Making help more affordable

I thought I’d let you guys know of a change over at Anonymous Marriage Coaching (my coaching practice).  Since I started coaching I’ve had the pleasure of helping a lot of couples through coaching, and that’s been an awesome experience.  However, I’ve also talked to

Am I beautiful?

I think one of the biggest questions women have revolve around the question of beauty.  There seems to be this innate need to be found beautiful, to know that you are captivating.  Open up Google and type “Does my husband”, and the first suggestion is

Are you willing to live for your spouse?

A couple of weeks ago our church started 10 days of prayer.  For 10 days members showed up at the church every night to pray for about an hour and a half.  We prayed for our members, for our church, for ourselves.  We even prayed

When do I give up hope?

A question that comes up often in my talks with spouses is “When do I give up hope?”  After all, if divorce isn’t an option and you can’t make your spouse do anything, what are the chances that they’re just going to “come around” and be

What 2015 has in store for us

Last week, WordPress sent me my annual “year in review” email.  The results are here if you care to see them.  It’s funny, last year I had planned to post every Wednesday, and that shows…for 4 months.  Then it sort of fell apart and I

Milestone reached and something for our readers!

This Sunday we hit a pretty incredible milestone: One Million Views.  Of course, if you know anything about blogging and/or websites, you know that a “view” or “hit” doesn’t equal someone reading.  Google’s best estimate places the number of people who have read our blog

Every pregnancy is different

I’ve been keeping a secret from you.  It wasn’t intentional…it just hasn’t really come up.  But we’re at about the half-way mark now, and if I don’t say anything…it’s going to start getting awkward I think.  We’re having another baby boy!  For those who aren’t

Which gender needs to change in marriage?

My wife (her comments in purple) and I host a small group in our house, and we’re currently studying Intimacy Ignited with 4 other Christian couples.  It’s been an interesting experience, talking so openly about sex in person with people who we know.  In fact, we

Book(let) Review: Creating True Agape

Cassie Celestain over at TrueAgape.com contacted me just over a week ago to ask if I could review her booklet.  As is my policy, I never turn down the opportunity to read a resource that might help marriages, and if I think it will help, I’ll write up

What would you trade for a better sex life?
