Surviving the storm
When tragedy strikes you realise how fragile life is, regardless of your age, social standing, or wealth. During these traumatic times our differences can seem so minuscule in comparison to the bigger picture of life. In walking through your challeng
Ready to marry... but is your chosen one ‘wife material’?
With all the chaos in many marriages today, you must wonder if men are giving any thought at all to the essential characteristics of a good wife.
Mothering the next generation
Among the many roles a good mother plays are those of a nurturer, someone who encourages, a disciplinarian and a multi-tasker.
Help! My marriage is childless
The old saying, “Marriage is easy to get into but difficult to get out of” doesn’t seem to have any effect on the speed in which couples enter and exit marriages today. The reasons why people pursue marriage have also changed over the years. Marriage vows have been edited for comfort, deleted when convenient, and often professed with glee then totally ignored when problems come as though tossing them in the tall weeds of life would bury their significance.
War on the homefront: Overcoming strife in your marriage
Anyone can do good for people who are nice to them, but what about a misguided spouse who is emotionally or physically abusive? You know, the kind you want to have a Dathan and Abirum experience.

As long as two or more people come together in life there will be differences of opinions. Those differences more often than not lead to arguments. But they don’t have to. We act the way we do because of the information we’ve received. Our actions generally shift when there is a change of information.
Treat me like a lady
The Collins Dictionary says that when you say a woman is a lady, you mean that she behaves in a polite, dignified and graceful way. You see, being a lady is much more than having a series of female body parts. Like beauty, it goes deeper than the sur
Is your marriage as stale as old bread?
