In the not-so-distant past, men were expected to be strong enough to overcome any mental health issue or weakness alone, or at least cover it up, and not complain about it. There was (and sometimes still is) a stigma when it comes to men and emotional support. As a result, many men experienced mental health […]
Sometimes it feels like life is moving too fast, and I’m just trying to keep up. I’ve come to realize that to keep my sanity, alone time is essential for me, and probably for all humans. It’s not about pushing anyone away or escaping from the people we love. Alone time is about recharging, reflecting, […]
High-pressure situations are challenging, especially at work. It can cause the strongest of men to break down. Take the story of the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster in 1986. I’ve heard this story thousands of times, sometimes from motivational speakers, other times from friends and family. Seems the story has many lessons. So, I’ll share one […]
So, it’s date night, and you want to connect. Buuut Netflix binges and scrolling TikTok together don’t exactly scream “romantic bonding.” Have you ever considered date night game nights? It’s competitive, fun, and can be what you need to connect with your significant other. You want to laugh, flirt, and maybe even learn something new […]
Whether you’re head-over-heels in love, just dipping your toes into the dating pool, or healing from a breakup that still stings, one thing’s for sure—forgiveness in relationships is a skill you’ve gotta have in your back pocket. Forgiving someone (or even yourself) doesn’t mean you’re letting them off the hook or pretending everything’s fine. Nah, […]
Even the strongest couples face common problems in relationships—yes, even the ones who seem to have it all together on Instagram. But here’s the thing: knowing common problems in relationships, why they happen, and how to fix them can make all the difference. Maybe you’re reading this because you’re in the middle of a rough […]
Nobody ever wants to be in the eyeline of an emotionally unavailable man. Sadly, sometimes you find yourself there without even knowing it. I mean, it’s not like emotionally unavailable men walk around with a sign on their foreheads. And they don’t come out of the gates announcing it. They probably don’t even realize or […]
First things first, do men even emotionally connect with others? They must, right? There are many people with successful marriages and relationships, which means that the men in those relationships managed to emotionally connect with their partners. However, a lot of women struggle to have that connection with men. And it makes sense because men […]
Just when you thought nothing could possibly surprise you, you came across him—a man with no friends. Well, at first, you did not realize it. Then you started to notice the signs. His stories barely involve anyone else. And when they do, it’s mostly a sibling or a coworker. He has never mentioned a high […]
While it might be a stereotype, I believe there is some truth to the old adage that men aren’t as emotional as women. There are certainly outliers, but on the whole, I’d say it’s harder for us to get in touch with our emotions, and most of us don’t give it much effort. This disconnect […]
I have always found male friendships interesting. Male bonding is nothing like when women get together. When women meet, there’s a lot of sharing, advice-giving, empowerment, and overall satisfaction. When men meet, I see none of those things. They often sit quietly and drink or watch stuff with the occasional comment or joke passed around. […]
As societies become more secularized and individuals embrace diverse worldviews, many find themselves questioning or abandoning their faith altogether. As a Christ follower and an international digital nomad, I’ve found myself grappling with unique challenges and uncertainties. Growing up in the Bible Belt surrounded by like-minded friends, family, and communities provided a sense of security […]
