4 Truths You Need to Know About Your Son and Visual Temptation

Last updated on: May 11, 2018 at 10:58 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

Even after years of being a social researcher and learning what is in the hearts and minds of men and boys, I just wasn’t ready when my pre-teen son began struggling with the same visual temptations as adult males. But why would he not? He is genetically programmed to be male. But just because he struggles with these temptations doesn’t mean he has to be at the mercy of those temptations. There are ways we as parents can help and... Read more

A Protective Dad In the Wild

Last updated on: May 10, 2018 at 6:38 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

I know this might seem like it should be a Mother’s Day article… but I’m going to give a shout out to all the wonderful Fathers out there. Dads, you so often are not recognized as the strong, caring, protective, loving presences that you are. I’ve interviewed so many thousands of you over the years and heard the heart behind the protectiveness. The deep desire to provide for your family. The tears that surprise you when you think of how your little... Read more

Men: Here’s the Phrase that Will Make Your Wife Amazingly Happy

Last updated on: April 28, 2018 at 7:42 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

At a recent marriage conference, a man sidled up to me and began talking while keeping an eye on his wife nearby, clearly trying to ask a question before she noticed. “So,” he said in a low voice, “I say ‘I love you’ a lot. But it seems to sort of bounce off. It’s like she discounts whether that’s really true because it’s such a common phrase. Is there something I can say to her that won’t just be background noise, so... Read more

Grumpy Husband at the End of the Day? Here’s How to Change That

Last updated on: April 26, 2018 at 5:55 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

When your husband walks through the door at the end of the day, is he more like Prince Charming from Cinderella or Grumpy from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? If your answer is “definitely Grumpy!” you’re not alone. Most married couples spend busy days apart, no matter what their jobs are and whether they work inside or outside the home. And for you—like many wives— the reunion at the end of the day can be rough. You try talking... Read more

That Moment When You Realize You Match Your New Book Cover

Last updated on: April 23, 2018 at 11:06 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

I am excited to announce that my new devo Find Rest is BACK IN STOCK! We were so thrilled to discover such a HUGE demand for this devotional during the pre-sales period, before it was officially released. And then less thrilled to discover that the huge demand meant we were going to “sell out” of the available copies before it even went on sale… and that the rest of the copies were trapped on a slow boat from China. (Literally!) So please accept... Read more

What he’s thinking when you frown

Last updated on: April 19, 2018 at 11:04 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

After speaking at some awesome women’s events recently (shout out to the ASPIRE women’s conference tour!), I was going through security at a Florida airport when I saw a real-life example of a truth about men. There were two grade-school children, a pretty wife with a frown, and a discouraged husband in the security line after a family spring-break vacation. I could tell that for the husband… it hadn’t been much of a vacation. And I would also bet that... Read more

An Update on my Dad’s Health

Last updated on: April 17, 2018 at 7:53 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

Dear Friends— Many of you have been asking for an update on my dad and I wanted to write a quick word on what’s been going on with him. Thank you all for your sincere prayers and kind words after my father had his stroke. The last few weeks have been intense and often emotional—many nights spent by my father’s (and mother’s) side in hospital rooms and ER’s dealing with not only the stroke, but a brain bleed and a...

When You Think Your Husband Is Overreacting . . . Again

Last updated on: April 13, 2018 at 6:53 am By Shaunti Feldhahn

“If I had heard this a few years ago, I wouldn’t be divorced today.” I can’t tell you how often I have heard that phrase. At my speaking engagements I frequently have people tell me how much they wish they hadn’t had to learn some key relationship lessons the hard way—through the pain and loss of a break-up or by struggling in an unhappy marriage. My passion (in case you haven’t noticed!) is to share my research findings and insights... Read more

Are You Measuring His Love By The Size Of Your Diamond?

Last updated on: April 9, 2018 at 3:42 pm By Shaunti Feldhahn

The day her boyfriend proposed was one of the happiest days of Sarah’s life. Jason went all out: the perfect location, meaningful words, and down on one knee with a lovely ring. At the time, she wouldn’t have changed a thing. But now, a few months before the wedding, Sarah’s ring has become a source of stress. She realized that she’d rather have something bigger, with a bit more style. She talked with Jason about it, and he said they... Read more
