Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Brian Goins' book, Playing Hurt: A Guy's Strategy for a Winning Marriage, (Kregel Publications, 2012).

Just like it's hard for sports players to stay in the game after they've gotten hurt, it's challenging to keep working on your marriage after your wife hurts you. You may feel like giving up hope of a better marriage when your wife injures you. But if you "play hurt" like sports heroes do, you'll see God reward your faithfulness by bringing winning results out of your pain.

hcsp.jpgI met with the person that I'm mentoring yesterday and we both realized that humbling ourselves before God may be the most important action that we can do everyday!

Parents today are grossly confused by lovely-sounding misinformation about how to raise children. An example is the rose theory. It alleges that children are like rosebuds. If no one bothers or interferes with them, they will naturally unfold into gorgeous roses. Sounds lovely! Trouble is, of course, children are not born into the plant kingdom! Children need strong and loving parents.

Your husband comes in the door after work and automatically flings his coat on the back of the chair. He offers a quick "hello" and plops down in his easy chair. You have a few seconds to react--or act!

This will probably get me in trouble, but ... I think it's possible that children shouldn't be allowed in church, at least not until they've been trained. I don't mean that typical genteel parental kind of training. I'm talking more like kid-to-kid warning and wisdom. Call it "How-to-Survive-the-Next-Hour-Without-Getting-Spanked-101."
