We can start by living by the Spirit while we stop following the heart of discontentment and doubt.

My husband is a natural-born leader. I quickly learned that I had to find a way of honoring his take-charge personality and not get frustrated about his desire to have the final decision on just about everything. I am not a passive person, but I chose to fall into a more submissive role in our relationship because I wanted to do everything in my power to make my marriage and family work.

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 always inspired by people who raise the bar, whether in their field of work, parenthood, or giving back.

Raising children has made me more patient and selfless.

Emotionally, I stay healthy by being grounded in the word of God, being open and honest, never being afraid to speak my mind in love, and having good communication with those around me.

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.
