If you were interested, you could offer content that relates more to <strong>any</strong> aspect of Christian relationship (and not just specifically wedding planning). I'm thinking this as you do tie yourself into quite a small niche and to make a living from really helping people you may have to go into actual planning or consulting on a one-to-one basis with people. Have a check list you look through before you publish a post if you're unsure about being consistent with what you're aiming for. Ask, "does this honour God?" & "Is the advice contrary to any biblical principles?", etc. Never publish a blog post on the same day as you write it (unless it's urgent or news-related). Come back a few days later, as reviewing immediately after you will read what you <strong>thought</strong> you wrote, instead of what you <strong>actually</strong> wrote. If you decide it was wrong advice, understand why it was not right, and fix it (not every post needs to be scrapped). Every Blessing!

You don’t need to spiritualize everything to call yourself a Christian blog, but rather you call yourself that because that is the perspective you are coming from.
