Anakin, of biblicalmanhood.blogspot.com, hits it right up the middle:
So many Christian women are more than eager to compare the husband’s
role to the role that Christ assumes with regard to the Church. They do so in
ways that go well beyond what passages like Ephesians 5:25–33 imply and
thus well beyond what is appropriate for any human being [...]

I am highly peeved that the media confidently bray about the “pregnant man” (a “man” who has a vagina and a uterus.) I am as highly peeved by that as I am by the fact that I meet people who think televised arbitrations (Like “Judge Judy”) are in fact televised courtroom proceedings. [...]
Peace faking vs. Peace making

I’ve been skimming not only So Close to Heaven from my friend K. but Married but not Engaged by Paul Coughlin on my way to my current scholarly read. Paul Coughlin as usual is priceless for his truth telling.
Here’s my thought for the day: If you consider or contemplate a relationship [...]
Not rocket science.

You can’t get to know someone without getting to know them. This seems to be something like a zen koan (a riddle or proverb designed to focus the mind, like “what is the sound of one hand clapping?”) but it bears repeating. A man has not made a commitment [...]

Men’s Rights Advocacy
July 23, 2007 by singlechristianman
I did some google searches to see if it was easy, or hard, to find out what kind of support the idea of “men’s rights” (e.g. in divorce, alimony, and custody cases) had among religious conservatives. The answer is: seemingly none, rather than very little. It’s easy to get [...]
Bridezilla sucks, and I’ve never even seen it…

Wasted some time following a link from SingleMind and Vox about “Bridezillas” — and the commentary is both hilarious and fearsome. First time around I made the mistake of not eloping; next time around I will go to the courthouse. Later — probably a few weeks later [...]
La Isla Bonita

In this music video Madonna Ciccione (another native Michigander, as it happens) tries to portray, in her words, the contrast between “Piety” and “Passion” in her two roles in the music video. One might guess (accurately) that she came from an upbringing that saw a contrast in those notions, instead of [...]
Good and bad ideas

This book is the kind that you may find me reading.
… I had this book on hand once at work for my lunchtime read, and a pastor’s spouse was there in my unit visiting a sick person. She visibly curled her lip when she saw the title. [...]
Married but not engaged..

Have finished Paul Coughlin’s Married but not Engaged, and it is as great and essential a read for single Christian women as his No More Christian Nice Guy. I was heartened to read of his explorations in tango dancing with his spouse, and his use of describing this tango dancing as a [...]
