Mark continues his vacation in Hawaii! Mark and Debbie open the show with an interesting article about Christian couples staying faithful online, and the benefits of having joint e-mail and Facebook accounts.
Mark and Debbie get to an e-mail on the show dealing with disciple and developing consequences for children. Debbie brings an e-mail to the show from a wife that has been struggling in her marriage for 20 years and Mark explains the importance of making the choice to be happy in life.
Another e-mail comes to the show from a husband who has been married for 13 months and is very unhappy with his ‘emotional’ wife.

With regard to the first email. The answere lies in the middle. When there is a behavior you want to correct in the child explain to them how they are to behave and the consiquence for misbehavior. ie. “Little jonny, I don’t want you to hit your sister.” Explain why hitting sis is not appropriate. Then, “if you hit sue again you will go in time-out (or whatever discipline you deem neccesary) for 5 min.” Then when little jonny hits sus jonny goes immediatly to time-out.
