Cave Mode

Last updated on: February 27, 2019 at 9:26 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

In the interest of sharing a personal and ministry update, I wanted to let you know that the next few months are going to be an interesting season for Jeff and me. I’m going to go into what my staff jokingly refers to as “Cave Mode.” Here’s the thing: Jeff and I are finishing up two years of research for our next book – but we’re quite behind on the actual book deadline. This is in part due to the... Read more

4 Secrets That Will Kill Your Relationship (Or Your Business)

Last updated on: February 21, 2019 at 2:02 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

Unless you’re in counterterrorism, nothing good comes from keeping secrets from those you care about. And believe it or not, a recent and infamous business debacle has a big lesson on the four most dangerous ways we try to hide things—even in our marriages. For several years, I’ve followed the story of Theranos, the company helmed by media darling Elizabeth Holmes. This twenty-something genius was transforming the medical industry by creating (she claimed) a revolutionary technology that could test... Read more

Does Your Wife Worry How You’ll React When She Shares?

Last updated on: February 14, 2019 at 11:35 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

I know what it’s like to take a daughter to college, and it’s not easy. So when a man shared this story with me, I could understand why his wife was acting the way she was. And it wasn’t her that needed to change; it was him. After they dropped off their daughter for her freshman year of college, they intended to add a few days on to their drive home and do some sightseeing now that it was just... Read more

Toxic Masculinity or an Attack on Masculinity?

Last updated on: January 25, 2019 at 2:26 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

My Thoughts on “Toxic Masculinity”: A Series Part 1: “Toxic Masculinity” or an Attack on Masculinity? Last week I posted a brief piece in response to two hot-button items generating a firestorm of controversy: a Gillette ad with the #MeToo-era challenge “Is this the best a man can get?”, and the American Psychological Association’s (APA) new Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men. This is the more in-depth look I promised. In fact, there are so many important angles... Read more

Support Your Husband in His Battle Against Visual Temptation

Last updated on: January 24, 2019 at 9:32 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

It seems like we’re being bombarded on a daily basis with suggestive images everywhere we turn—TV commercials, magazine ads, mainstream websites, and online marketing. It’s hard to even watch a TV show without being confronted with images that border on pornography. One time, when a friend was watching TV with her husband and a Victoria’s Secret commercial came on, he said “I really shouldn’t be watching this”—and she blocked his view. Since then, whenever a commercial like that comes on... Read more

My Take On “Toxic Masculinity”: A Heads-Up

Last updated on: January 18, 2019 at 8:20 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

I’ve been contacted by a lot of readers and those in the media asking for my opinion on the American Psychological Association’s new guidelines for the Psychological Practice with Boys and Men—especially given the controversy surrounding its use of the phrase “toxic masculinity.” I’m sure many of you have seen the Gillette ad surrounding this hot topic (click here to view it).

Here’s the Best Way to Tell Your Man You Appreciate Him (Besides Sex!)

Last updated on: January 2, 2019 at 2:40 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

Every day, our men wake up and head out to “conquer” the world. Or, rather, the worlds of work, finances, home, school, kids’ activities, sports… We think we understand that, right? Turns out, we don’t. Not quite. Because in his mind, it isn’t about “juggling” everything. Instead, every one of those spheres have a very, very specific set of expectations of him. Expectations that he is desperately trying to meet. And at a deep level, he doubts that he is... Read more
