The Unacknowledged Worlds of Unmarried Fathers
I was intimate last year with a good number of men. There was Leo the engineer, Jake the construction worker, Brad the investment banker, and one of my favorites-Rico, who was just a youngster, really. There were others as well, too numerous to name. Read More...

Lynn was 15 at the time and devastated. Read More...

My most popular 2016 post

Hey everyone, it's Gary.

If you're single or know someone who is, I thought you might like this blog post I wrote in January. It has been, far and away, my most popular post so far this year as its been shared over 9,000 times:

6 Signs He or She isn't Marriage Material

(If you were wondering, this post - Why Men Don't Change - has been my second most shared post of the year.)

Also, did you download your free copy of Every Good Marriage Begins With a Funeral yet? It's brand new material that explores how God uses marriage to shape us, transform us, and renew us. Whether you're married, or would like to be someday, I believe it will be a great resource for you.

You can download your free copy here.

When you check out my most popular posts or download my new free book you'll also get all my new ideas from GaryThomas.com.

Thanks,
Gary
