Romantic Love Has Two Stages
Before I got married I knew that there were two stages of love I just wasn’t sure how it worked.

I had witnessed both kinds of love. I... >Read More

Prioritizing Your Ministry to Your Kids
My youngest child and only daughter recently celebrated her eighteenth birthday. My baby girl is now officially an adult and I am feeling quite sentimental and reflective.
Since I accepted Christ as Savior in 1991, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t serve the Lord both within my home church and at least one non-profit organization or ministry....... >Read More

I Don’t Think My Wife is “The One”
I am married to a wonderful woman. When I first met Shelaine I was attracted to her wit, looks, wisdom, and smile. Within six months we were engaged.

Adding money to the mix only makes it worse. But, the truth is that all adults need to think about what will happen to their financial... >Read More

Save Your Marriage from Drifting
They were good people. They had made it known that divorce was not an option for them. Yet here they were, going their separate ways and leaving a path of confusion and chaos behind them.
There was no love affair to blame, no abuse that had been hidden. Just a slow erosion, a drifting apart, a building of resentments until... >Read More
