Do the 5 Love Languages stand up to scientific scrutiny? In January of this year, an article was published and was called Popular Psychology Through a Scientific Lens: Evaluating Love Languages From a Relationship Science Perspective in the Psychological Science...
What happens to women’s desire level if their husbands don’t do housework? This month, our series on the blog is going to focus on some new studies that have recently been published in peer reviewed journals. We like keeping up with research, and we shared four new...
What if men and women experience sex differently? This month, our series on the blog is going to focus on some new studies that have recently been published in peer reviewed journals. We like keeping up with research, and we shared four new studies on the podcast last...
Can I just be super excited--like super-jumping-up-and-down excited, today? I have something really fun to share with you all, and I've been trying to figure out how to share it, because it really can't be a post, in and of itself. But I couldn't wait anymore, and so...
Last week Instagram went crazy because model Chrissy Teigen posted a heartbreaking picture after her miscarriage. While there was an outpouring of support, there was also a ton of criticism. She has no right to be sad because of her political views. She shouldn't be...
When someone you love is grieving, how can you reach out and do something tangible to help? Today is the 24th anniversary of my son Christopher's death (you can read more about that here). I know many of you have walked through grief, too: miscarriages, stillbirths....
The summer's winding down, and some of us are starting to plan for the fall! I know some of my American friends have children already in school (which is so weird to this Canadian, where we never start until after Labour Day!), but I have a few fun things to share...

I get so many questions from women who are fighting breast cancer, or who have come through the other side, wondering what happens now? Have we lost intimacy? Will our marriage survive? I've watched many friends, my sister-in-law, and even my mother walk through...
What is happening in the United States right now, and around the world, is a wake up call and a time to lament. Yesterday I was on FaceTime with my oldest daughter Rebecca as she got her baby Alex out of his crib from a nap. He snuggled into her, and she was laughing...
The Bible tells us to rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Well, I'm doing both, so I guess you all better get busy! 🙂 This isn't going to be a long post today, but instead more of an update. It's Victoria Day here in Canada, where we get a...
Today is the holiest day of the year, when we remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. He left heaven to enter into our pain and suffering, and show us how to live with love, passion, and abandon. And then He showed us that the triumph of life is not achieving...
I really have nothing nice or uplifting to say about COVID and what we're going through right now. I posted this on Facebook yesterday, and it got such a big reaction that I thought it may be worth saying here, too! God tells us to rejoice with those who rejoice, and...
Sometimes life is just hard. And it's often birthdays and holidays that mark the passage of time, and remind us when life isn't going as planned. I write most of the posts on this blog, but I have a small team behind me. Rebecca (my daughter) writes a ton, moderates...
Do you need to be a Christian to have a good marriage? Last week I wrote a post on what makes a good marriage. When I was initially sketching out my points, I instinctively wanted to include something about letting Jesus lead your marriage, or having the power of the...
