Sure, I don't have teens, but I will have teens and I remember being a teen and those two things alone made his vignettes both hilarious and a preparatory tool. Phil Callaway rocketed back and forth talking about aging parents and aging children. I decided to review this book because I thought it might be something my mom would need to read, but my take-away from it was extraordinary. Jamie here: Don't let the description fool ya, this book is for everyone. Because there’s nothing like a smile to make wrinkles less noticeable. And things that never ached before are beginning to give you trouble! For every baby boomer who wonders if it’s possible to navigate the Middle Ages with grace and style, Phil Callaway offers plenty of hope and a little hilarity, too. Money is tight and so are your favorite jeans. Children are driving, and parents are not. You’re in the “Middle Ages”–sandwiched between the “greatest generation” and the “gimme” generations, busily juggling both with no relief in sight. Aside from Generation specific stuff, you can find a contest (possibly win a dinner for you and your spouse by telling how you met). And you might also like to pop over to her Gen X blog. So, if you are a Gen Xer and looking to improve your marriage, I encourage you to pick up Tricia's book. Because I'm really grateful that we have a roof (thanks in no part to me). So, I'm taking the message and going to TRY to quit talking about the carpet until he brings it up. See, when I point out the ugly carpet, I'm not saying, "Hey, you, make more money so we can have new carpet!" I think I'm commiserating (because I know he hates the carpet too), but that is what he hears. That, and gratitude and respect for what he does for me (see above second job mention) that at least my mind went to in Money Matters. While the whole book was excellent, I especially liked the chapters addressing respect and honor (Committed for Life) and putting your spouse at a primary position (Finding Balance) (which I think also applies back to respect and honor). I highly recommend reading a good marriage book while being challenged in your marital life. It was especially helpful in this week in which my husband was gone (physically and mentally) while he took on wrapping up the equivalent of a second (short term) full-time job. Why do we relate to our spouses the way we do? What does growing up in the era of divorce do to our outlook and actions? Generation NeXt Marriage addresses our specific mindsets and background and applies it to our marriages. And many of us are starting with our marriages. Oh, and speaking of busy moms.go wish Liz congrats!!!! I've been obsessively stalking her blog all weekend and finally, FINALLY, that baby boy is out (days early!).įor those of us in the Generation-from-which-no-one-expected-anything (and thus the X, right?), we have an awful lot to live up to, don't we? Let me re-phrase we are on a mission to prove them wrong.
Sequel to where the heart leads by kin vogel sawyer full#
It's also full of tips and scripture references to apply to many aspects of this crazy life we signed up for. It must mean that real life is going on in our house." Someday the kids will be grown, and the house can them be spotless. I really need to remember that my main priorities are loving the Lord and being a wife and mom. Quite an overwhelming charge, isn't it?"Īnd this one: "As long as there are little ones enjoying life in our home, I'll never win a Susie Homemaker Award.
"Never think of yourself as 'just a wife and mom.' You're a molder of leaders, a gatekeeper of peace, a channel through which God's Word can be passed on to the next generation. 93% of you just heaved a big sigh, didn't you? Though the term "busy mom" is rather redundant, isn't it? But the covers of this book are full of nuggets of excellence.
