Tucker Carlson just gave the most brutally honest marriage advice I’ve ever heard:
Don’t say “Whatever you want, babe.”
When she asks orange or pink napkins? You confidently say “Pink.” She’ll correct you to orange — then you immediately declare “Orange is perfect” like it was your idea. Same with dinner. She doesn’t want you to hand over every decision. She wants you to lead… while she still feels heard.
Tucker’s line: “You’re repeating her choice back to her as a decision.”
Raw. Funny. And probably true.
A lot of modern relationship advice ignores how men and women actually communicate in real life. Getting this dynamic right can save years of unnecessary fights.
I laughed because I’ve seen this exact dance play out. Tucker has zero filter and it’s oddly refreshing.
Married or about-to-be-married people — how accurate is this in your experience?
“Pressure for homosexual relationships to be recognsied as a different form of family, which are also entitled to the right to adopt”, is “a violation of God’s law” and an “ideology of evil…seeking to use human rights against humanity and the family”.
—Pope Saint John Paul II
Before you go to bed tonight, reflect on this verse and send it to someone with a dream.
HABAKKUK 2:2 "And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it."
Dear God, I lift my vision and my loved ones up to You today. I trust that You have a purpose for us. Please give us the clarity to see it, the faith to write it down, and the patience to wait for Your perfect timing.
Guide our steps as we run the race You have set before us.
If God has been good to you, pass this encouragement to someone you love. Don't forget Amen!
The three monks and the devil—
The devil appeared to three monks and said to them: if I give you power to change something of the past, what would you change?
The first of them, with great apostolic fervor answered: “I would prevent you from causing Adam and Eve to fall into sin so that mankind would not turn away from God.”
The second, a man full of mercy, said to him, “I would keep you from turning away from God and condemning yourself forever.”
The third of them was the simplest and instead of answering the temptor, he got down on his knees, made the sign of the cross and prayed, “Lord, deliver me from the temptation of what might have been and was not.”
The devil, yelling and twitching in pain vanished. The other two, shocked, said, “Brother, why did you react like that?”
He answered them, “First: we must NEVER dialogue with evil.
Second: NO ONE in the world has the power to change the past.
Third: Satan’s INTEREST was not to test our virtue, but to get caught in the past, so that we neglect the present moment, the only time when God gives us His grace and we can cooperate with it to do His will."
Of all the devils, the one that catches men the most and keeps them from being happy is the one of "what could have been and it wasn't." The past is at the Mercy of God and the future lies at the hands of His Providence.
Only the present is in our hands.
