Is She Wonder Woman or a Witch?

Is she Wonder Woman or a witch? Honestly, it's a trick question. I'll explain why in a moment. I know how social media works. Bitching and complaining work a lot better than truth and compliments. Most people clicking on this blog want me to list out all the ways to tell whether a woman is a good woman or whether she's horrible. Like I said, though. It's a trick question because the answer, men, is largely up to you.Man, you have the power...

Is He a Superman or a Joker?

Is he a Superman or a Joker? Does it matter? Most people begin to respond to what they are called repeatedly. If you want him to be your Superman, if you treat him that way, he'll become more of that - even if he isn't already."Men don't marry a woman because of how she looks - he marries her because of how he feels when he is around her..." ~Dr. Mike MurdockThis quote touched off quite a discussion between some friends of mine recently - both...

The Proverbs 31 Man

I am told that I don't write "to" the men enough. I'll own that feedback. Women tend to be more verbal and it's tempting to speak to the audience that is the more responsive.

I got up early this morning again. As I write this entry in our series called "31 Days to Healthier Relationships" I realize our time is drawing to a close and I've got a few final things to get out of my heart and onto a "page"...so to speak. I don't suppose it was a coincidence that one of my favorite Bible teachers, R.C. Sproul, was talking about "What is Christian Marriage?" on his broadcast this morning.Very timely! As Christmas falls into...

Day 24: "He Can Trust Her"

By Melissa RichHer husband can trust her; she will greatly enrich his life. Proverb 31:11 (NLT)Trust is earned and established over time but it can be lost in a mere instant. This is very basic but some things just need to be verbalized and acknowledged. Keep in mind that I am most often presenting a position of heart more than anything. When two people are actively pursuing the same goal and moving in the same direction, so many things have a...

8 Keys to Talking to Men

To jump right into the point, I got a question that I thought was very intriguing: How can I talk to a man without hurting his ego and so he will hear me?Awesome question! It deserves a response. First, a note to the men: It's hard. I know you'd rather be test driving a new car or sawing something, but learn to give her a few minutes without being prompted, asked or...
