Last week I received this message:
Hey Rachel, I really enjoy your blog and give away copies of your book (I found it for $1 at Mardel!) regularly to friends who are going through similar metamorphoses together. So thanks for your thoughts; they've been incredibly helpful and refreshing. Having grown up in a very similar church experience, I can't tell you how many times I say "I KNOW!!" when I read your stuff.
Hey, I got married a year ago and all the marriage books we have a... read more

It’s been over a year since we did the last “Ask Dan and Rachel” video post. Now that my year of biblical womanhood is over, I thought you might have some questions for us—about the project, about our marriage, about our strange, self-employed life in East Tennessee.
So leave your questions below, and be sure to use the “like” feature to indicate which questions you most want answered. If your question is specifically for Dan, or specifically for me, pl... read more

So yesterday’s post was about all the troubled marriages making news this week, and because I like to include a graphic with each piece, I went to stock.xchng to get a free stock photo to use.

This hasn’t been a good week for marriage. From Jon and Kate Gosselin’s divorce, to South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s infidelity, to the embarrassing exploits of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berluscon, the headlines have been a painful reminder of how troubled modern marriages can be.
As I’ve mentioned before, I personally think it is counterproductive to spend time and money trying to mess with the constitution so that it restricts the rights of U.S. citizens und... read more
