My Wife is the Boss (If She Ain’t Happy, Then I Guess I Can’t Be Either)

I remember growing up and learning (as a Christian) that the man is supposed to be the “head” of the household.  I won’t go into interpretation and try to debate some point Biblical point here, but I am grateful that my own father showed me (what I think to be) a healthy view of thisContinue reading “My Wife is the Boss (If She Ain’t Happy, Then I Guess I Can’t Be Either)”

#Parenting: #Instincts Out of Thin Air?

Prior to becoming a parent, even before I was married, I took notice of my own parents reading books and articles on parenting.  They would discuss new things that they may have read and/or learned with each other to possibly implement into their parenting philosophy and strategy.  However, I would run into others who comicallyContinue reading “#Parenting: #Instincts Out of Thin Air?”

My Baby Boy (5 Months Later)

I have heard people say that having your own child changes you.  However, oddly enough, I do not feel much different than before my son was born or even before I knew he would be born.  Now, if they mean having a baby changes you physically, then, yes, I can see that.  Truth be told:Continue reading “My Baby Boy (5 Months Later)”

Sincerity is Key in Relationships

Life has been made all the more fulfilling by the loving relationships that I have.  When I write, I mostly discuss issues in relationship to my family, which is my wife and my son.  I cannot begin to express how tough it was for me to live as a bachelor.  Even over the 2 yearsContinue reading “Sincerity is Key in Relationships”

Waiting on My Future

There is a song by Dinah Washington that I like called: “What a Difference a Day Makes“.  The song itself has more to do with love than my post, but I use the title because of the words in the actual title.  What I mean is the title itself gives off a bit of truth:Continue reading “Waiting on My Future”
