This article written by Contributing Writer Chris Lewis. Have you ever noticed how easy it is for many women to make friends of other women?

This article written by Contributing Writer Tom Bowns. Just last week I learned a little more about being a good husband. I had just completed a DIY recessed lighting project for our family room and had scheduled a visit from the county inspector to sign it off.

While I calmly arranged my project permit papers on the clipboard and did a few last checks of the wiring, my wife... Read Full Story

This article written by Contributing Writer Matt Pfingsten. I’m almost thirty-seven.  I’m a man, and I’m a husband and father. I find myself thinking very frequently what these things mean, not only in my own life but also in life in general.  It makes me think about things like pressure, responsibility and duty.
