2026/04/08

The thing you're missing? Leadership.The reason you're missing it? Nobody ever showed you what it looked like.We live in a strange generation. God's Truth is still True. Marriages still function ideally within that Truth. But, almost all of us are completely divorced from seeing it in action.So we become passive. Uncertain. We stop leading. Our marriages are..."okay". But they're certainly not God's best. They're usually not even that much different than secular,

2026/03/20

Most modern men think that the spectrum of respect they can expect from their wife goes from 1 (blatant disrespect) to 6 (neutral).We're here to tell you that neutrality is NOT respect. Respect LOOKS like something.
