Finding Peace and Connection Through Loving Accountability

-

In today’s busy world, it’s easy to lose touch with ourselves and the people we love most. Between the noise of daily life, parenting challenges, and endless to-do lists, I sometimes find myself wound up, distracted, and spiritually off-center. But since the start of our marriage, my husband and I have a practice that helps bring peace, closeness, and clarity back into our home: a simple, structured form of loving accountability.

It’s not about control - it’s about trust, communication, and grace. When I’m overwhelmed, this ritual reminds me to pause, let go, and return to the safety of my marriage covenant. It’s a moment of humility, reflection, and emotional reset.

Afterward, I feel lighter — the stress melts away. I’m more patient with my children, more affectionate with my husband, and more grounded in my faith. It teaches me that love sometimes means surrendering pride and letting my heart soften again.

Spiritually, it deepens my walk with God. It reminds me of the beauty of submission — not as weakness, but as a choice to love, forgive, and grow. It’s a quiet reminder that peace begins in the home, and the home begins in the heart.

Through this practice, I’ve become a more centered wife, a gentler mom, a more thoughtful friend, and a more faithful Christian. Love, when expressed with care and respect, can truly transform the soul..

      Thank you. It has been an incredible journey. It is amazing how much a husband grows when he has someone who believes in him and follows him.

Some of you have noticed that I often write about discipline, growth, and accountability in marriage. These are deeply personal themes for me — ones that have shaped my journey as a wife, mother, and woman of faith. Over the years, I’ve learned that being open about the way we find balance and strength in our relationships can encourage others who are on their own unique paths. This blog will continue to focus on reflections — the “why” behind what we do. It’s a space for heart and spirit, for lessons learned and the peace that comes from order and trust. I also keep another journal called “ Lisa’s Spanking Journa l ” , where I write in a more personal and detailed account of what happens. That space is more private — it’s where I record the detailed side of things, the moments of growth and discipline that are too intimate for this public space.   This will require you to "Sign in" and acknowledge that there is " Sensitive Content Warning ."

Learning Grace and Accountability in Marriage

(sorry for posting this late- life was a bit busy. My goal is to post on Wednesday's and Sunday's) When I think back to the early days of our marriage, one memory always stands out — not because it was easy or beautiful, but because it was a turning point for me. It happened the day after our wedding, more than twenty-two years ago. I had a complete meltdown over a wedding gift that wasn’t what I expected. Looking back, I can see how silly it was, but at the time, I let my emotions take over. I was tired, overwhelmed, and still adjusting to the huge change of becoming a wife. Instead of showing gratitude and grace, I acted out like a frustrated little girl. My husband, new to marriage but already a steady and patient man, tried twice to calm me down and remind me to take a breath. I remember the calm in his voice contrasted with the chaos in mine. When I ignored his warnings and kept pushing, I could see the disappointment in his eyes — not anger, but concern. It wasn’t about t...

Can anyone Tell?

After a Private Moment of Correction There’s always a certain quiet that follows a private moment of correction between my husband and me. It’s not just the silence in the room, but the emotional stillness that lingers afterward. When we step back into the world—out to dinner, church, or the grocery store—I often carry that sense of humility and tenderness with me. It’s not visible to anyone else, but I can feel it with every careful movement, every reminder of the closeness we shared. Sometimes I catch myself being overly aware of my own body language. When I sit down, I do so gently, easing into the seat without drawing attention, but inside my thoughts race. Can anyone tell? Of course they can’t—but my mind plays tricks, making me think the whole world can see the private lesson written across my expression. There’s a curious mix of embarrassment and pride that comes with that feeling. Embarrassment, because I imagine others might somehow sense my discomfort. Pride, because I know w...
