Marriage - The 9th Year - Fruit and Harvest

By: Shawnee Eskridge , CFBCT Bible Tools: Romans 12:1 , 1 Timothy 3:1-13 Video Reference: Marriage Minutes I thought about this fact: when some people choose their profession or decide to answer their calling they are often thought to be very confident and passionate. I am very passionate about being a marriage counselor and very excited to branch out in the quest to help and heal families. However, in my walk I've also experienced self-consciousness, fear, hesitation, stagnation, procrastination and almost complete self-sabotage. My marriage is by no means perfect. That scared me the most. I tell myself all the time no marriage is perfect, but I know that the more consistent I am with my career and calling a couple’s first expectation of me will be to have it all together. Even in 1 Timothy it says that a minister is to have his house in order before working with the people of God. I try to hold myself to that line so hard. I don't tell people about the appointme...

An Every Day Friday Marriage

By: Shawnee Eskridge , Faith based Clinical Therapist Bible Tool: Ecclesiastes 3:11-13 I think we take the word "phase" for granted. Phases are inevitable.  Phases are simply a pattern of time or events that happen in a consistent sequence. The phase is guaranteed. The moon has phases and so do relationships.

A lot of the tips we share here (and across our social media) we practice daily. Lately, we've had a good streak I'd said since April of this year. The highlight I would definitely say was last Monday (June 25th). Terry already had the day scheduled to be off. It wasn't an anniversary. As a matter of fact, we were being moral support for my mother who's going through some serious legal matters. Her situation alone could have cast a cloud over the entire day...

Romance (Hers)

By: Shawnee Eskridge, Faith Based Clinical Therapist Bible Tool: Love, Romance and Marriage Off the top I had a problem for this post. It was an issue I came across trying to address the topic of romance in my marriage. "Romance" is not listed any where in the bible. However, before I wrote this post God revealed to me that the concepts of romance   are  clearly outlined in the bible. For starters " with love and kindness I draw them to me " and/or " I draw neigh unto you. ". This is my very definition of romance; the things done to bring about and nurture a deep, intimate closeness. I don't subscribe to the given definition of romance. It's specifically the " mystery " and the " remoteness from everyday life " that I take strong issue against. This is not the definition of romance I envision for my marriage. Something so bleak. Romance should fill my love tank in these areas: spiritual, emotional, mental and physical. Be...
