Married Women Increase Libido by Having More Sex
Here’s the awful truth that many wives discover as soon as they’re married: sex sometimes is kind of blah. In fact, it’s a lot more blah than she ever thought it would be. But in the movies and in magazines it’s always presented as something breathless, rapturous, and amazing. We get the impression that is […] Read More >
Maybe Balance Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up to Be
Balance. It’s the buzzword of this generation. In our hectic lives, everyone is searching for that elusive thing called “balance”, where we feel like we’re living out our priorities, we’re able to get the rest we need, but we’re still being purposeful. What if the whole idea of balance is more like a millstone around […] Read More >
My Three Gifts of Christmas
Apparently I buy really lousy Christmas presents. I had always mildly suspected my shortcomings, but recently economist Joel Waldfogel confirmed them. In his book Scroogenomics, he showed rather indisputably that if you ask Christmas gift recipients to assign a value to the gifts they receive, they inevitably quote a number less than the actual cost.

Prayer for our kids’ Marriages
The panic sets in right around the time you’re putting sixteen candles on the birthday cake. You never experienced it before, but it hits you like a ton of bricks. Who is my child going to marry?

What do you do when you have quite the sexual past, but you want to have a pure marriage, with a great sex life? Can you rid yourself of the baggage from everything you’ve already done? Here’s a letter that I received recently: I am single, in my late twenties. In my earlier twenties, I […] Read More >
Sex: It’s Not All About Him
I want to give a bit of balance to what I think is often misunderstood when it comes to marriage. Lots of marriage books, and especially certain Christian circles, really emphasize the idea that wives are pretty much solely responsible for a husband’s sexual satisfaction. They should understand that it is a need that he […] Read More >
She Doesn’t Want Sex
What do you do when your partner wants sex more often than you do? In 75% of marriages the husband has a higher sex drive. If a woman feels that people are putting demands on her all day she may find that she just doesn’t have any energy left when she falls into bed at […] Read More >
Should a Child’s Room be Awesome?
When my children were first born, I did something radical. I didn’t really decorate their room. Part of it was a money issue; we had so little cash, and we were trying to save for a down payment for a house. I thought putting our money into an apartment sized washing machine would be a far […] Read More >
Spoiled Robin?
All week we’ve been watching an extremely obese baby robin who lives outside our dining room window. He’s out of the nest, but he doesn’t fly much. He just hops around, tweeting as loudly as could be, calling for his parents to bring him something juicy. For the first day or two the dad complied, […] Read More >
Sure Fire way To Teach Kids to Cook
Teach your kids to cook so you don’t have to! Here’s my philosophy in a nutshell: Each year after age 10, they learn to make one meal per year. So at 11 they can make 1. At 12 they can make 2. At 13 they can make 3. And so on, and so on, and […] Read More >
