Please Note: The following lesson is based on a amicable conversation (even though it might not appear that way). It’s a good reminder that when you’re in a good spot and the trust is high you can have a sensitive conversation like this and it remain civil as both sides try to understand the other … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 23: Why Do Women Need Compliments?
In a previous lesson we looked at potential reasons why married men don’t compliment their wives (written as a husband guilty for this). The question remains, however, why do married women need compliments? I don’t. Most married men I meet don’t. From my experience, married women care more about … [Read more...]
Being Married to a Nice-oholic
If you were to ask me, “What is the biggest challenge you have with your wife?” (you know a question, no one asks in a normal conversation), I would say it’s her being a nice-oholic (can you guess what inspired this series?) You’re probably thinking, “If that’s the problem, that must be nice,” … [Read more...]
The two types of Nice-oholics in Action
Both my wife and I come from families who are prone to be nice-oholics, but they look very different. My wife’s side is very ADD based while mine is very Mary Poppins. What does that mean? Two very different experiences. For instance, my family is very good at looking at a clock, reading a clock, … [Read more...]

Now, I’m not saying “every” husband, but every normal husband. If a man’s been married … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 20: Something that Prevents us from being nice
I once knew a woman who told her son, “You can be right or you can be kind.” Her son was very argumentative because he always chose wanting to be right. At her funeral, her son shared with the audience that looking back maybe he should’ve chose being kind like his mom did. It’s amazing how easy … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 19: Can We Trust Jesus was even Real?
Last week I claimed the nicest thing we can do for ourselves is consider what happens in the next life and used Pascal’s Wager and my own list as a starting point. Because it’s so important, let’s go a step further by looking at Jesus from a historical standpoint. After all, we need to understand … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 18: One of the Nicest Things We can do for Loved Ones
Last month a friend of mine passed away, Rita Carrey. Yes, the last name should be familiar because she has a famous brother (and not the one who hosts The Price is Right). She’s the one who did the forward to my first Christmas book, The Happy Squire: Christmas stories to encourage & inspire, … [Read more...]
