If you need your adult children to eventually care for you, then that should factor into an equation NOW. I’ve been thinking about something for a while now that I’d like to just say. It’s going to be a bit of a rant, and I may not sound very...

Keith and I have been in the RV for a week and I have made a significant discovery! First, though, I’m not going to have a normal post up today. I’m in vacation mode and couldn’t think of anything about marriage to write about. Rebecca, however, has...

Unconditional respect isn’t a thing. And yet we’re often told that men need unconditional respect, just like women need unconditional love. It’s summertime, so I’m taking a month off of recording new podcasts, and instead I’m going to...

Lots of people believe a lot of dumb things about marriage! I’m in the middle of moving our site to our new Bare Marriage domain (we should be up and running by the end of the month!), and we’re only taking posts from 2018 and forward with us, leaving over...
