Progressive women don’t want progressive men. What progressive women say they want and what they actually want are two different things. Case in point. Did you see the recent TikTok video by a progressive woman who said she’s having a hard time finding a traditional man … with progressive values? (Yes, she said that.) She wants a man who will pay on the first date, open the door for her, and take care and provide for her. But, she doesn’t... Read more
Have you ever learned a hard lesson from your kids? This is one of those posts I’m not proud of, but it’s necessary. Sometimes we learn lessons about marriage from unlikely sources. These lessons are not quickly forgotten. It had been one of those weeks. My husband had returned home Friday night after being away on a business trip all week. Monday morning had come too quickly, and I was tired and not happy about it. I’d overslept, jumped out... Read more

Dear Somali Moms, Leave it to the American public school system to further corrupt amid the current academic struggles of Somali students. Wait until you find out what this system really has in store for your children. Keep your families as far away from the Left as you can. They will sexualize your children and dismantle your families. The Democratic Party of today is not what it used to be. At one time, I was loyal to the party. I... Read more

If I’m truthful, it reminded me of the times I’ve falsely accused my husband without evidence. No one likes to be falsely accused. As soon as the store manager resolved the incident and restored my reputation, I couldn’t help but think about the times I’ve strained my marriage by falsely accusing my husband. False accusations can... Read more
I’m not a fan of Will Smith, Chris Rock or the Oscars, but I’ve got to admit I was taken in by the discussion about “the slap.” I mean, who wasn’t? Smith was defending his wife. A radio commentator called it “the slap heard round the world.” It certainly dominated the news cycle. If you didn’t see it, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars. Smith smacked Rock in retaliation for a joke Rock made about his... Read more
If my husband had said “I’ll give it a shot” when the pastor asked him to keep his wedding vows, I would’ve drop kicked that bouquet and headed for the door. You probably would’ve, too.

Download “How to Be a Wife No Man... Read more
Have you ever wondered, “What are my kids learning from watching my marriage?” The answer to that question is a lot. A child’s perception of marriage will most likely be what you show them through your own marriage. I can show them a good example or a bad one. I don’t always do the best job. I was reminded of what they learn by watching my marriage one morning when my two middle kids started arguing. They rarely fight. It... Read more
