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.

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?

I always try to get at least eight hours of sleep each night. It's the best thing I can do for my body.

Raising children made me determine what I stand for, what I believe in, and who I want to be because, ultimately, I'm who they'll look to as an example.

It wasn't about me trying to lose weight. It was all about emotions.

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

I don't think balance is ever achieved in the full sense of the word. Life is more like a juggling act, spinning plates in the air, allowing some to drop, and picking them back up or adding new ones when the timing is right.
