Has learning become a burdensome chore for your children—and an ongoing frustration for you as a parent, as well? In today's edition of Family Talk, Cheri Fuller, author of Motivating Your Kids from Crayons to Careers, reminds parents that their own curiosity about the world around them can be infectious. She suggests engaging with your kids about their particular interests, talking about your Christian faith walk, sharing your experiences growing up, and possibly interviewing their grandparents, too. Doing so will help unwrap your child’s God-given gifts and ignite an unquenchable passion for learning.

Many people casually believe that marriage should be a 50/50 proposition. But they’re wrong. Because that would be describing a performance-based marriage, where a husband and wife are always keeping score. Bob Lepine, author of Love Like You Mean It, cautions that we simply need to serve each other, instead of asking, “Did he or she pull their weight today?” Inspired by Jesus Himself, Bob describes how both partners in a Christian marriage should always give 100%.
