Seeking Your Submission
Please join us for Marriage Monday on Oct. 4, 2010—that’s next week! Many of us now have our fall schedules in full swing and life is very busy once again. Time is flying by! Did you realize that Christmas is just three months away?
On Monday, let’s slow down. Take a breather. And enjoy some precious fellowship. It’s such a pleasure to gather on the first Monday of every month to share our joys, wisdom, and even our struggles in marriage. Isn't it?
Your Words Have a Big Impact
If you’re a regular contributor, I want to thank you for your strong support of this ministry. Did you know that countless women around the globe come to Chrysalis each month in search of your encouragement? They may not be contributors like you, but they do read. And even if they don’t comment, be aware that your words are touching their lives in profound ways.
I can't wait to meet you in heaven some day!
(See my screen shots below to get an idea of the metrics.) Do you think we can grow Marriage Monday to reach even more married Christian women? Tell your friends!
General Topic: Our Sacred Commitment
The general topic for this month is “Our Sacred Commitment.” It’s a serious topic that warrants our consideration as married Christians. Agreed? Following are four title options. Choose one, and let the Spirit lead you where He wants you to go. The last option, a “wild card” is open to your creative imagination. Thanks for taking the time to share your story.
1. “A Cord of Three Strands is not Quickly Broken”
2. How We Survived Our Marriage Crisis
3. Take Two: My Second Marriage Thrives by Grace
4. Your Title Goes Here
Are You New Today?
If you’re new to Chrysalis and Marriage Monday, you are welcome here! Please jump in and join us on Monday. Choose one of the titles above, write your heart out, and then come back and link up. Your entry doesn’t need to be fancy or clever, and you can make it as long (or short) as long as you like.

Wow...good titles to choose from! Since 2 of them don't relate to my marriage, I'll probably go with the one about the 3 Cord Strand....especially since we used that Scripture in our wedding program! :) Looking forward to writing..now just need to carve out a time to do it! :)
Are you going to cover what the innocent wife does when the husband walks away. Not with anyone else in this case but with mental health issues. Happened to me in '82 and has just happened in not quite the same way but same issue of mental illness to a friend's daughter.
I believed God called me to show how His child can grow through these circumstances and grow through the pain...to in some small sense share in His sufferings...the fellowship of His sufferings.....that I may know Him.
You cannot act. You can only react as the power to act to do anything other than pray is taken from you. And God had to show me that He will not make a puppet of the person I am praying for just to answer my prayers.
It is very relevant when you speak of marriage as you can have a happy and meaningful marriage, in my case for 3 years and then it is all over.
I really didn't feel a connection to either of the chosen titles this month (though I can't wait to read everyone's post!!). I chose #4 and created my own title---something to reflect on this last week (and every week of my marriage when I really, really think about it). I'm working on my post this morning!
Hello am here at last, i was lost between my books and requirement, and here I am at last.Continue doing what you have been doing,it will always make my day great!
Had to make my own title up to be able to connect with the topic more. So enjoy this! Glad to be part of another month.
See you all on Monday, Faith, Ozjane, Elizabeth, Gemini, and Mac an Rothaich!
