What You Want vs. What You Need in a Marriage

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

This can be the toughest determination anyone has to make in a marriage. Trying to figure out what you want vs. what you need.
Most people go into marriage thinking that life will render them everything they could possibly want. That there will never be anything that they will ever need for again.
In some ways, that’s [...]

Thoughts on Octuplet Mother Nadya Suleman

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

Before I knew that I was going to be a father, I thought that Nadya Suleman was extremely selfish and irresponsible. Having so many kids with so little of yourself to spread always screamed for the intervention of child protective services, particularly when Suleman was reliant on public assistance and private donations just to make [...]

Five Ways to Make Your Pregnant Wife Happy

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Two months into our pregnancy adventure, I believe that I’ve found the key to happiness. At least in the first trimester.
Here’s the five ways to keep your pregnant wife happy.

Baby Love

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

I saw my child for the very first time yesterday afternoon, and even through the shades of gray of the sonogram, I knew that God had blessed me with the second love of my life.
The child was smaller than the width of my fingertip. But at eight weeks and one day, the doctor was able [...]

The One

Monday, March 16th, 2009

Tomorrow we go for our very first sonogram, and I can’t begin to describe the unique excitement that I feel for the moment where we can see what God has done for us. The baby has already changed our lives in so many positive ways. It seems like we are a lot more in tune [...]

MyHusbandNeedsaJob.com

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Now, if this isn’t a wife doing all she can for her husband, I don’t know what is. MyHusbandNeedsa Job.com was born out of a wife’s frustration with her qualified husband not finding a job in a tough economy.
This sounds like something my wife would do. So much so, that it’s not even funny.

Inside Man

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

I must admit, getting used to a heavier load of domestic chores is not as difficult as I thought it would be.
My wife and I used to joke with friends all the time, who would ask her why she would never let me cook dinner. “I’m saving that up for when we get pregnant,” would [...]

Conversations With The Man (or Woman)

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

I’ve been doing a lot of praying lately. Not that I never prayed before, but I notice that prayer is becoming almost an hourly ritual for me. Part of it can be attributed to my ever-blossoming relationship with God, but the other part, perhaps the part that He (or She) might not like me saying, [...]

Soda and Sunday Morning

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

So far, the most intriguing part about my wife’s pregnancy has been two statements that have been used in regular rotation in the last week.
I’m tired.
I’m hungry.
Neither of which can be satisfied, mind you, but they are intriguing because my ignorance about pregnancy gives me the feeling that if the first month is like this, [...]
