The Decline of the Marriage Covenant
Marriage was once the sacred foundation of civilization. It was the covenant upon which families, communities, and moral order were built. It bound man and woman together in purpose, duty, and devotion under the authority of God. Today, that covenant has been reduced to a fragile contract of convenience. What was once holy has become negotiable. What was once permanent has become temporary. The decline of the marriage covenant is not only a personal tragedy. It is a national one.

The Moral Economics of Love
Every human system, whether spiritual, political, or relational, is governed by incentives. People repeat what is rewarded and avoid what is punished. Love is no exception. It may sound sacred and emotional, but it still follows the law of cause and effect. When love is rewarded with gratitude, it grows. When it is met with entitlement, it dies. Modern society has rewritten the incentives of love, turning what was once an act of sacrifice into a transaction of convenience. The result is a generation that no longer knows how to give without gain.

Scorpio Pig. . Top Story - November 2025.
When coming up with a title for this, I came to the brilliant realisation that I am a Scorpio Pig. A classic and undisputable Scorpio (though the horoscope vs reality debate lives on) and a 1995 year of the pig baby. I’ve always liked being a Scorpio, but the pig thing took a minute. A couple years ago my friend took me micro-pig walking for my birthday, did you know pigs have a hierarchy system? Seriously. They take rankings very seriously, and as my pig Mr Darcy was pushed out the way by his superior, I found out just how serious it was.

They displace us from a sense of being worthy and lovable. Heartache is oftentimes a result of that attachment we create -- sometimes long before the relationship ever started.

Why Genuine Human Connection Is Becoming a Rarity
We’re a generation that can communicate digitally so easily, so instantly and at such volume but somehow it seems even harder to really connect at all. Technology has shortened distances, but deepened loneliness. People interact through screens all the time, but few people are feeling connected. Real intimacy is replaced by the illusion of closeness, and in the end people all feel more alone despite their attempts to communicate.
