I had a great experience with the girls from PINC Magazine!  We traveled to Bolsa Chica State Beach to capture these lovely images above, shot by Michelle Yejin.  Then I had the privilege of participating in my first interview ever with Kristin Kline.

Here are a few snippets from the article:

I shared a little honesty, as far as being a Christian wife encountering issues in my marriage.  It was always a challenge to let down walls and be real with others.

“It was really hard for me to be vulnerable.  I always had to come off being the ‘good Christian’ or like I had everything put together. To look weak just amplified the insecurities that I had and it was just hard to go to that place.”

Now that I have exposed my weakness with others and have sought after accountability to be better in my Christian faith and in my marriage, I feel free from the weight of insecurities and failures.  Much of what I learned – and am still learning – to let go of was my pride.  Humility is never easy, but when we experience it, God is glorified!

I also touched on the topic of sex and intimacy in marriage.

“Growing up Christian, sex and intimacy wasn’t talked about in church. And for me and my husband, because that was a tension spot in our marriage, it was very hard to talk about sex with each other, but also with anybody else.”

My husband and I struggled in this area for years, and very often we still experience challenges.  However, being able to communicate with my husband about our sex life and praying over it has definitely impacted it in a positive way.

My passion for marriage ministry and sharing marital resources that will equip wives is my mission!

“One of the reasons I wanted to start Unveiled Wife was to also be able to be more open in the Christian atmosphere about sex and intimacy.  If I was a struggling new wife, unable to talk about it with anybody, even a close friend, there’s got to be other people out there who feel the same way.”

I hope that these small excerpts encourage you in your marriage today!  Please know that you are not alone in your struggles!  If you have a moment please check out the full article HERE!

I encourage you to follow PINC Magazine an online magazine for young women!

    To the Jones, I just want to say I understand 100% about the whole trust issue I feel the same way. My husband and I been together since last year and got married and I have had to deal with a lot of lying,things he has done in the past, I just found out he’s doing it again and he has been just totally disrespecting me over and over. There has been a lot of hurt, pain and frustrations with him!! And there has been many times I just wanted to walk away and give up, because I was so hurt and angry!! But I am not his judge the Lord is and I have to let Him deal with my husband heart.. There has been some things I have learned through this whole process is I put my trust in the Lord and not man. Man will always let you down, but God wont. I have thought back on my life and the things I have done and not once did God ever gave up on me. Also He has forgiven me for my sins and as hard as it may be sometimes I have to forgive my husband for his, It takes a lot of praying and getting help, but things can change. I don’t know your situation but I am praying that you seek God first and let Him lead you to make the right decision about your marriage. God never promise anything to be perfect in your life, but He did promise He will give you the strength to go through whatever trails may come your way. I hope this helps you and God Bless

    I am so sorry to hear that! I would encourage you to seek out wise counsel from a trusted friend or pastor if possible. Marriage is not an easy road for anyone, but the support of others close to you can help. I am praying for you right now and I hope that you receive peace!

    I read your blogs everyday and I’m very encourage by them, and sometimes look forward to them. Today has took a turn for the worst in my marriage. My husband lied and due to our history that was one of the stipulation of our relationship and marriage. It may not seem like a big deal to others but I get a different feeling bc I feel like no trust no honor to me no respect. We just got married and I was holding out on changing my last name and everything bc I was afraid of him going back down this same path. I dont know if you will see this but before I completely walk away I would like to get some insight. Plz
