The Blanket That Held Us Together
The blanket was old—its colors faded, its edges frayed—but to Mariam, it was sacred. It had started as just scraps: bits of old shirts, unused dresses, and soft cotton from her wedding veil. She began stitching it when she was pregnant with her first child. Her fingers were untrained, her stitches uneven, but her heart was full. Every thread she sewed was a silent promise to the child growing inside her. A promise of warmth, protection, and love.

If You've Tried Everything To Save Your Marriage, Try This Instead
Because I often write about saving your marriage and avoiding a divorce, I’m sometimes approached by wives who tell me that they’ve tried “everything,” and yet nothing works to change the husband’s mind about a divorce. This article will outline some steps that may work. If you haven’t tried these tactics, I think that you definitely should before you throw in the towel. If you have tried them all and none have worked, then I’ll list a backup “last-ditch effort” plan at the end of this article.

My Husband Wants To Divorce Me, But Still Wants To Be Intimate
This question is actually more common than you may think. When couples are in crisis or are in talks about taking a break, splitting up, or divorcing, emotions can run high, and doubt can creep in. Affection, attraction, and love can still be smoldering under the surface even if a couple is experiencing hard times. This is all understandable, but sex amongst couples who are divorcing or splitting up can be very difficult and can be confusing for both parties.

Asking Your Reluctant Husband For A Second Chance At Your Marriage Without Making Things Worse
I’ve dialogued with a lot of people who want nothing more than another chance in their marriage. Sometimes, their spouse has already asked for space, a break, or even a divorce. Other times, things haven’t gone quite that far, but the marriage still feels fragile or tense, and they’re hoping for an about-face so that they can save their marriage. They often ask me the same question: How do I even begin to ask for a second chance without making things worse?

"Three Strong Hearts: A Mother's Journey with Her Sons".
Maya stood in the kitchen, her hands still wet from rinsing breakfast dishes, watching her two sons chase each other through the backyard. The golden sun filtered through the trees, painting everything in soft hues of yellow. To anyone else, it was an ordinary morning. But to Maya, every moment like this was a hard-won victory.

It's Time To Tell You
In the wake of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s recent commentaries on autism, I've felt something stir in me that has been dormant for a long time. I've been quiet long enough, I have kept my head down and plowed through personal trials for years, focused only on putting out the next fire and the next, without a lot of thought about anything else. Today with autism and education featuring so heavily in the news, I feel like it's time for me to look up, to open my mouth, pick up my pen, and speak.

The Day I Called My Father “Stranger” — And Meant It
I. The Forgotten Good Mornings When I was a kid, my father used to wake me with gentle knocks on my bedroom door and a soft, “Good morning, champ.” I hated mornings — still do — but something about those words made getting up easier. I would bury my head deeper into the pillow, grumble in protest, but I secretly looked forward to hearing him say it again the next day.
