The spring of 2009 was surreal. In the midst of a high risk pregnancy and a less-than blissful honeymoon of a marriage, I was at war. I was at war with family, friends, and enemies. I deemed my husband, his mistress, and anyone who knew about his affair as the enemy. I prayed even though…
I asked this question in a therapy session, but didn’t get the answer I wanted. I asked friends and family, but they advised “enough” had been the first red flag during the dating process. Truth is, no one can truly tell you when enough is enough. Only you know your limits and when that final…

Perhaps things are going great, and you don’t think prayer is necessary because there’s nothing wrong in your relationship right now. Your spouse hasn’t been to do anything unforgivable or unspeakable yet. Besides, isn’t prayer for…
Jonni started walking back toward the booth where she and Toni were seated. Charles grabbed her by the waist, pulled her to the side of the bar where no one could see them, and slowly kissed the nape of her neck. Her spot. She only had three and this was the man who discovered that…
