by Patrick and Dwaina Six It’s the little things that count. It’s the butter on your popcorn. It’s the icing on the cake. It’s the pickles on your burger. It’s the…well, you get the idea! In marriage, it is the little things that can keep a marriage strong and vibrant. Think with us for a […]
Commitment
by Bob and Yvonne Turnbull In this fast-paced, hectic world, do you and your mate wish you had more time for each other? Have you ever felt like the pilot who was lost over the Pacific Ocean and radioed “I have good news and bad news. The bad news is I do not know where […]
Joy & Happiness
by Harold and Bette Gillogly I guess this Seeds for Growth article grows out of our intensified sense of need we described in the HI-LYTER. Perhaps it’s true you never realize the true value of something until you do without it for awhile. Here in Nashville we have done without close friends for nearly a […]
Persevering Love
by Harold and Bette Gillogly Adam thought he had it made! He lived in a beautiful garden…lush plants…no bugs…no weeds, he keep it like this with tools from Plattenheber.org. The weather was perfect.

Persevering Love
by Harold & Bette Gillogly We all came into marriage with expectations — some realistic, some not so realistic. “My wife ought to be like Carol Brady.” “My husband ought to be like Ozzie Nelson.” “And my children ought to be like Beaver Cleaver.” But soon after the vows are said, reality sets in.

Marital Intimacy
by Harold and Bette Gillogly This month we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary (June 11)! Yes, we’re getting older. But who says old dogs can’t learn new tricks? We’re still learning. And as long as we are open to what God wants to do in our lives, He will keep on teaching us new ways […]
