For Men Only

Jeff Feldhahn has gone where no man has dared go before—with his wife as she promoted her wildly successful book For Women Only: What You Need to Know about the Inner Lives of Men.  While on this trip, Jeff realized that there were also many things that men did not know about the women in [...]

Unwed Pregnancies are a Product of Western Culture

In a recent article on sex education at The Week, the question was posed, “Should sex educators teach kids about pleasure?”  The responses were mixed, and the comments were along the same line—they’re going to do it anyway. This has been the common refrain with discussions of birth control, abortion and unwed moms, but rather [...]

National Single and Unmarried Americans Week

Did you know that it is the National Single and Unmarried American’s Week?  Neither did I until I learned it from the New York Times!  They believe that it’s a shame that we push people into marriage.  Personal experience tells me that people in general don’t seem to have that problem. The value of marriage [...]

The Worse Part

Lila’s best friend is getting married—and she’s the maid of honor.  She’s single, and has longed to find the perfect man, and has a revelation during the wedding ceremony that most couples want to forget as well—that marriage is for better or worse.

Save It For When You’re Married

In the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the two young children that live with their widower father are all excited because they feel that if their father kisses the lovely leading lady then “they’ll have to get married.”  Today, the leading lady and man move in together while he’s recovering from a divorce. Our society [...]

Courting: The Only Way To Find a Mate

On November 19, Katy Case entered into a courtship relationship with a young man, with the intent that she would marry him.  I’m very excited for her, in that she has left one stage of life and is preparing to walk into another. I believe that part of the way to fix the current erosion [...]

Polygamy and Divorce

It’s not a new concept.  It’s stated in the book of Genesis that it didn’t take long from the point of creation for the first man to decide that he wanted to take to himself two wives.  Shortly after that we have a situation where the patriarchs of the Israelite people had multiple wives and [...]

Mark Sanford—The Real Story

When the story first broke yesterday about Gov. Sanford of South Carolina being “out of pocket”1 I figured that this was possibly a case of someone that was trying to get away from the pressures of work and wanted to keep his location to himself as much as possible. However, when we heard today that [...]

Christian Marriages

The last of this Atheist’s most convincing arguments is probably his weakest.  He claims that because: Each “Christian Couple” that gets married has witnesses and people praying for the success of their marriage. The minister says “What God has put together let no man put asunder” Christian couples still get divorced. That this means that [...]

Where Are All The Men?

A great discussion has erupted over on Is This Modest.  It started out talking about romancing one’s husband, but mutated into a discussion about men and the church.  The question that is running around the comments section is “Has the church become so feminized that men don’t care to attend?

Catch Me If You Can

Many laws that were passed some time ago are now under scrutiny as relics of a bygone era—a time when people agreed on moral principles that are now up for grabs.  Laws that enforced clean language, the sale of liquor and protected a spouse from adultery have all been challenged, and when a story of [...]

The Case For Heterosexual Marriage

Since Proposition 8 passed in California, once again marriage is to be defined there as between a man and a woman.  This has lead to outrage to those that deem this unfair and discriminatory, and has caused more anger to boil. Why should marriage be limited to one man and one woman?

Why Support Traditional Marriage?

On Friday, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled 4 to 3 in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage in their state, overruling a state ban on the activity. While I could wax eloquent on how amazing it is to find this right in a document that has been translated only one way since the time it was [...]

From the Strange Marriages File

We’ve previously covered the woman that auctioned herself along with her Ferrari and the girl that flew to the Middle East to marry a man she met on MySpace. This newest entry of strange marriage arrangements comes from Florida, where a woman is selling her house—and herself—on eBay and Craigslist:

Learn to Keep Short Accounts

Lastly, we need to make sure that there’s nothing between us and our wives.  We need to make sure that the air is clear—and that the Sun does not set on our wrath. 5. Learn to keep short accounts. What is meant by this is that we should make sure that we have done nothing [...]
