Is the Grass Always Greener on the Other Side?

The grass is always greener on the other side, right? Not necessarily but many of us can relate to feeling this way. This can happen in any area of life and it can even happen when you have a home business. When others hear that I work from home, without even knowing what I do, they tell me I am lucky. I think the reason people feel this way is because it sounds so luxurious. They envision you get to sleep in, work when you feel like it, take off whenever you want and stay in your jammies all day. … Continue reading →

Would You Let Your Husband Win?

Would you let your husband win if you were playing against him in sport? Back in past times there was a theory that a girl or woman should always let her guy win. Even if she could play tennis or squash or whatever sport it was better than him, she was supposed to unobtrusively throw the game so he could feel good about himself. Apparently the idea was that the fragile male ego could not cope with being beaten by a female. I have to say I’ve never subscribed to that idea. Given the choice, I’d rather play with my … Continue reading →

Disagreements Aren’t Always Bad for Your Marriage

Disagreements aren’t always bad. In fact they can be good for your marriage. Better to have it out in the open that festering inside and the other person not knowing what is wrong. I’m sure we’ve all heard the, ‘What’s wrong?’ ‘Nothing,’ the other person replies, though obviously there is. Then eventually the other person admits what the problem is. The alternative is that they dwell on it so much that sooner or later everything little thing the other person does starts to aggravate until eventually the whole thing blows up and turns into a major argument that is not … Continue reading →

Arguments Cause Hurt Feelings

Arguments may be inevitable in family life, as are those power struggles and disagreements, but the truth is even if one person feels like they “win” an argument, someone always gets hurt feelings. Often, both sides have hurt feelings by the end of the argument and how can this make an argument worthwhile? I am not saying that we should not express our emotions or teach our children how to say when they are angry, frustrated, or aggravated, but I do think that we need to keep in mind that the outcome of an argument is generally hurt feelings. Whether … Continue reading →

How to Always Win The Argument

Posted on by

The best way to win the argument is to not participate in it. I’m serious. When you and your spouse argue and allow anger to flourish between you – chances are you’re going to bring up a lot of problems that you either still resent or that were not resolved previously. The minute you open that can of worms, you’ve both lost the argument, because you’re allowing ill feelings to invade your marriage. Now does this mean couples should never argue? Maybe – but you can disagree without arguing. You can air out your feelings without arguing. You can debate … Continue reading →

Are You Prepared For The Cost In Following Jesus?

Anything worthwhile in life never comes without cost. It may not be a cost in monetary terms or an investment in time put into a work situation or relationship. Are you prepared for the cost in following Jesus? Lets’ see what help we can find from Mark 3:20-35 about this. 1. Jesus was doing His Heavenly Father’s will, yet his family decided He ‘was out of his mind,’ verse 21. His family tried to dissuade him. They could not understand His motivation. When we are in the middle of God’s will, where He would have us, we may find there … Continue reading →

To Separate or Not to Separate: Twins in the Classroom

When twins get to be school aged, many parents face the dilemma of what to do with their twins. While some schools have rigid policies regarding separating twins (or not separating them) other schools have a more relaxed approach. What’s interesting to me is that despite a lack of solid evidence for either side, proponents of both sides are equally adamant in their positions. Separating Twins People who fall on this side almost always tend to be administration and teachers, although there are parents who feel their twins would be best served by being separated. Many teachers feel that keeping … Continue reading →
