There’s a strange kind of emptiness that shows up in marriages that were once full. It doesn’t always come with yelling or betrayal. Sometimes, it’s just the slow realization that love has become a performance—something you must work for, wait for, and maybe never fully receive. And when that happens, something inside you begins to…
Not all distance is physical. Some of the deepest loneliness exists inside relationships—especially in marriage. You sleep in the same bed. You make decisions together. You might even laugh and function like a team. But affection? That feels miles away. Not just missing—guarded. Conditional. Something you have to earn. That’s where I live right now….
These days, it’s easier than ever to feel productive while missing the point.

Keyword: fear There are days when the future doesn’t feel full of promise.It feels terrifying. The clock ticks. The body ages. Even the smallest indulgence—like a drink—feels like a betrayal, a step closer to the end. We work, we hustle, we reflect… but underneath it all is the ache: What is it all for? For…

They weren’t trying to be cruel….
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Talk is cheap.” And when it comes to love, that saying couldn’t be more true. Love isn’t just about the words we say—it’s about the actions we take. How often do we hear, “I love you,” but see no proof of it? Or, on the other hand, how often do…
We hear it everywhere: But is self-love a biblical truth or just a modern mindset wrapped in feel-good language?
