Marriage Is a Practice, Not a Promise
Speaking from firsthand experience, I went into marriage believing, like most people do, that love alone would be enough to make it last. You don’t walk down the aisle planning for divorce.

What is sympathy and what is empathy?
I’ve seen quotes circulating that Charlie Kirk said sympathy is a better word to use than empathy. If that’s true, it’s important to note they aren’t the same thing. I think a lot of folks don’t understand the difference between Sympathy and empathy. And, why one is more powerful than the other. To me, sympathy…

Trust Isn’t Given, It’s Earned.
Lately, I’ve seen a lot of questions about trust, which tells me we need to talk about it. Even if you’ve been hurt or betrayed, learning to trust again is essential. Rebuilding trust starts with understanding why it was broken in the first place people often test limits when they think they can get away…
