Happily Ever After | Holy Hygge for the Soul
I was raised on fairy-tales. Most of us were. We saw the beautiful princess get saved by her prince over and over again. We saw these valiant perfectly chiseled men riding on their majestic horses come in and sweep the thin beautiful princess off her feet while saving her from whatever calamity had occurred. We […]

Wives Submit in Everything Part 4 | Holy Hygge Marriage
“But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.” (Ephesians 5:24) Everything seems like and awful lot. I mean….its everything!

Cleanliness is Next to Godliness | Holy Hygge House
Have you ever heard the saying “Cleanliness is next to Godliness?” I’ve often wondered where that saying began and it turns out it was first recorded in a sermon by John Wesley in 1778, but the idea is ancient, found in Babylonian and Hebrew religious tracts. Being clean is a sign of spiritual goodness and […]

Submit to One Another Pt. 1| Holy Hygge Marriage
Wives Submit to your husbands. (Eph 5:22) One of the most misquoted and misused and misunderstood scripture in the Bible. I cannot count how many times I followed through with “the Bible says you have to do it. You have to submit” simply because it was thrown in my face to do so. Yet, when it […]

No Rooftop Needed| Holy Hygge Marriage
There is a Proverb in the Bible that states “Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.” (Proverbs 21:9 NIV) Other translations read as contentious, brawling, and nagging woman but one translation really caught my attention: the Brenton Septuagint Translation that reads “It is better to dwell […]

Touch… How Important is it?
When we are born we immediately seek touch. New born babies will cry until they are held and cuddled. The touch of another human being is so soothing and gives the baby a sense of security. It bonds them to their caregivers whether it be a birth mother and father or an adoptive mother and […]
