Next week, I will begin a 10 day Marriage series in partnership with The Heart of the Matter On-line. It will be 10 days of blog hopping in conjunction with a bunch of marvelous ladies who are blogging about things such as 10 Days of Crockpot Meals, Homeschooling or keeping Jesus in Christmas!
But today I am guest posting over at TheBetterMom.com about marriage and the “grass is greener” theory. I hope you will come visit me there…
Here’s how it begins:
Sometimes we are tempted to think the grass is greener in other marriages. We imagine that someone has something better than what we have and we want it. We can’t see the dirt from our side angle. And possibly it’s super green in the front yard where people see but in the back yard it’s filled with dead spots that are hidden from acquaintances.

Wow! God is speaking to a lot of hearts about this…including mine! Thank you for a timely series! I just posted a challenge for the Thanksgiving season in this area on my blog!
Looking forward to the series!

Praying for you tonight,

Takeya- you and your family will be in my prayers tonight.
Courtney, I am so excited for another of your challenges! They are so uplifting!!!!
When I had to stay home due to a work related injury I learned that it’s important to treat your hubby with respect and kindness. I also treat my hubby as the leader of the home. In return, he works hard to provide for the family.
Even though I now work at home full time I still consider myself a housewife.
I really love your series and will find the time to watch your videos.
I then plan on providing a link on my blog to yours. Or if you’re interested in doing a guest blog post I would love to have you.
