It's amazing. My kids have grown me in ways I never knew possible. The patience I've received and the love I get from them is just amazing.

The way I was raised, family was always the most important. When I had our first daughter, Natasha, I knew that's what I wanted to do.

I'm so happy and thankful I made it a point be a stay-at-home mom.

The best advice I've ever been given is being handed a Bible. That's the blueprint for marriage that we go by, and that's what our marriage is grounded in. We also have other married couples who are examples in our lives. My parents have been married over 40 years, and both sets of grandparents for over 65 years. When you see couples in long-term relationships and you see them go through good times and bad times, you realize it's about being committed enough and loving your partner enough to hang in there regardless.

It seems too easy to lie in the moment but you always have to tell more lies on top of it to cover your tracks.

Almost everyone thinks they are a good person, but the question you should be asking is, am I good enough to go to Heaven? How would you know?

Personally I'm an advocate for healthy marriages and families and I do a lot of speaking around the country sharing my faith and talking to women's groups, even specifically about marriage.
