Dear Son, Life is a balancing act. However much some ideologues might promise it to us, we cannot have everything we want. When we choose one path, another path is lost to us.

All other Relationships Thrive on Your Friendships
Dear Son, In life we are often required to prioritize our relationships. When friends and family both ask for your time, nobody will blame you for putting family first. And if it were a call between spending time with you and spending time with my friends, then I would obviously much prefer spending time with […]
Husband Goggles
Dear Son, Every good husband or serious boyfriend takes pride in the wisdom, character, beauty, and achievements of his lover: he wants her (or him) to be Happy, after all.

The Future of Romance

Dear Son, In my last letter I talked about what Girls find attractive in Men, which for a guy who works with married couples as much as I did was not much of a challenge. But if nothing else, I want these letters to embrace the love I feel as a father to his son. […]
What Girls Want
Dear Son, When I was a teen, I was constantly trying to figure out what it was girls want. Growing up in the 1980s and 90s, there was more bad advice than good on that front. Often, I could see through the bad advice, but I wanted it to be true, because it meant I […]
Marriage is a Sexual Relationship
Dear Son, I tend to go along themes on this blog, so it looks like this week is going to be about love, marriage, and romance. One of the biggest mistakes I have seen by the Men that I work with, and one I have made from time to time in my own life, is […]
If You are Going to Marry, Marry Young
Dear Son, I’ve spent much of the last six years of my life working with married men and couples who are looking to build a better life together. It has been an opportunity to see the best and the worst in relationships. I want to make absolutely sure that this blog gives you good relationship […]
