When a woman isn't heard, she starts to talk louder, and longer, and more often. And she nags because she's not been heard. That time with her needs to be a deliberate choice you make, a sacrificial choice, "I'm all yours, Honey, and I'm yours for a while." That kind of love will create a home that is a caring place, safe place for the man who lives there. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-antidote-for-loneliness-6809 2013-02-14T14:33:35-05:00 Being single doesn't mean being alone if you'll invest in those life partnerships and not just sit there saying, "Oh, when am I going to be married?" Take encouragement from this, that the God who made you need people - will give you the people you need. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-mistakes-we-make-for-love-6795 2013-01-25T11:00:24-05:00 After every "I want" should come four little words that mark the road to God's best. "It's up to Jesus." It's often our broken dreams and our messed up plans that turn our heart in God's direction. And that's where we finally find the love and the purpose that we were made for; that we've looked for our whole life. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/the-mating-game-6785 2013-01-11T09:58:11-05:00 There's a wonderful statement in Colossians 2:10 for all of us who belong to Jesus. It says, "You are complete in Him." Wow! Married or single, alone or with lots of people, you are complete in Him, and Jesus is enough. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/drawing-a-line-6783 2013-01-09T10:07:17-05:00 We're to measure ourselves by the God-breathed scriptures of the Lord himself. If you turn the light of God's Word on your lifestyle, maybe you'll see how far you've drifted. You just can't move any more. We've got to get back to God's standards for love, for marriage, for honesty, for family, our relationships. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-problem-with-panic-6758 2012-12-05T16:42:49-05:00 Those seniors who panic over singleness often get the wrong person. In their rush, they often make a life-long mistake. When they think time's running out, God is right on schedule. Remember, if you panic, you can make a life-long mistake. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/you-need-a-love-triangle-6722 2012-10-16T11:05:50-05:00 Before you get married, wait for someone who is joined to Jesus as you are, because it is worth the wait. And after you marry, practice His presence daily in your home. A love triangle with Jesus as that real third person is the strongest bond on earth. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-relationships/love-through-a-telephoto-lens-6712 2012-10-02T10:30:07-05:00 whether you're a husband or a wife, this secret of happiness is still the same. Marital and sexual fulfillment is the byproduct of focused love. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/the-wedding-day-wow-6703 2012-09-19T10:33:28-05:00 At a wedding I saw a picture of how Jesus feels about me and all those who are His - unmistakable, unconcealable, unrestrained love. And I saw, symbolized in that young bride, the response to that love - committing yourself to this One who has proven - in blood - that you can trust Him with your life. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-promise-keepers-6683 2012-08-27T14:47:22-05:00 God richly rewards the one who keeps his oath even when it hurts. He rewards the promise keepers. Oh, yeah, they're rare, but they are priceless.
