Dan, With a Hammer
Posted by Danielle Bean in Marriage on Thursday, September 02, 2010
Here’s a peek at the view from my living room window a couple of days ago.
It’s Dan, with a hammer.
In preparation for the coming winter, we have been replacing some of our windows with more energy efficient ones. And by “‘we” I mean Dan.
Because I don’t do that kind of thing. He does.
When we were dating in high school, Dan once drew me a picture of a rabbit. I held on to that drawing for years... READ MORE

Are you a Nag?

Last night, Greg and I had a long conversation about our communication (or lack thereof) with the kid we dropped off at college last week. I was sharing with him that I will miss my conversations with Eric, since the communication we’re getting these days seems to come in quick bits, texts and when he needs something. Greg wisely counseled me to be patient, but most of all not to waste any precious... READ MORE
"Call Within a Call"
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Thursday, August 26, 2010
Today is the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s birth, and the day is being widely celebrated.
On the radio this afternoon, I caught a snippet of Al Kresta’s segment on the topic. His guest talked about how Mother Teresa had been living happily as a nun until she felt the call to serve the poorest of the poor. It was Teresa’s “call within a call,” she said.
Since then I’ve been thinking about that... READ MORE

Quoted

“Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to.”
—J.R.R. Tolkien, in a letter to his son, 1941

Paul and I are speaking at a marriage prep course tonight. I always look forward to this annual event; it is so energizing to be around couples who are in the throes of such excitement.
Years ago, when we were first approached to speak, the coordinating priest asked us to discuss “Can love conquer all?” The first time we prepared for our talk, I reflected on where I was as an engaged young woman—I... READ MORE

How to Love a Homosexual
Posted by Fr. John Bartunek, LC in Family on Tuesday, July 20, 2010
(Editor’s note: We received the following letter from a Faith & Family magazine reader in response to Melinda’s Selmys’s article about homosexuality in our Summer issue.)
Q: I would like to respond with much disappointment to the article, “How to Love a Homosexual” by Melinda Selmys, in the Summer 2010 issue. She says on p. 65, entitled, #5:
“In essentials, orthodoxy, in non-essentials, liberty. Don’t... READ MORE
Should We Tax Divorce?
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Marriage on Monday, July 12, 2010
They finally got the murderous Al Capone on a charge of tax evasion.
Members of Parliament ended the British slave trade with an obscure shipping regulation.
In law and politics, sometimes you have to take the indirect route.
Therefore I’m intrigued by this genius idea.
Why not tax divorce?
It’s an idea that respects a basic economic principle: “what you subsidize you get more of; what you tax... READ MORE
