There are many reasons why I’m not married to a man. Probably the main reason is a man’s body is disgusting... of course, I’m glad my wife has different taste than I do (aka she has terrible taste). One of the other reasons I wouldn’t want to be married to a man is men can be stubborn, especially … [Read more...]
Dealing with Those Nagging Thoughts
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found I have these old memories suddenly return and haunt me. I teach the importance of looking for the good in the memory and then distracting yourself, which is a very healthy way of dealing with negative memories, but I recently had a memory where I decided I needed to … [Read more...]

This new tool isn’t going to revolutionize anything, but it made the couple I was … [Read more...]
Pregnancy – An Important Thing to Know about Men
The whole pregnancy and giving birth experience is God’s great joke on humanity: Men prefer to deal with physical pain (the pain makes sense) while women prefer to deal with emotional pain (they bond and grow friendships through sharing and listening), so what does God do for child birth?

Avoiding Those Petty Fights
Marriages are rarely broken by a major issue. In fact, more people recover from affairs and hidden debt scandals than you’d expect (there are also more hidden debt scandals than you’d expect where one person builds thousands of dollars of debt behind their partner’s back). Instead, what kills most … [Read more...]
Playing the Victim vs. Playing the Martyr
This past week I realized there’s a difference between playing the victim and playing the martyr, which is a rather important distinction to know.
