Welcome to Little Wifey!
I just want to welcome you to my blog! This is designed to be a place of information and discussion about marriages - ones about to start out, ones just starting out, ones that are thriving, ones that are troubled, ones that have ended. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I wanted to find a platform to help the struggling entity of marriage in our current society. I believe we don't have to settle for only 1 out of every 2 marriages surviving. If you will be willing to open up your mind and heart, together we can move marriages from surviving to thriving!
Welcome back to a new week and a new series. This week, I am doing a series called "It's All In Your Head." The focus of this week's series is tackling our minds to help us in making our marriage the best it can possibly be. A lot of times the battles we face in marriage begin in our heads where we process things. Our thoughts then often dictate how we choose to handle and take action in certain situations, toward our spouse, and on a daily basis in the marriage. Often we just need to change or alter our thought process to then change our behaviors in a marriage.
Think about it...when a situation arises, you begin to process what is going on, then you choose what you want to do about it and how you are going to handle it. Sometimes we are more aware of this process than other times, but regardless of how aware of it we are, that is how it goes. With that being said, I want to go over a series that talks about how to keep that mental/thought process on the up and up with a positive attitude to prevent a downhill spiral toward an argument, fight, or just generally bad situation. The series includes the following topics:
- A Positive View
- Focus on the Good
- Like There's No Tomorrow
Join me this week for a look at these :)

If we are not careful we end up with stinking thinking!!
Look at 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (Marriage is a God thing!)
Yeah, we definitely don't want stinking thinking! Avoiding it makes a world of difference!
Melinda :) - Thanks for the verse! That's great stuff. Marriage is definitely a God thing, which is a "series" I am going to talk about later on down the road!
Thanks for the comments! Keep them coming!
