  • The Present September 8, 2010
    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 [...] […]

  • “Growing apart” in your relationship: It’s not growing, it’s hiding. September 8, 2010
    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.

  • What to Do When the Teacher’s Lounge Doesn’t Exist September 8, 2010
    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 […] […]

  • A Man’s Perspective
    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 [...] […]
  • A Woman’s Perspective
    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 [...] […]
  • Why Do Men “Stonewall”?
    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: [...] […]

  • The Rest of the Story
    Have you ever let your anger get the best of you? Debra Barone (of the TV series “Everybody Loves Raymond”) is forever frustrated with her husband, Ray. And it’s no wonder. He’s forever doing dumb stuff. Even so, she’s not very supportive. She not only criticizes him (like his mother does), she also puts him [...] […]
  • Football and Steak and Shooting Stuff
    by Tyler I’m just going to start writing and see what happens. My name is Tyler, and I am the youngest of three boys. We are each incredibly different and would belong in very few of the boxes that have been made for men to hang out in. My oldest brother, Andy is a sensitive, [...] […]

    Sue’s Question: My boyfriend and I have been arguing a lot lately. He just doesn’t get it. Nothing gets resolved, and I am so frustrated with him! Now when I try to bring the issue up, he just ignores me. I can’t get him to talk at all! Why does he just sit there? Dr. [...] […]
  • Men Are Different
    by Christen I guess I knew they were always different! Or did I? This is probably what really peaked my interest in the psychology of men. I have numerous personal stories in my life experiences that have helped to foster this interest. As far back as I can remember I have always been fascinated by [...] […]
