    When I gave my heart to the Lord in 1990 I was seperated from my husband and on my way to divorce, then I attended my first all night womans prayer where you told us that in Mal 2:16 it says that God hates divorce,Then I started going to women with unsaved husbands. Today my husband and I serve the Lord,and he loves the Lord with all his heart and soul, God has made me so happy in my marraige. Thank you for all you do to help us in our marraiges.

    What a wonderful blessing from our God and Father. that He has so richly given you grace in all you put your hand to. May He continually do this throught all the days of your life. I for one cannot thank Him enough for how he has used (and continues to use) you throughout my walk with Him. This day i am catching up on blogs i have not had time to read and i am blessed to be doing so on this special day. As for my husband I am truly blessed to have him in my life. He is a man after God’s heart and and inspiration to me daily when i see this love for God and for the souls of man in action. His hard work and commitment to do all he can to provide for us and faithfully serve our God. Marriage as we all know and learn quickly is hard work, but worth everything as we allow God to take our efforts and turn them in to rewards that nothing in this world can compare to. Thank you Lord and thank you Sister Nancy for you devotion to our marriages. Love you much. Your Friend and sister in Christ.

    Where do I begin? I just want to thank Jesus for his mercy and grace for my marriage. I don’t only love my husband, but I’m in love with him. = )

    I thought my husband was the one that needed changing, lol but It was all me. I didn’t grow up with a both parents; my mom was a single parent with 6 kids that had different dads.

    I didn’t realize that my hidden attitude affected the atmosphere so much until reading the blog’s every morning and asking the Holy Spirit for guidance. I have seen so much change in my whole family (my self, husband and kids). It was like my eyes were opened to see how God sees me through his eyes, it’s amazing. I want to do God’s will and his will is for my marriage to be successful (to death do us part).

    I have dedicated my life to be healthier, and started exercising. I lost 50 pounds, and it’s just my lifestyle now. That benefits all of us lol.

    Everyday there is new challenges, but through the help of the Holy Spirit I know it will be okay. Thank you for your faithfulness, and know this not only helps me, but it helps build God’s church, and sets a foundation for my children when they get married. Again, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sincerely,

    Angie Pasos

    Hi Sister Nancy…I have been receiving your blog for about 4 months now and I love getting a fresh point of view every day for my marriage. I get convicted alot and pray that I will apply what I learn to my marriage and make it stronger. I know that I have learned alot from the blog and I’m very grateful.

    I’m sorry but this is my first time commenting. I’m kind of shy, I don’t even have a Facebook lol but at this point it would be very wrong of me to reap so many benefits from this site and not say thank you. I’ve been a daily reader from the begining and I really thank you so very much. This site has made a huge difference in my life. These emails I receive serve as a daily reminder to me that my marriage is a number one priority after my walk with Chrst. I’ve been able to use these posts as a witnessing tool and as an encourager to others. The Holy Sprit truly uses these posts to minister/rebuke me. You see I’m the type who can read something and forget it right away, but the Holy Spririt will always quicken of the things I read when I’m put to the test. Thank you for building me as a Christian and most of all for building me as a wife.

    Woo Hoo!!! That is awesome Sister Nancy!!! Im so proud to serve under Amazing leadership. You have set the bar high for all of us following behind you.

    I am so greatful to God for my marriage and that it is growing in the way God intended it to grow. Ive always loved my husband but Im finding myself more in love with him than ever. Seeing him operating in Gods will makes me more attracted to him than ever!! I just pray that God gives me the boldness to operate in his will too. Its so true that when you love God and put him first he shows you how to love those around you in a deeper way:)

    Ive been the wife serving God by myself so now that we’re serving God together I refuse to take my husband/marriage for granted. I thank you for all your advice and words of wisdom. Im also thankful for this blog that encourages me and puts me in check daily.

    Me, Levi and the kids love you and your family dearly. You and Pastor Richard have always shown us so much love and we appreciate all the faith and trust you have in us. You are always in our prayers!!!!

    It’s been about 20 years that I’ve been serving the Lord. I’ve seen miracle after miracle in my life. The greatest miracle and the one that has been the greatest witness is the miracle of healing and restoration in my marriage. I tell people all the time what God has done and they see it, believe me…My family, his family, our neighbors…what a powerful sign of His greatness and goodness! I can’t imagine where I would be without my God and without my husband. To God be ALL the Glory!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thank you Sister Nancy for obeying His call and being an example to me. Love you so much!!

    Your blog helps evens us who are single in having a closer relationship with God. I have applied some of your posts to my life in having a closer relationship with my Savior. I was challenged to make adjustments in my character and also as a single parent. Sis. Nancy, God has used you as a tool to give us single persons a revelation of the covenant we have with our God. Thank you.

I agree that the Holy Spirit can use it as a guide for us to use in our daily life. While I am typing the posts, God will tell me how to treat my children and others as well. Thanks for being the powerful testimony that you are to all of us. Love you

    50,000 views Congratulations what a blessing and how exciting!! I thank God for blessing me with my husband, April 24th will be our 2 yr. anniversary. I always love reading your blog wanting to learn how to be a good wife and be a blessing to my husband. The Lord convicts me and shows me the way I’m supposed to be and not just as I am reading but throughout the day I hear his voice reminding me of the things I have learned. So many things to list… from respecting my husband to always looking good for him. Thank you Sister Nancy for writing this blog I look forward to learning more.

I am blessed to hear that you are being sensitive to the Holy Spirit as he guides you into His plan for your marriage. I appreciate your encouragement about the blog. God is glorified through our marriages.

    I thank God for this blog because it has helped me tremendously since I started reading it. I have learned to view my husband in a different way which is the way God views Him. I was so focus on his wrong doing that I wasn’t focusing on my life and my wrong doing and not applying God’s word in my life the way God commands me to but only when it was convenient. I’ve experience such transformaton in my life that I even print copies of your daily blog and pass them out to the women in the church that have no access to a computer and forward it to those who do. The Lord has given such a burden for the women in my church that have similar problems in their marriages like I do. I thank you for your love and devotion to the Lord and to the women that you touch daily thru this blog.

      Hi Martha! Thank you for your great comment. Every word was such an encouragement. I love the fact that you share it with other hurting wives. That is an answer to my prayers for restoration of marriages. God will reward you for carrying His message of “spousal love” to others who are looking for answers. You are so precious to me!

    Your words of wisdom have become a voice of reason when insanity wants to reign. Your words have calmed many storms, lit uncertain paths and directed my steps. Your wisdom has helped me to hold on when it would seem easier to let go. Your words make me laugh, get me mad, make me cry and sometimes give me a necessary kick where I need it. So, don’t stop. Marriages are under attack and you are helping us to be armed and ready to fight for our homes, our hearts, our husbands. Keep speaking….we are listening.

    Where do I begin…!
    I’m going to try to find the most accurate words to express my gratitude for all the help you’ve awarded me these past 20+ years. I feel the most profit for me has been by example of how you are as a wife and a mother, not just in the easy times, but I’ve watched you when trials and hard times have come too. Coming from a divorced home where I was raised by only my dad, and where marriage and being a wife was not modeled to me, I found myself at a huge loss and disadvantage. That’s where you came in, thank God and thank you for sacrificing your time to bless us each day with a new marriage blog. God knows everyone single one has helped me, and at times, the one you post has been exactly what I needed for that day. The way you convey what the bible says (God word) about what a wife NEEDS to act, look, and behave like makes my life so much easier. Because of it I’ve been able to completely understand what God desires and requires of me as a wife and mother. I’m not sure if anyone can ever truly put into words what a blessing you and your marriage blog have been! All I can say is; great is your reward sister Nancy for all you’ve done to enrich each and every one of our marriages!!

      Hi Alicia! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment. Your kind words have been a great encouragement to me. I appreciate all the behind-the-scene support that you have given me through the years. May your life and marriage be blessing for God to enjoy. Keep up the “good fight of faith.” You are an example of a godly woman. Love you!

    Sis Nancy,

    Words cannot express just how thankful I am for what you do, this blog for marriage, and the cherry on top is that it’s all God centered! WOW!
    It is so so needed. As a newly wed It really equips me and helps me and keeps me in check. I am just so thankful!
    I’m so blessed to have a marriage where God is the center especially because before I gave my life to the Lord I had lost all hope for marriage, I thought it would never happen! Glory to God that He had much better plans for me!
    Your blog is worth reading and It is so needed! Lets prove the world wrong with our marriages!
    So blessed to have you.

    Love you
    🙂

    Thank you so much for all of the time, love, and effort spent on this blog! I have been reading it daily from the begining and let me tell you it could not have come at a better time for me. My husband and I were going through some pretty heavy things. The fighter in me felt beat beyond belief. I was ready to just throw in the towel and had no desire to fight for my marriage anymore. God is so good and faithful though!! With good friends, family and Pastors by my side battling with me through prayer we are and will continue to make it. Your blog has had tremendous impact in my marriage!! Not only have I read it but applied it (some not all….still working on a few things;) Thank you Sis Nancy!

    A great celebration for a great project. It’s no easy thing coming up with something relevant, challenging, fresh and impactful day after day, so thank you for your dedication. What you are doing here is very far-reaching – when marriages flounder our families crumble, and when families crumble the entire nation loses it’s way. People might not like to hear that these days, but that’s the way it is. Keep up the great work, and thank you!
