I know a man who had a great divorce—one that blessed his life and the lives of others immeasurably. And, strangely enough, this divorce actually improved his marriage. At the time, I didn’t quite understand it. But now I think I want a divorce like his. Obviously, the divorce I’m talking about is much deeper (and perhaps…

Heaven Will Work Backwards
In September of 2010, I was camping with some friends in Arizona. We had just finished hiking through Bronco Canyon, an incredibly difficult but rewarding hike and set up camp near the beautiful Cherry Creek. The night was uncomfortably warm so we decided that we didn’t need to set up our shelters. …that turned out…
Understanding Depression
I’m very open about my struggle with depression, because I’ve learned that shining a light on the darkness is the best way to fight it. For when we see it in the light, we can understand it better. And when we’re able to understand it better, we’re able to identify ways we can fight it….
I’m Letting My Wife Go
I’m sure it may come as a shock to some people, but I let my wife go. It was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do, but it was the right thing for the both of us. No, we’re not getting a divorce and no, we’re not separating. Truth be told, the practice…

The glitch has prompted a lot of speculation, mockery, gossip, and even an internet hoax about a grizzly murder. Amid all of this chatter, no one seems to be asking this question: Was Russia trying…
Avioliitto ei kuulu sinulle
Minun oltuani naimisissa vain puolitoista vuotta, olen viime aikoina tullut siihen tulokseen, että avioliitto ei kuulu minulle. Ennen kuin ryhdyt tekemään oletuksia, jatka vain lukemista. Tapasin vaimoni lukiossa kun olimme 15-vuotiaita. Olimme ystäviä kymmenen vuotta, ennen kuin tulimme siihen päätökseen, ettemme enää halunneet olla vain ystäviä. Suosittelen vakavasti sitä, että parhaat ystävät rakastuvat toisiinsa. Kaikilla…
Le Mariage n’est Pas Pour Vous
Au bout d’un an et demi de mariage, j’en suis récemment venu à la conclusion que le mariage, ça n’est pas pour moi ! Mais avant que vous vous fassiez des idées, lisez plutôt. J’ai rencontré ma femme à 15 ans, lorsque j’étais au lycée. Nous étions amis depuis dix ans quand… nous avons décidé…
