Freaky Friday: Fall in Love With Your Spouse After — Not Before — You’re Married

February 20, 2015 by JP 4 Comments

The lights dim. The honeymoon romance is hot. Jimmy is a Christian stud, one in a million guy. Jenny is gorgeous, every hair perfectly in place, a smile always on her face, the kind of girl every guy wants. Everyone sighs. Why can’t we all have love like this? This is how it was meant […]

How Becoming a Disciple of Jesus, NOT a Pretender, Helps You Win at Life and Girls

February 7, 2015 by JP 3 Comments

(This is the final part of a 3 part series titled How to Get a Girl Who’s Better Than You. Part 1 is here, part 2 is here.) In a world in which I lived with a stick up my butt, I’d tell you how much I hate this title. The implication that you should get serious with […]

How to Get a Girl Who’s Better Than You

January 27, 2015 by JP 3 Comments

Okay, this one’s for the guys. I know what you’re all thinking boys. Beneath that Christian veneer, there’s a man who, if he’s single, has one thing on his mind other than loving God and finding the quickest path onto the water after work. It’s how to get a girl. Maybe you’re at the wife […]

Pastors, Please Tell the Church About Divorce

December 15, 2014 by JP 9 Comments

Dear Pastors and Church Leaders, I’d like to tell you a conversation my wife had recently with a pastor. The pastor asked my wife when they bumped into each other in passing, “How are your parents doing?” “Well, you know, they’re going through a divorce.” “Oh, yeah, yeah I know,” the reply shot back. “But is everything […]

How Bullying Can Save Your Marriage

November 1, 2014 by JP Leave a Comment

Nobody likes a bully. Not in a casual fling. Not in a friendship. Not in a budding romantic relationship. Not in an illicit I-don’t-know-what-that-was-but-I-hope-it-never-happens-again-ship. And certainly not in a marriage. Unfortunately, bullying tactics are just so darn effective. Psychologically, they work at manipulating another person to push him or her down and get one’s own way. Of course, they’re also destructive and damaging […]

(SECRET TO MOMS) What Men Don’t Want You To Know That We Know

May 10, 2014 by JP 2 Comments

Ever wonder what stay at home moms sit around and do all day? You might, if you think about it during your lunch break. You might consider, as you converse around the work coffee machine, what it would be like to tan by the pool and relax in your new bathing suit and shades. Or dream about burning through books on the […]

April 21, 2014 by JP 4 Comments

I’m going to start off this post by doing something unusual. I’m going to ask, if you’re a female reader, that you stop reading this one. Of course, I can’t stop you, and I greatly appreciate your readership of this blog. But for your husband’s sake in winning with your love alone (trust me, this will mean […]

How to Turn Your Spouse From a Fire-Breathing, Evil Monster Into a Regular Person

April 16, 2014 by JP 1 Comment

I’m sure we’ve all seen the cliche. A couple screaming at each other — red-faced and angry, insults hurled in every direction, and one turns into a fire-breathing, evil monster and consumes the other. Or wait. A peaceful meal around the table, chatting over half sandwiches and pleasantries, a thinly-veiled accusation is suggested along with grey […]
