Hope for Marriage

stitching up the seams, a place to start

Friends, I have just recorded a new podcast called Marriage, Hope, Love, and Longing. If you are struggling in your marriage, if you are longing for more, or if you feel your marriage is being ripped apart at the seams and you don’t even know how to begin to mend it, I pray these words will be a thread of hope.

From the Archive:

For fun, here is an old video of Randy and me singing Don’t You Want to Come with me. Paloma, who is now almost 14, was 10 months old in this video.

My favorite lines are these:

Sometimes I make you mad,
Sometimes I make you cry
But we’re here together here tonight.

I want to love you.
I will not let the sun go down
Before I show you my love

I want to know you.
I will not let our lives pass by
Before I show you my love.

You can find the studio version of this song on our album, Home.

Sending love and hope to all of you today. Thank you for meeting me here.

Love,

Mackenzie
