I’m going to let you in on one of my many failures in marriage. But, I warn you…it’s not pretty! In fact it’s quite embarrassing! (If my wife is reading this, she’s probably pretty nervous at this point.) Here’s the story…
Everyone wants their marriage to work. You never hear a couple getting married make vows to love one another “till it just doesn’t work anymore.” They always vow to love one another “till death do us part.” No one wants their marriage to be difficult. Everyone wants their marriage to just work. But that’s the problem…everyone […]

I raised two daughters, and I have four grandchildren. So I’ve read my fair share of fairytales. You would think that people would eventually outgrow fairytales, but there’s one fairytale no one seems to outgrow.

Note – Though this post does not specifically target marriage, it addresses something every marriage has to deal with. Age. Whether you’re young or old, everyone grapples with their age. The young wish they were older. The old wish they were younger. Even the terms “young” and “old” are relative to our age. When we’re […]
I typically talk about what it means to have a “normal marriage.” But in these days of social distancing, “normal“ has become a thing of the past. We are all operating under a new normal now. And that new normal is…quarantine! Couples who have typically been franticly busy, running from one obligation too the next, […]

During my Senior year of High School, I began to talk to a girl who really had no interest in me. (I mean really!) But the more I talked to her, the more interested I became. So the night of our high school graduation, I asked her to go out after the ceremony. Much to […]
