In an effort to prepare our kids for the dog-eat-dog, competitive world before them, we fill their days with activity. Schedule them from dawn to dusk to maximize their potential. So they can learn. And grow. But I fear that in our quest to help them...

What a great video showing the real beauty of a committed marriage between one man and one woman. Wonderful. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201826756572900

I just want to say thanks to everyone that made the effort to be at tonight's session of EMBRACE. I hope it was "exciting". :) Your commitment to your marriage will not be without its rewards.

Tonight's EMBRACE session will be covering a vitally important topic for a healthy marriage. Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight at 7PM. Again, come a little early to get a hot drink and get comfortable!

Great video. Puts things into perspective.

This week’s question from Kelly K. is: “What’s the best way to handle it when my parenting style is completely different then their father’s style?
