 minutes 👏🏼

I turned it into a simple charcuterie-style board with rice, beans, corn, avocado, chips + salsa so everyone could build their own rice bowls—and it ended up being one of those dinners where we actually all sat and enjoyed it together (you know those don’t happen every night 😂).

It’s bold, foolproof, and perfect for chicken, steak, or whatever you have on hand. Real Mexican flavor made simple!

These are freezer staples. They’re quick, kid-approved, and so easy to turn into something fun—whether it’s a snack board, after-school bite, or little movie night moment 💛

Made with no antibiotics ever, 100% all natural, plus 9g protein and Omega-3s… so I feel just as good serving them as my kids do eating them 🙌🏻
