I wouldn't be surprised if many marriages end in divorce largely because one or both partners are running from their own revealed weaknesses as much as they are running from something they can't tolerate in their spouse.

A defeatist attitude kills almost as many marriages as do affairs.

The older I get the more I realize that a significant portion of a parent's happiness or sadness in middle-age will be directly impacted by how closely our children are walking with the Lord.

Fear is intensified by passionate love. The more I care about someone, the more I'm concerned about their welfare. The less we have to lose, in one sense, the easier it is to be "brave."

Having children made me confront my true fears and trust in God many times over in a much more intensified manner.

Christian love must be chased after, aspired to, and practiced.

Done well, marital sexuality can be a supremely healing experience.
