“I had a lot of self-loathing, .. I've been self-sustained since I was 11. I've always been the one making the money, and to be flat on my back and .. so vulnerable and then be completely loved. To have my wife be there, 110% supportive. To have my children say, 'It's OK, Mom.' To have the people that I work for say, 'It's OK.' To have my fans go, 'It's all right.' It's like, what was I afraid of? I'm going to get healthy now, and I'm not going to carry that baggage anymore.” PeopleChildrenSelfWifeFansMomHealthyMy WifeVulnerableMy ChildrenFlatsSupportiveLoathingBaggageSelf LoathingMelissa Author:Melissa Etheridge
“When my wife and I met, I couldn't talk to her - and my defense mechanism is sarcasm. I belittle someone with verbal pokes and prods. I did it to her out of complete awe. When friends introduced us, I said 'Hi' - and turned my back. Later, I called my mom and best friend and said, 'I think I just met my wife.'” ThinkingSaidWifeMomMetsMy MomMy WifeDefenseAweSarcasmMechanismPokeBelittleDefense Mechanisms Author:Mike Vogel
“I've got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we're super spiritual or we've got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church]. That won't guarantee that they'll avoid the whole PK, MK thing. But we are hopefully not contributing to what normally produces that crisis, which is pretending.” PeopleThinkingTryingDifferentRealWholeHomeKidsTogetherSpiritualThreeChurchTalkingWorryWifeProduceMomDadCrisisMy WifeHopefullyGuaranteesPretendingBeing RealContributingGuarantees ThatMom And DadHopefully Not Author:Tullian Tchividjian

“I mean, my wife is always like - I don't write lyrics. So I couldn't, like, really technically write a song for anyone. I could write a very nice instrumental.
