Welcome to our first Sunday together in this sacred space—a circle of powerful, creative women committed to building marriages and lives that reflect God’s beautiful design. As wives, we are artists by nature. We turn houses into homes, groceries into meals, seeds into babies, and good men into great ones. We are resourceful, we are creative, and we are powerful! God’s intention for us was Eden—a place of peace, connection, and joy. Although the seasons of our marriages may shift, and we may sometimes feel like we’re navigating between Kindergarten and College, one thing remains constant: our love for our husbands has the potential to grow stronger with intention, understanding, and grace. This first post is significant—it marks the beginning of a journey, a movement of women committed to transformation. Each week, we’ll take another step toward growth by turning information into understanding, understanding into action, and action into wisdom. Imagine how many Sundays from now you’ll look back and see the transformation in your marriage and in yourself. The seeds you plant today will flourish into something beautiful. Homework: A Marriage Principle to Live By ✏️ What we track grows! Here’s how to start: 1️⃣ Track Your Sundays: Begin a journal to reflect on your marriage each week. Record your “aha” moments, frustrations, breakthroughs, and wise resolutions. Use this journal as a mirror to see how you’re growing—improving communication, working through challenges, and finding more peace and joy in your relationship, Sunday by Sunday. This practice has been life-changing for me. My journal is a source of therapy and self-discovery, and I encourage you to lean into this process! 2️⃣ Track Your Intimacy: If intimacy has been a source of conflict in your marriage, this might feel unconventional—but trust me, it works! Just like tracking finances improves money management, tracking intimacy can bring clarity and spark honest conversations. Keep a journal or note down the dates when you’re intimate with your husband. Often, we perceive our connection differently than reality, and writing it down creates a foundation for open dialogue. For me, this practice was transformative—I saw immediate improvement in our connection! (I’m reminded of the marriage counseling scenes from the movie 🎥 Mr. and Mrs. Smith—sometimes clarity is all it takes to find common ground.) “Ask us about the sex!” - Brad Pitt as Mr. Smith

Take a Weekend for Yourself, Not Away From Your Marriage Ladies, it’s the weekend—a perfect time to recharge, but not at the expense of your relationship. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, taking intentional time for yourself doesn’t have to mean taking time from your marriage. Here’s the truth: a healthy relationship thrives when both partners take care of their individual needs. Whether it’s reading, journaling, painting, or a walk in nature, pour into yourself this weekend so you can pour into your marriage with a full heart. Remember, rest is not running away. It’s refueling so you can step back into the partnership refreshed and ready to love even better. How will you refill your cup this weekend? Share in the comments—I’d love to hear! (This is your gentle nudge to be intentional, even in rest.) -Delyce

Good evening, ladies! Marriage is a journey, not a sprint, and every step—whether smooth or challenging—is shaping you into the woman God designed you to be. Remember, even in the moments of frustration or doubt, there is beauty being formed in your relationship. Tonight, I want to encourage you to lean into grace. Grace for yourself as you grow, grace for your husband as he learns, and grace for your marriage as it matures. God’s plan for your union is greater than the struggles you face today. Trust the process and stay committed to building a partnership that glorifies Him. You are not alone, and you can do this. Let’s keep moving forward together. You’ve got this! With love and belief in you, Delyce Here’s a poll to gauge everyone’s marriage temperature's. What grade do you feel your marriage is in?
