From Focus on the Family If you appreciate all your husband does for the family , then make sure you tell him. Men may come across as tough as nails, but that doesn’t mean we don’t need to hear how much we mean to our wives and children . It’s nice to know that our families value the things we do. Tell your husband how much you appreciate the way he provides for the family. And be specific. Let him know that you notice the sacrifices he makes by putting his family first, instead of his own interests. Thank him for being such a good leader in the home and an example for your kids. Above all, support him in all he does. You may not always agree with the decisions he makes, but he needs to know that you trust his judgment.

From Focus on the Family Husbands aren’t known for sharing their feelings too often, but there are some things our wives need to hear from time to time. Saying “I love you,” is just one of them. Let her know that she is of great worth to you. Tell her that no one will ever take her place in your life … or your heart. Make sure she understands how committed you are to the relationship — that no matter how bad things get, you will always be willing to work it out. All couples argue, but commitment to the marriage will always overcome any disagreement. Say to her, “I will always be truthful with you,” and then hold yourself to that promise. Honesty is critical to a successful relationship. Don’t assume that your wife knows how you feel about her. Take time to tell her every chance you get.

By Dr Bill Maier There’s nothing wrong with waiting to have kids – as long as your biological clock keeps ticking. Today the average age of a first-time mum is 25 – about three years later than it was a generation ago. The main reason for this is that couples are getting married later in life – which is a good thing – but that’s not the only factor. Many women are choosing to put off motherhood in order to further their education or career. Others are waiting until they’re more financially secure. It’s important to understand the risks of women who have children after the age of 35. They are twice as likely to develop problems like high blood pressure , diabetes , or heart disease . Chances of miscarriage or stillbirth are also much greater. The longer women wait, the higher the risk. It’s good to plan your family wisely; just make sure you’re making informed decisions.

By Dr James Dobson There’s a very special gift that men and women in their 50s, 60s and 70s have to offer to the people they come in contact with. That gift is wisdom — gleaned from years of experience. Wisdom can encourage and build up, and offer hope in troubled times. In days gone by, extended families lived together in the same house — young and old. People were able to get fresh perspectives, just by hashing out the events of the day at the dinner table. But in today’s mobile society, most of us live away from our families, and this valuable interaction is lacking. If you’re getting on in years, I’d urge you to find someone younger in your life that you could befriend. That frustrated young mother down the street might love to have an older woman come by for coffee , to listen and to say: “That’s normal. I remember when I felt just that way.” The young man in the office down the hall needs to hear from someone older and wiser: “You’re doing a good job. Keep up the good ...

Image via Wikipedia From Dr James Dobson Many years ago , the late philosopher , Dr Francis Schaeffer said that the bridges that were built by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago are still standing because they were used only for foot traffic. If large trucks or even cars were driven across them, they would have collapsed. Dr Schaeffer said our culture is like those bridges. As fewer and fewer people know what they believe, there's an unseen weakness in the superstructure . When hard times come, it's in danger of collapsing under its own weight. It occurs to me that many marriages share the characteristics of those old bridges today. They appear to be stable and secure. But as soon as sickness or financial reverses come, the husband and wife turn on each other with a vengeance. Husbands and wives need to reinforce the foundations of their relationship during the good times by becoming best friends and developing a set of common interests. Only then, will they be ready for the ...
