What Happened To My Wife?
Men, I've seen it in your faces. An element of confusion mixed with moments of suffocating helplessness. You don't want to expose your girl, but you also aren't sure how to ask if this is just what her new normal is. I know it could be awkward for me to open up this conversation with you in person, but I hope my perspective can be of some assistance to you here in the safety of the web press.
Why Men Are So Emotional
What happens if a sensitive soul lives in a world that belittles the expression of emotion?
What if a boy doesn't find a safe place to come back to? What if his tears are constantly belittled? What if his defenses get stuck? What if he stops feeling?
Look around. Look within. You are most likely experiencing it. Who told men they weren’t allowed to feel?
When Your Heart Stops Feeling
Even as our hands grow callous from repeated pressure and friction, our hearts can also grow hard. The trouble is that a hardened heart stops feeling, and without our feelings we cannot grow into true maturity. We can continue to modify our behaviours, but we won't walk in wholeness and we won't be able to sustain the destiny we dream of. This hard-heartedness is becoming an epidemic in the world around us and most succumb to it for the sake of survival through this life.
The "M" Word - Real talk about masturbation

How to Talk with Your Kids about Sex
This is not about one big talk. This is about countless small talks that culminate to prepare our children with understanding. You may have wished someone did this for you when you were young, but we can’t go back in time. All we can do is shape tomorrow.
Bedrooms of the Nations
What happens in the bedrooms of the nation has a profound affect on the souls of everyone alive. We are deceiving ourselves if we think otherwise. Are we willing to look in the eyes of young people who lived in the blow-out of what unrestrained sexual expression did to them? To their parents, friends and families?
Be loved
Your value extends beyond your physical appearance. It goes beyond your ability to turn someone’s head or keep the crowd’s attention with your beauty. You are allowed to desire to be known at a deeper level than just skin on skin. You are allowed to want to be feel safe in friendships and in a relationship.
To Make Pain Count
When one person breaks through and finds healing, it releases a contagion of hope.
God knows how to transform even the cruelest of scenarios into a place of redemption and restored life. Not just for you, but for multitudes more. And suddenly, all that pain counts for something.
Being a Mother. Being A Lover.
The question is, how can a woman navigate the significantly different roles of mother and lover?
How can she recognize BOTH as good and healthy, but not let those roles interchange? Because our husbands certainly do not need us to mother them, and our children desperately need to grow up seeing the personhood of woman, distinct from her sexuality.
Why You Can't Just Get Over It (and why intimacy demands fidelity)
You took the risk of trusting and disclosing the core of who you are. You were naked and exposed before them. To be rejected or discarded at that point will certainly hurt. And your brain tells you that you never want to feel that way again.
When Sex Doesn't Feel Sexy
When we were newlyweds, I often used to wonder, “How much sex should a married couple be having?”
“What is average? What is normal?” The answer I’ve come to recognize is simply, “More.”
But in saying that, if you are like many others, you may feel like sex just doesn’t feel sexy anymore. Here are a 5 common misconceptions and struggles that may be interfering with your SEX LIFE.
