Last week I shared a conversation where my wife told me that as a woman she wanted more compliments than I want because she feels like I critique her. Something interesting happened after our conversation... I realized she was right – shocking, I know. I still think her examples as described in … [Read more...]
Why Do Women Need Compliments? Pt2
Please Note: The following lesson is based on a amicable conversation (even though it might not appear that way). It’s a good reminder that when you’re in a good spot and the trust is high you can have a sensitive conversation like this and it remain civil as both sides try to understand the other … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 23: Why Do Women Need Compliments?
In a previous lesson we looked at potential reasons why married men don’t compliment their wives (written as a husband guilty for this). The question remains, however, why do married women need compliments? I don’t. Most married men I meet don’t. From my experience, married women care more about … [Read more...]
Being Married to a Nice-oholic
If you were to ask me, “What is the biggest challenge you have with your wife?” (you know a question, no one asks in a normal conversation), I would say it’s her being a nice-oholic (can you guess what inspired this series?)

Now, I’m not saying “every” husband, but every normal husband. If a man’s been married … [Read more...]

Because it’s so important, let’s go a step further by looking at Jesus from a historical standpoint. After all, we need to understand … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 18: One of the Nicest Things We can do for Loved Ones
Last month a friend of mine passed away, Rita Carrey. Yes, the last name should be familiar because she has a famous brother (and not the one who hosts The Price is Right). She’s the one who did the forward to my first Christmas book, The Happy Squire: Christmas stories to encourage & inspire, … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 17: A Way to Be Nicer
This lesson is going to give a simple yet effective tool for being nicer. But first I want to share a quick story where this week I got called out on how I can be a nice-oholic – who could’ve guessed I’m not perfect? (You don’t have to answer that). This past Sunday, my church had a guest speaker … [Read more...]
