    At Home Date Night: Rediscovering Intimacy Without Leaving the House

    If you think a great date night requires fancy restaurants, expensive babysitters, and a perfectly coordinated plan, think again. The best moments in marriage often happen during the simplest ones. That’s why at home date night ideas are growing in popularity—not just because they’re budget-friendly, but because they prioritize what really matters: connection.

    Both Tired

    Ever catch yourself tallying up who’s done more around the house—more chores, more errands, more child wrangling? It’s a subtle, almost instinctual drift into competition: “Who’s more tired? Who’s doing more?” But marriage isn’t about keeping score; it’s about carrying each other’s burdens, even when you’re both running on empty. The post Both Tired appeared first on UNCOMMEN.

    Your Wife has Changed

    It’s a simple but piercing question: Have you stayed curious about your wife—who she is right now? Your wife has changed. Her fears, dreams, struggles, even her personality may look different than they did on your wedding day. That’s normal. You’ve both changed. Life has a way of shaping us through seasons of health scares, job losses, raising kids, or simply growing older. The post Your Wife has Changed appeared first on UNCOMMEN.

    Becoming Dad

    Embracing the Challenge of Becoming Dad In this special Father’s Day edition of the Man-to-Man Podcast, we dive into the realities, challenges, and blessings that come with Becoming Dad. Whether you’re preparing to become a father, adjusting to a new baby, or navigating the later seasons of parenting, this episode offers insight, humor, and heartfelt wisdom. Through honest conversation and personal experience, we discuss the shift in priorities, spiritual responsibility, and the everyday decisions that shape us as fathers. The Wake-Up Call of Becoming Dad When a child enters your life, everything changes. From sleep schedules to finances, fatherhood reshapes what matters most—and often, the biggest shift is internal. Reflection:Many men underestimate how much maturity is required until it’s suddenly demanded. Think back: are you preparing now for the man you’ll need to be later? Or are you hoping to flip a switch when the time comes? Lesson:Fatherhood isn’t something you grow into by accident. It takes intentionality. Seek wisdom from other dads, dig into resources on parenting, and grow spiritually before the pressure hits. As one guest put it, “Maturity helps when chaos erupts”—and it always will. Challenge:Reach out to a seasoned father and ask what surprised him […] The post Becoming Dad appeared first on UNCOMMEN.

    Dad You Need Rest Too

    You hustle. You provide. You protect. Day in and day out, you show up because that’s what good dads do. But Dad, You Need Rest Too. But here’s the hard truth—too many dads are running on empty. And somewhere along the way, we’ve bought the lie that slowing down is weakness. It’s not. Rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. Dad, You Need Rest Too. Without it, you risk leading your family from a place of depletion, not strength. And if you’re constantly running on fumes, you’re not just wearing yourself out. You’re leading your family from a place of depletion, not strength. Busy Isn’t Holy In our culture, busyness has become a badge of honor. “How’s life?” we ask. “Busy,” we answer—with pride, not concern. But scripture paints a different picture—one that starts with this truth: Dad, You Need Rest Too. “It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for He gives to His beloved sleep.” – Psalm 127:2 Even Jesus—Son of God, Savior of the world—took time to rest. He slipped away to pray. He napped in the boat during a storm. He modeled the rhythm […] The post Dad You Need Rest Too appeared first on UNCOMMEN.

    The Listening Husband

    Scripture:“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”– James 1:19 When She Talks, Are You Really Listening? You can be in the same room, hear every word your wife says, and still miss what she’s actually telling you. Many husbands don’t struggle with hearing—they struggle with listening. The Listening Husband knows the difference. The difference? One takes sound in. The other takes the heart in. Fixing isn’t always the answer. In fact, sometimes it’s the problem. When your wife opens up, she’s not handing you a project—she’s inviting you into her world. And if your first instinct is to solve rather than sit with her, you may be missing the moment entirely. Proverbs 18:13 puts it bluntly: “To answer before listening—that is folly and shame.” Listening is more than a skill—it’s an act of love. Presence Over Performance Too often, we think nodding while scrolling counts as engagement. It doesn’t. Real listening begins with presence—something The Listening Husband practices every day. That means eyes up, phone down, and attention undivided. Distraction says, “You’re optional.” Presence says, “You’re essential.” Jesus models this perfectly. When Mary and Martha were grieving, He didn’t rush in with […] The post The Listening Husband appeared first on UNCOMMEN.

    Thriving in the Good Days

    What do you do when life is good? Scripture:“When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God… Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God.”– Deuteronomy 8:10–11 Don’t Waste the Blessing After the cross came the resurrection. After sorrow came joy. Just as Easter reminds us that God meets us in the valley, it also assures us He walks with us on the mountaintop. But here’s the real challenge: how we live in the good days matters just as much as how we endure the hard ones. Thriving in the Good Days starts with recognizing that peace and comfort are not pauses in your faith journey—they’re part of your preparation. When life is comfortable—money’s steady, relationships are peaceful, and you’re healthy—it’s easy to get lulled into a spiritual nap. We stop praying with urgency. We stop seeking God with hunger. And before long, we stop acknowledging that He’s the one who brought us to this season in the first place. Thriving in the Good Days means remembering who led you here—and continuing to walk closely with Him, even when things are going well. Israel did this after entering the Promised Land. They forgot […] The post Thriving in the Good Days appeared first on UNCOMMEN.

    Enduring the Hard Days

    How to Stay Faithful When Life Hurts Scripture: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” – James 1:2-3 Why the Hard Days Matter “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33 Hard days hit without warning. Whether it’s a health scare, job loss, grief, or a season of waiting, no one is immune. The pain might be physical, emotional, or spiritual. It may be short-lived or stretch on longer than we ever expected. But no matter what form it takes, one truth remains: our response matters. Faith doesn’t exempt us from suffering. In fact, following Jesus often brings new challenges. But it also brings a deeper strength—a strength rooted in something far more stable than our circumstances: God’s presence. 1. Expect the Storms “In this world you will have trouble.” – John 16:33 Jesus didn’t sugarcoat the truth. Trouble will come. But the presence of pain doesn’t mean the absence of God. On the contrary, some […] The post Enduring the Hard Days appeared first on UNCOMMEN.
