I will admit it, I love bridal shows. Not the reality type shows like “Bridezilla,” which I watched once and had to turn off after a few minutes in shame for the lady in front of the camera, but the ones that show more of the work behind the scenes of the “fuss and feathers.” [...]

My family and I have had the privilege of hanging out with some unbelievably awesome single guys lately. A big reason I say they are so awesome is that they actually care about winning the battle with lust. Most men gave up long ago. Titus talks about Cretans whose “god is their belly.” In our [...]

Hang on to your hats (and prepare to sit down with a cup of tea for a long read). This is the best piece I have ever read on marriage in our post-modern times. It is a tour de force and should be required reading for anyone concerned about the state of relationships between men [...]

From Candice Watters over at Boundless: My Mom used to encourage me with Matthew 6:33 when I’d call (at least once a week) to complain about still being single. She always took me back to that verse: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as [...]

Our last article, “Why Am I Not Married?!?” has brought in our most diverse range of feedback yet. We’ve received some of the most grateful, convicted, excited letters ever (with the strongest support and thanks coming from young men, interestingly, though we didn’t write it for them). We’ve also had a couple of angry or [...]

“A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half deserved.” ~Caroline [...]

From Mercatornet comes a useful short piece discussing a new study by Debbie S. Barrington, “The Increasing Protection of Marriage on Infant Low Birth Weight Across Two Generations of African American Women,” 31 Journal of Family Issues 1041 (2010). The study abstract states: An increasing protection of marriage on infant LBW across the two generations [...]

“…unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow [...]

On Babble.com, one author offered a surprisingly honest, heartfelt examination of the choices she made to delay motherhood. She points out the numerous personal and social consequences of delaying marriage and childbearing. Certainly, God’s timing is perfect in all things. However, it’s sobering to consider just how much we’ve sacrificed to conform to our modern [...]

‘They couldn’t believe it when I told them I have chosen to be a full-time mother,’ says the 27-year-old, who lives in South-West London with her husband Richard, 30, a teacher, and her children George, four, and Verity, two. ‘I could tell from their reaction that they couldn’t help assuming I must be bored stiff [...]

What is home culture, you ask? Home culture is the atmosphere that is purposefully and intentionally cultivated within the four walls of your home. It is the music when you walk in the door, it is the conversation at the dinner table, it is games played by the fireside, it is the singing when your [...]

Over the years I’ve gotten used to my ideas of traditional womanhood and godly femininity being called “too conservative,” but, even so, I’ve sometimes wondered if friends and family were right: I just needed to loosen up. After all, going to extremes can be dangerous, and being too conservative is no better than going to [...]

So, early yesterday morning, while most of the neighborhood was still abed, the boy next door headed out to work. He was sleepy and nervous about his new job and not used to the blind spot in his just acquired Blazer and… well… this was the result. The front quarter of the aforementioned Blazer looks [...]

A couple of days ago, I received a comment saying it’s impossible to live on one income alone in our day and age. This touched a nerve (in a positive way!), because most people would probably say it’s impossible to manage on our monthly budget, yet we have been doing it for a while now.

It’s funny how we have to go to the UK to read the truth about the abortion breast cancer link. You won’t find this information in the NY Times. Read the article over here.
