The real mystery here isn't "Why so many babies?" The real mystery is "Why so few marriages?" And we have an answer.

The fascination with The Bachelor's virginity speaks to our cultural tendency to both ridicule and idolize virginity at the same time. Our view of said virginity also relates to a person's age and appearance. The 40 Year Old Virgin is cast as a nerd with a dead-end job at an electronics store who still plays with toys, and The Bachelor's born-again virgin is a 29-year-old hunk… who happens to have prior sexual experience, making him already a "real man."

Every man carries "The Mantle" of leadership for his family. When it comes to your family, you are "The Mantle" of leadership. It's your job – your duty – to surround and cover your wife and your children with love, affection, caring and spiritual leadership. God teaches us these Biblical truths in Timothy, Proverbs and Matthew. Let's look at what the Bible says about how we – God's men – should live our lives today with "The Mantle" of leadership.

Unfortunately, our obsession with authentic celebrities, this skewering of public figures who seem fake, illustrates our cruelty. It's reflective of how we women (yes, even Christian women) respond to one another. We prize a particular kind of authenticity in this culture and in Christian circles.

People underestimate the power that a life shared in love with another person has in spurring both on toward healthiness, holiness, and contentment. So while I am called to find contentment in Christ at all times, I struggle to see how that is possible when the thought of having to do EVERYTHING by myself overwhelms me.

In Well Done, Good and Faithful Mommy, author and blogger Megan Breedlove sets out to address the topic of mommy appreciation.

There are few things more painful than being unequally yoked. Perhaps this will encourage you to press on and endure with joy. Yes, joy.

Take away the school, the cliques are still there. Turns out, you can even add a few decades, and the cliques still remain. Any time adults are herded into "giant boxes of strangers," the same kind of tribalizing behavior we first experience during our teens usually follows, according to U.C. Davis researcher Robert Faris, cited in the New York Magazine article. We will be dealing with high school dynamics until we draw our final breath.

I came away from a debate on gay marriage between Douglas Wilson and Andrew Sullivan deeply impressed with the difficulties that Christians have, and will continue to have, defending a biblical view of marriage to the American public. It will take nothing short of a cultural revolution for biblical arguments to be heard, much less to become persuasive.
