Marriage links for the week
I learned a new word this week, thanks to Jollyblogger. Uxoriousness: excessively submissive or devoted to one's wife; foolishly fond of or submissive to your wife. He explains the word and offers some thoughts on it as it applies to Adam, Abraham, and all men who follow God.
Jollyblogger also expounds on the differences between guys and men this week. He offers a short self-evaluation to discover whether you're a guy or a man based on male role models and women you find attractive. I came down solidly on the man side in the comparison to other men, but solidly on the guy side in the women I find attractive. I think the latter has more to do with the women's age than with my own level of maturity, though.

Ronald Reagan left behind a legacy of love for his family, and especially his wife:
In the written and photographed record of their years together, running for governor, walking in inaugural parades, strolling Camp David, after the attempt on his life and her mastectomy, the Reagans always are holding hands, hers slipped into his. Sometimes, she wanted to hold him with both hands, and she reached around with her free hand to clasp his wrist as well.
