“…In this environment, EVERYONE is allowed space to grow, evolve and mature. In other words, when acceptance is freely given, self-examination is imminent because you’re not competing with your self-doubt and the disapproval of your spouse. As a wife, I appreciate how gracious Shedrach is when he has to correct me or our children. He’s in charge but he doesn’t…
“One thing that I believe helped me to maintain a healthy marriage is knowing that our marriage is about sacrificial love — it’s about supporting my husband as unto Christ.
