Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to stay in the present and set your eyes upon Jesus? Much of our time is spent looking behind at our past – “I wish I would have done …”, “I should have said …”, “What was I thinking…?” – or ahead to the future – “I [...] […]

As marriages progress, though, something terrible happens sometimes. Because coping with our differences can be so hard, or because we deeply hurt each other emotionally along the way, or because of the stresses of life or career or parenting pull us in different directions, we adjust by withdrawing from our spouses and start setting up separate lives.

Yea! You have no principal to deal with. No one else’s bratty kids (pretty much just your own). You have a flexible schedule. You choose what you teach, how, and pretty much when. Your facilities are much nicer than the average teacher’s. You’re in no danger of ever being fired. You’re the administrator. But you’re […] […]

You don’t say much. You don’t know what to say. You wish she’d just let it go, but she never does for long. You told her you were sorry. What more does she want? Every time she brings up the subject, you go silent … or leave the room. You try your best to stay [...] […]
He’s so distant, and you don’t understand why. Most of the time, he doesn’t even respond to you, and trying to communicate with him is like talking to a brick wall. When you ask him what’s wrong, he mumbles “nothing” … or just ignores you. If you press him to talk to you, he gets [...] […]
As a couples therapist, I’ve had a lot of opportunity to observe how hard women work at their relationships. When something’s wrong, it’s the woman who notices it and wants to talk about it – to figure out what’s wrong and fix the problem. Here’s an example of a frequent complaint from our Relationship Survey: [...] […]
