We date, fall in love, get married, have kids and the rest is a blur, right? For some it is, for others, not quite so. It cannot be stressed enough the importance of being reminded that our marriages need to remain strong despite the daily hurdles [...]
One of the biggest and yet most under addressed concerns facing Christian couples today is how to bring together or gel a blended family. With divorce being more prevalent today than in past generations, it follows that 2nd marriages that include children from previous relationships, are also more prevalent today, than in the past.

I’d love to have a chance to talk to whoever it was that said men aren’t supposed to cry. For some reason, it seems like society has become convinced that only women have emotions and if a man shows emotions, he must be feminine rather than manly. Except anger, of course. Anger is different – [...]
For many men there can be a level of anxiety that always is present when it comes to leading our family. That anxiety typically revolves around either not having a father as a role model or not having a good role model to pattern themselves around. So how does a man lead what he has [...]
Deuteronomy 24:5 “When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out with the army nor be charged with any duty; he shall be free at home one year and shall give happiness to his wife whom he has taken.
