The purpose of this season is to develop a theory and strategy for cultivating healthy marriages and families in the world today.
...
Over the past few months of listener feedback and online interaction, it has become apparent that developing a broadly-acceptable theory will only be possible if we can first achieve foundational understanding across the diverse perspectives that shape how people think about and experience marriage and family life.
...
We cannot improve our marriages and family lives if we don’t first equip ourselves with the mental maps and points of reference that are necessary to navigate difficult conversations and avoid pitfalls so we can arrive at mutual understanding and authentic cooperation.

How should we approach Santa with our children? 

Does making a big deal about Santa set children up for a disillusionment, resentment, and skepticism that will send them down the road to agnosticism or atheism?  

In this installment of “Have You Reddit?” I share highlights from my online discussions with Kristen to get her reactions and stimulate collaboration and decision-making for our marriage and family.

Yes - the Mrs. made us stream this from the stairs leading down to our basement to ensure our children didn't overhear this conversation.  Not our normal setup.
