Marriage And Family
One More Time
My nearly-four-year-old has developed a habit of late. The scenario goes like this: My son does something obnoxious/out of bounds/against the rules, like hitting me in the forehead with a large foam sword. I tell him to stop. My son proceeds to lock eyes with me and do it one more time....
Childlessness-A Time for Trust

Family Prayer
As the parent of a rather strong-willed three-year-old boy, I know the value of routine. We have a routine for naptime. A routine for washing hands. A routine for brushing his teeth. These actions not only are made easier through repetition, but they also become engrained as habits. So I know...
Husbands and Wives and Submission, Oh My!
Whenever our pastor begins to preach from certain chapters in Genesis or Ephesians, you can bet that the elbows are about to start flying in the pews. We might hear “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him,” or “For the husband is the...
Date Night
Okay. So maybe sometimes my wife and I aren’t in perfect agreement over what movie to see. I’ve been counting the days until Robo-Ninja Spartan Zombies hits theaters, and she’s been longing to see Love’s Lasting Notebook in a Bottle. Then there’s...
