We are huge fans of the five love languages. It has helped us and millions of others at home, in our relationships with our brothers and sisters, how we relate to our children and even at work.

Is love a feeling? God doesn’t ask us if we feel like loving. He tells us it’s our responsibility to love-a husband is to love his wife (Eph. 5:28). When we obey, the feeling will follow. But if it doesn’t, God’s agapé love gives even when it gets nothing [...]

It is quite common to idealize the lives of others and falsely believe our lives are less. We peer into other’s lives and believe they are better off than we are. This tendency has been summed up by the cliche, “The grass is greener [...]

The 22-year-old young man knew what he wanted, and he got her — a wife. It wasn’t easy. When David and his wife Amber told her father that they wanted to get married (at ages 22 and 21, respectively), he hit the ceiling. Thankfully, Amber’s father changed his [...]
