From Brokenness to Biblical Marriage

​

I wasn’t raised in a Christian home, and my family life was characterized by brokenness and pain. While my mother was an example of unconditional love for her children, my father lead our home by demanding his way and instilling fear. By the time I was a senior in high school, my parents had divorced after 25 years of marriage, my sister had been through two marriages, and my mom and I were helping my brother's wife to safely leave her abusive home.

There was no example of what a biblical marriage or godly wife looked like growing up. But in high school, the Lord grabbed hold of my heart. I became a believer and, for the first time, began seeking God’s Word for direction—especially in choosing a spouse.

Following God’s command to not be unequally yoked, I prayerfully sought His will and married my husband, Andy. We’ve now been married for over 40 years, blessed with three wonderful children and seven precious grandchildren. Our marriage hasn’t always been easy. I brought into it a spirit of independence and self-reliance, shaped by the world’s view of womanhood. But God, in His grace, began to teach me a better way—His way.

 Why Faith Lived Out Exists 

Through years of learning, failing, and growing, I discovered the power of God’s Word to transform not just my heart, but my marriage and family. I learned that being a submissive wife isn’t about weakness, but about trusting God’s design and loving my husband as Christ calls me to. My journey has included struggles with pride, selfishness, and unrealistic expectations, but God has been faithful to change me from the inside out.

Faith Lived Out was born from my desire to help other women experience the same hope and transformation. As a Bible study teacher, speaker, and submissive wife coach, I’ve seen firsthand how God’s truth brings freedom, joy, and unity to marriages. My mission is to equip you with practical, Scripture-based guidance for living out your faith in your marriage and home.
