Relationships
A Season of Singleness
To my fellow single sisters, do you have a case of the winter blues? As we transition from fall to winter, some of us begin to grow as bitter as the frigid winter air. Fortunately for you, I have your solution. All you need is a perspective as fresh as falling snow…and maybe some Vitamin D.

Our stubbornness and negativity, often times, hinder us from enjoying the season.
Seventy-Five Dates
Relationship psychologists suggest that dates are not only a nice-to-have, but they're critical. Especially throughout marriage when time for dating grows scarce, it's more important than ever to carve out time to focus completely on each other, whether every few days, once a week, or every two weeks. But what does a date refer to, exactly? While many assume it means the little-black-dress and suit-and-tie out to dinner, that doesn't always have to be the case!
Signs He's Mr. Wrong
There are too many great guys out there to settle for a manipulative jerk... or even to settle for someone who isn’t a loser, but is just filling up a spot until you meet the right guy.

Her online platform - Soul Scripts - allows you to do just that (virtually, of course). The blog encourages women to pursue their faith over all else, and Jordan walks the walk and talks the talk, having waited on her Mr. Right.
The Desires of Your ❤
Have you ever seen a piece of satire that hits a little too close to home? One of my friends recently sent me this excerpt from a young, married, Christian blogger.
Our Loveless Generation
We want a second coffee cup in our Instagrams of lazy Saturday mornings, another pair of shoes in our artsy pictures of our feet. We want a Facebook official relationship every one can like and comment on, we want the social media post that wins #relationshipgoals. We want a date for Sunday morning brunch, someone to commiserate with during the drudge of Mondaze, a Taco Tuesday partner, someone to text us good morning on Wednesday. We want a plus one for all the weddings we keep getting invited to (how did they do it?
What's It Like on The Bachelor?
Waiting for Robby to call, I found myself getting those butterflies I had as a ten-year-old girl when my crush walked into the classroom. I had seen Robby on the last season of The Bachelorette, finding him intriguing since he was a competitive swimmer, and I also swam in college.
