What should be a father’s top priority?
The Fatherhood Mandate
Why Womanhood Doesn’t Demand Proof and Manhood Does
One of the very interesting, and underappreciated, things about the differences in the human male and female nature is that femininity doesn’t need to prove itself. Manhood does.
Unconditional
In the face of infidelity, one man made a commitment to keep loving his wife, no matter how he felt or how she responded. This meant accepting her without judgment no matter how angry he felt.
When Talking Doesn’t Come Easily
I have a great conversation tool I’ve used for 25 years. Throughout your day, record things to share with your wife. Making notes is a simple act that’s the basis for what I call “couple talk times.”
A Need for Grace
The more we realize that our performance will never reach God’s level of perfection, the more our excuses shatter. God’s patience makes it possible for us to learn deeper levels of repentance and joy.
Loving at All Costs
The quintessential trait of a good husband is the tenacity to love at all costs. I can’t be like Him unless I return love when my ego is wounded and unless I pursue love when I’d rather avoid pain.
Reconnecting Through Conversation
Early on, my conversations with my wife, Jean, felt deep and meaningful. Now mealtime talks tend to revolve around our boys. We need to be more intentional about having more significant conversations.
Talking About Touchy Topics
As a husband, you don’t want to ignore issues, but you don’t want to be a bully. How can you find a healthy balance? Think CR-V: compliment, request and value.
Can You Be Totally Honest With Your Wife?
One man accepts the challenge to be perfectly honest for a year. He failed many times; however, his wife prefers the man of integrity that he has become through the efforts of being more edifying.
Do Opposites Really Attract?
Differences don’t have to be obstacles to a healthy marriage. Your spouse’s unique qualities are meant to complement your own. Appreciating the way the Lord has crafted your spouse will help you grow.
