No Man Is An Island or How to Keep Yourself from Stressing Out
This weekend, I’m taking everything I own and sticking it in someone’s truck and asking them to drive across town with it. That’s right, I’m moving. I hate moving. You hate moving. Let’s just get that out of the way, right now.
As a husband I find it difficult to maintain my [...]

Discovering Dad asked his readers what brings out the kid in you? I have always thought that a good husband should be able to let loose and play (I do have a degree in theatre…) a little bit. And, of course, a good husband will, in most cases, become a good father. [...]
Don’t Bash Your Wife
Come on guys. Don’t talk bad about your wife. It’s pretty much the opposite of being A Good Husband.
The other day I was telling my wife how irritated I get when I hear men engaging in wife bashing. You know what I’m talking about. Guy gets irritated at something that his wife [...]
