  • A Better Husband
    I have a problem.  I think I’m a pretty good husband.  Well, I guess it isn’t such a problem that I think that, but rather, the problem is how I came to that conclusion. See, the world is full of crummy husbands.  There are guys out there who ignore their wives and substitute her for work, sports, friends, and any other countless thing.  There...

  • When Balanced Is Not A Checkbox
    Being married in seminary can be difficult. Making sure you don’t kill your marriage on the alter of academics is a balancing act we will all walk.

  • When Ministry and Seminary Collide…

For seminary students who either work in a secular job or a ministry at a local church, this is even more of a true statement. This week, my church hosted a mission-intensive week we called “My...

  • When an “A” Might Be Sin
    I’m back!  I’m sure no one has noticed, but since the last Love & Marriage post 6 weeks ago I’ve been missing in combat.  Jeff and I have discovered that — surprise! — baby #2 is on the way.  Consequently sleeping, throwing up, and consuming an embarrassing quantity of cheesy bean burritos has taken precedent over blogging of...

  • A Word to Seminary Wives
    Guys, now’s the time when you go, make your wife a cup of tea, take the kids outside, and let her curl up on the couch with this blog. You’ll be glad you did.

At Multnomah there is a Student Wives...
