“We are living in a time when it seems as if sex is used to sell everything. From laundry detergent to pancakes, from make-up to hair dye, sex sells. We are inundated with it.”
I was doing a seminar on Sex, Love, and Marriage. During a break a well-dressed, pretty but nervous woman came up to [...]

The first time I fell in love I thought my heart would explode with joy. There was so much excitement about being in love, about having feelings for someone else so strong that each day when I woke up I wanted to know I would see his face or hear his voice. It’s been a [...]

Once in a great while you have the privilege of witnessing true, pure, selfless, unconditional love, as our Creator intended it to be, and it totally revolutionizes your understanding and concept of just what real love is. It shakes you back to reality and makes you appreciate what you have with your spouse, as imperfect and sometimes frustrating as it may be. I was fortunate enough to witness this first-hand and I will be forever impacted by [...]

Do you think Chaucer was a great listener? The great writer must be an intense listener and observer. He listens, uses his empathy, and imagines what it must be like to be the person he is audience to—the wife who has lost her husband to another woman [...]

While visiting a spa/winery in Georgia I kept tripping over bridal parties. The Saturday I was there the hotel had five weddings and a silver wedding anniversary party. That Sunday there were three more weddings. I could look out of [...]

Now here is another brain teaser for your therapist, or should I say mind teaser, the notion of curing someone with depression. Sadly, this is one of the most common causes of problems in marriages, and while we look for help from the professionals they take advantage of that vulnerability with a platform [...]

Equality: The Quest for the Happy Marriage
If you would like to get your therapist’s head spinning ask him or her what it means to be cured and watch as your therapist struggles to answer that question. The unfortunate reality is the psychology industry, with its biological foundation, has not yet defined what it means [...]

Whenever I attend weddings, which is a lot less often than I attend funerals nowadays, and it gets to the bit (at least during the Church of England service) where the vicar reads out that marriage is a holy sacrament endorsed by Christ because he attended the wedding in Canaan, I always think “Wow! Is [...]

To be honest most mornings I want to throw my husband out of the window. He comes to bed late having spent the early hours on the computer with African and Asian companies, he snores like a train in need of engine work and he is retired. I wake and look over at him wanting [...]

Of all sins, sexual sin is the most physically rewarding and brings instant gratification, therefore making it extremely tempting. It is also based on a natural desire. However, this desire, this gift from God, must be used properly and in accordance with God’s will. We all want and need food, and God approves of our [...]

When time stands still
All you can do is ponder,
And wonder how you got to where you are.
Could you have foreseen it?
Could you have prevented it?
Will you look back in sorrow
Or consider it a blessing?
You find no answers
But only long for the day
When time resumes.

On the Other Side of the Storm

Whether it is in personal, or business matters, I have always tried to conduct myself where “My Word” matters. If I say something – promise something – commit to something – I give “My Word” and try to follow through with my commitments. I bothers me tremendously, when for one reason or another, I can’t [...]

Motherhood is a noble profession and a sacred responsibility. As a mother, you are the most important person in your child’s life. Without in any way diminishing the role or importance of the father, it is the mother who has been created to be the loving, nurturing figure in her child’s life. Once children reach school-age, teachers and coaches play a primary role in their lives. Many mothers assume their role is not as vital as it was during those earlier years, but that is a fallacy. The older a child gets, the more vital it is to continue to be available. Mom remains the most important person in the life of her child, regardless of what society, or her child, say to the contrary! Our challenge as mothers is to realize that until our children have “left the nest” and established homes of their own, we are the most important person in their lives. [...]

Equality: The Quest for the Happy Marriage
We know from Darwin’s theory of evolution that the notion of development elicits controversy from many intellectual corners. If we think about the notion of development through to its conclusion then many established organizations lose their grip on us as individuals. This question becomes extremely important in relationships. [...]

Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose.
And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows.
The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door.
The card said, ‘Be my Valentine,’ like all the years before.
Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say,
‘I love you even more [...]

The Man on the Horse- Do We Care How He Smells?
To be honest I like the latest, hottest commercial on television because it is funny, not because the man selling the product is good looking from head to toe and has a voice that could whisper in my ear anytime. The sensuality is a plus. But it is a good commercial, it’s a funny commercial and the [...]
