I find it fascinating to see which of my blogs are most trafficked and shared each year. It’s almost always relationship blogs, with an occasional college girl problem. So, in case you missed it, or you’re just curious– here are my top 5 most read blogs of 2015!
5. Is This The Man I Married?!
Learning to switch my perspective from a performance-based marriage to a faith-based marriage.
My husband is a rock. Truly, he is the most consistent person I know. Every day of marriage, I have greater assurance that I know exactly who he is and how he’ll respond in any given situation.
