This is a story I hear pretty frequently – so often that I can’t count how many times it has happened. Some wives are open to suggestions from their husbands, and others… well, not so much. A situation like this puts me in a very awkward position – smack dab in the middle of marital… Continue reading “My Husband Referred Me to Your Site – What a Jerk!”

In Christianity, authority is not… Continue reading Husbands Are Never “the Absolute Authority”
