Being the spiritual leader in your home is one of the most important callings you’ll ever receive as a husband—but let’s be honest, it can also feel like one of the hardest. Maybe you didn’t grow up seeing it modeled well. Maybe you’ve tried before and felt unsure, inconsistent, or even like a failure. You’re [...]
Within a Christian family, few responsibilities carry as much eternal weight as a father’s role as the spiritual leader of his home. This calling isn’t about authority in the worldly sense—it’s about loving leadership, grounded in humility and guided by God’s Word. Scripture gives us a clear and inspiring picture of what it looks like [...]
Something remarkable—and troubling—is happening across much of the developed world. A growing number of young women are no longer looking forward to marriage or motherhood. They might still like the idea of love or partnership, but marriage no longer feels central to having a meaningful or successful life. In earlier generations, marriage and children were considered natural [...]
Despite their scriptural foundation and shared faith, many Christian marriages today are struggling. Some even end in separation or divorce. It can be discouraging to see two believers—people who love the Lord and mean well—watch their relationship become distant or broken. Yet even in the body of Christ, marriages can weaken when certain spiritual or [...]
Let’s take a closer look at something quietly shaping the way many people think about love and friendship today: the idea that relationships are disposable. If things get uncomfortable, confusing, or painful, the reflex is, “I’m out. I can find someone better.” That pattern shows up in dating, friendships, church life, even in how some [...]
Friendships are one of God’s kindest gifts to us. They give us joy, perspective, support, and a sense that we are not walking through life alone. Yet many believers quietly admit that as the years go by, it feels harder—not easier—to build and maintain close, satisfying friendships. Work schedules, family demands, health issues, and even [...]
Friendships are one of God’s sweetest gifts. They bring laughter, comfort, correction when we need it, and a deep sense of belonging. Yet as we move through the different seasons of adulthood, those treasured bonds don’t always take care of themselves. Careers, family responsibilities, ministry, and even physical limitations or distance can make it harder [...]
Parents often underestimate just how much their children notice. While adults may think they are shielding their sons and daughters from marital tension, most children already know something isn’t right. Their young hearts are remarkably perceptive. They pick up on the sigh in Dad’s voice, the stiffness in Mom’s smile, or the tension that fills [...]
Children possess a rare, almost spiritual sensitivity. Though they may not understand adult complexities, they feel truth. They notice the pause before a reply, the absence in a glance, the way laughter ends too soon, or affection feels performed. When a marriage becomes a hollow shell—held together by duty, habit, or social pressure—children often recognize [...]
Marriage is far more than a social contract or a romantic partnership. It is a holy covenant—a sacred promise made before God. When a husband and wife stand before Him and declare their vows, they are pledging not just to love and cherish each other, but to remain faithful for life. This covenant is divinely [...]
