Dr. Jo Herzog answers the following question from a Family Savvy reader.
Hi Dr. Herzog,
I have several skin tags that bother me and that I want to have removed, but they are in very awkward places. Frankly, I am afraid that removing them in these areas will be especially painful. Can you advise me?…
ย For the first part of our marriage, I was not a safe place for my husband. Instead of responding to difficult situations with a heart seeking to listen and understand, I often went into “attack and control” mode.To get to real intimacy in marriage, it is important to know and be known. But being fully transparent is not always easy, especially since we are sinners and imperfect mates. But, as my friend and marriage expert Joe Beam points out, if we desire intimacy and transparency, we must be a “safe place” for our spouse. If we attack or belittle him or her for being honest, the marriage will not grow stronger.Ask yourself the following questions to see if your mate feels safe in his or her relationship with you. ย ___________ probably feel(s) ย :5 Often, 3 Sometimes, 1 Never(For brevity’s sake, I will only use the pronoun “him” in the questions.)…
Today I am sharing one of my favorite products. This nondescript ย bottle contains the BEST spot/stain remover that I have ever used.
I can’t recall where I learned about this remover, but it was years ago. It works better than any other stain remover that I have ever used, and I have tried most of them.
This is a staple in my cleaning cupboard, along with a good sturdy toothbrush. Scrubbing is imperative to make this work (although some spots seem to fade instantly as soon as this solution hits the stain)….
Acne is embarrassing to anyone but especially to teenagers. Dr. Jo Herzog is both a mom and a dermatologist, and she offers her best advice to parents and teens on how to prevent and treat acne.
It happens all the time. A husband or wife drops the bombshell, “I’m leaving; there is someone else.” ย Or, he or she gets “caught” in an affair before declaring love for a newfound “soul mate.” We saw the latter scenario play out on national television years ago when a sniffling South Carolina Governor laced his “apology” for infidelity with a declaration of love for his “soul mate.”
One of the most challenging scenarios in marriage ministry is trying to reason with someone involved in the beginning stages of an affair, as he or she is most likely acting against all spiritual, relational, and logical principles that he or she once valued. Attempting to reason with such a person~whether with scripture, common sense, or emotional appeal~will most likely fail
Joe Beam’s many years of research and counseling with crisis marriages has given him great insight into what is happening in the minds of those who throw all sense aside when caught up in the drama of an affair. The phenomenon is calledย limerance, and anย understanding of limeranceย helps those on the outside looking in to better understand the irrational and destructive behavior of someone caught up in an affair….
