Starting this month, Basic Level members are now able to submit questions and access one most a month in which I will answer those questions. I’ll call it the “Your Questions Answered” post. For this month, the question submitted was: “What should I do when I see my parents struggling in their marriage?”
Someone recently submitted the question: “What is your view on child training?” Here’s my response…
Two years ago today, my son popped into open air after sixteen hours of labor. What a thrilling moment! And relieving for my wife.
