    Sleeping with the Loser

    March 1, 2026 / No Comments

    Jen – I used to think that every fight had a winner and a loser. When you think about this in the context of marriage, it means that after a fight, someone has to sleep with the loser. We propose that there is a better way to fight so that both spouses win.

    After the Thrill is Gone . . . How Do We Make Love Stay?

    February 8, 2026 / 2 Comments

    We recently heard the songs After the Thrill is Gone (Eagles) and Make Love Stay (Dan Fogelberg) and they have been an ear-worm, and source of reminiscing for us. Youth never imagines the thrill being gone, but it happens to all of us.

Julie: September 11 needs no explanation.  March 25 is the day my mom took her last breath after 3 months in the ICU after a failed surgery.  On November 24, John’s dad lost his battle with Alzheimer’s.  And September 28 was the day we were told to leave our church and get home to safety as an active…
