Happy Wednesday, love!  In the realm of relationships, there is always a theme of working with abandonment wounds, and trauma. I certainly had this (you know, breaking up / getting back together with the same person 10+ times) and it’s not an easy road to heal.  There are a couple of major signs of the…

There is so much to unpack about romantic relationships all of the time. It’s not just the fairytale that so many of us have to work hard to let go of, we also have work to do around letting go of false narratives about relationships, ourselves, needs, conflict, and expectations.  Have you ever worried about…

Happy Wednesday!  For many years I have shared the statement, “you are ready for a healthy relationship when you are comfortable with change and uncertainty.” We live in a culture that wants guarantees and I especially see this in relationships. One of the main reasons some relationships fall apart is because people think what it’s…

Hello May!  In today’s Love Letter, we’re talking about “Love is Blind” – not the TV show – but this sentiment that we often hear about relationships.  I spent the weekend in Boston with family and friends, celebrating my baby shower.

This past weekend Andrew and I went to Charleston, SC, for a little babymoon! We had the best time together, reflecting on all that has happened in our lives, leading us to this point and who we are becoming. It’s easy to see photos of couples online and perceive that a moment in time somehow…

Andrew and I are off to our babymoon in Charleston this weekend! I am really looking forward to a weekend away. We have been together for eight years now, and I’ve learned a couple of things about intimacy!  We think intimacy is about sex and it’s not. So many of us crave closeness from our…

This past week my husband and I had a meeting with our builders about our new house, and it’s incredible to see the progress being made! We’re praying that this is complete before the baby arrives in July but are surrendered to the time it takes to build our dream home. We moved to Charlotte,…

The greatest gift around relationships (for me) was learning that I could actually learn how to do them well.  That it wasn’t a “secret” other people knew that I didn’t. I could develop the skills to create something amazing. This is great news for us all!  No matter what you’ve experienced so far, you can…

We have never been taught how to choose a partner, only how to chase a feeling.  Thanks to movies, TV shows, and media we think how we feel with someone is all we need to build a great relationship. There are a few difficult truths that need to be accepted in order to have an…
