This week, I was so excited to see a particular blogger at our linkup. I’ve subscribed to Darby’s blog for some time now, I’ve followed her on social media, and I’m always so blessed (and often so convicted!) by her posts.
This week, particularly, I was thankful for her words. They came at a much-needed time for me. She writes about self-control within marriage - particularly relating to our words. So often my reactions to my husband, when things are going wrong, are either to verbally assault or verbally withdraw (give him the silent treatment).
Darby reminds us this week that “giving your husband the silent treatment is not demonstrating self-control“. She gently reminds us that whether we’re yelling or giving the silent treatment, we are out of control.
I so appreciate Darby’s blog - not just this post, but her whole blog. I hope you’ll hop over to visit her blog and read through some of her posts. I appreciate her openness and honesty. Thank you, Darby!

Thanks for always being open about what’s going on in your heart and your marriage. It’s so nice to know that we aren’t walking alone through some of these things in our marriage. I know for a fact that God brings people across our path at just the right time, for a variety of reasons, but often so that we can know we aren’t alone. Thank you for your ministry!
