Dear All, It has been far too long since last I wrote, and I was inspired today to share with you all two worthy projects. One is a Catholic women's magazine called Radiant, and another is a new blog started this month called He Makes Beautiful Things. You must read the first entry, "He is Faithful". I feel it is appropriate that I share with you these two amazing projects spreading the Good

Are any of you tired? Not just sleepy or fatigued, but deep-down-to-the-soul tired? How about lonely, or hurting? Or like you just can’t catch a break? Or do you ever feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Have you known failure or inadequacy? How about the feeling of trying your hardest, with the best of motives, and then having others mistrust your intentions? I’ve been there

With the recent Super Bowl advertisements finding humor in showing women emasculating men through dating and marriage, I am very quickly reminded of how far we have fallen in respecting human dignity thanks to feminism. As a woman, I was offended by these commercials, and I felt bad for men. At the Super Bowl party I attended, the men’s reactions were a mixture of those who found the ads funny,

So, I’ve been rejected now about four times—three times it hurt pretty bad, really bad in fact. The basic pattern goes like this…I become acquainted with a girl…becoming friends, or “almost” perhaps. Then, I begin my familiar cycle of trying to “woo” this girl. I’m half expecting things to go awry as soon as things start. They feel awkward and I wonder whose fault this is…mine or hers? Hmm.

Dear She- A very interesting passage you have shared.  I will quote it again for those just tuning in.  "As a society we associate nurturing behaviors with weakness and our culture rewards strength. A man who is caring towards children is considered less masculine and so less valuable, according to his peers, as a member of society. This is where the tired cliché of "woman's work" turns on its

Dear "He", I was reading this article and it reminded me of your original post on the impact of war on fatherhood. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that more or less the premise of your piece was about men lacking the ability to care and show love to their sons and daughters, and we were looking at the argument more from the perspective of fathers and sons. This article called "Why Men in

Good Morning "HE" and Bloggers, This morning in prayer I read Romans 12:5-16, and perhaps this passage can help us understand the importance of men and women working in a complimentary manner, and also not just men and women, but in friendships too, man to man, and woman to woman; the premise is that we are each individual parts but all connected. I specifically was drawn to the line: "love one

Dear Blogger, Where do I tell women to lower their standards? From experience and observation, at times we have our love for a man in the wrong order, meaning that we love the man more than loving Christ. Even good, God-fearing women can do this sometimes and not realize it until things drastically change. Also, remember that not all relationships are meant for marriage, no matter how in-love we

Dear "HE" Well, I have a few things to clarify for you. Again, I do believe that men and women are meant to work together in a complimentary way, and that when I wrote that I agreed with the male feminist, it was only in the concept of men regulating themselves, and by that I mean men should use their free will to make choices for themselves to either grow in virtue or not. In other words to

Dear Bloggers, I had the great privilege of attending mass this afternoon at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., and the even greater blessing to have the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States celebrate mass. I figured since I probably would only have that one opportunity to hear the Most Reverend Pietro Sambi preach, I should take notes during

Dear "She": You are inviting men to speak up... and I am a man; so I guess it would make sense that I should respond to this question: Why can't men regulate themselves? Your post confused me somewhat... first you say that you believe that men and women should act in a complimentary way and then you indicate that you agree with our male feminist that men should regulate themselves... so which is

Dear Bloggers, Forgive my delayed response, but I hope that my following comments give us more to talk about and provide answers to some questions, and of course raise more questions based upon your recent comments to our last post, WANTED: Virtuous Women for Great Men.

Dear "He", Life is busy in Atlanta these days, and finally the rain seems to have stopped and the sun is shining, more or less. Don't forget to send pictures of the beautiful Rockies and the snow I miss! Okay...like you say, the power of a woman's beauty, her true beauty, is to inspire a man to greatness; but doesn't the man need to recognize that what she offers is true, and that what she

She Said...Before looking at specific roles like fatherhood and addressing what has damaged it, I'm interested in knowing what men believe it means to be an authentic man, and how they want to see women supporting them in their roles. I invite the women to discuss what it means to be truly feminine, and how we envision men protecting our femininity. If we begin first by discussing masculinity and

He Said...For the purpose of discussion, here are a few thoughts on the history of fatherhood in our country. But first, what is the current state of fatherhood in America? According to Families and Living Arrangements: 2006, a report published by the US census bureau, there were 12.9 one-parent families in 2006 of which 10.4 million were single-mother families (over 80%). In 2006 the US census

Thanks for your comments and here are my answers to some of your questions. First, when we follow Christ it isn't that we model the single life of Christ, but we are modeling the virtues He teaches us. As for men and women who believe that they are better than others because they love Jesus or as you wrote "have Jesus", I would say that their attitude totally contradicts authentic charity (love),

She said...A lack of a relationship or a weak relationship with God causes us to be more receptive to situations and beliefs that are contrary to His ways. When our relationship is weak or we give it a low priority in our life, like Eve, we begin to trust the snake instead of God, eat the apple, and then we are on a path trying to hide from God. Think about any relationship we have, the stronger
