She began this blog to share her journey as a wife, unveiled, uncovered and wide open, to purge her heart of the pain she has encountered and to encourage other women in the world who are, have been, or will soon be wives.

This is meant to be an open forum where women can ask questions and share experiences in an effort to be heard and get advice from each other.

The Generous Husband

This blog is about learning how to “go the extra mile” for your wife, rather than doing only what you think is “required”. True generosity is giving someone what they most want and need, even if they don’t know they need it. Being a generous husband requires being a student of your wife – knowing her, learning what blesses her, what comforts her, what turns her on, what makes her feel secure, and so much more. I will discuss all areas of marriage, and the wondrous complexities of the female mind. I will provide hints and suggestions to help you find out who your bride is and how you can be the best, most generous husband possible.

To Love Honor and Vacuum

My passion in this life is to help strengthen families–to equip women to be the best wives and mothers they can be, and especially to cultivate marriages that are rock solid. I don’t know exactly how I migrated from mostly talking about parenting and marriage to talking about sex, but sometime in the last five years I became the “sex lady”. And so now I blog and write regularly about how to make sex awesome in marriage!

Holy Catholic Marriage

“Gary and I have been preparing couples of all ages for sacramental marriage in the diocese of Phoenix for over twenty years. In addition, we mentor married couples who have hit a stumbling block and are at odds with each other. Even though Gary has a Ph.D. in Psychology, this is not therapy or typical counseling, but couple to couple mentoring. We each mentor from our male and female perspectives and listen with discerning hearts to the couple’s complaints, frustrations and issues. We shine the light of Christ found in Scripture, Church teaching and the sacraments onto your marriage to assist in addressing the core reasons and solutions to their issues.

We believe the goal of a healthy, happy, holy, sacramental marriage is not to be married fifty or sixty years while living disconnected, unloving lives, but to be more in love with each other than on your wedding day. Our goal is to help couples live their love in a way that allows them to achieve complete intimacy in which their love is a sign to others of Christ’s love for His Bride, the Church.”

While the materials are primarily intended for a Catholic audience, it is hoped that Marriage: Unique for a Reason can be of assistance to all people of good will who seek to understand the truth and beauty of marriage. The truth about marriage is accessible to everyone because it is grounded in the nature of the human person.
