Marriage is extremely difficult. Few people in our time prepare themselves adequately for the challenges of marriage – and the result is frequently disastrous. A successful marriage requires not only spiritual preparation (as many in the Church mistakenly believe) but also practical life skills. These skills include the ability to perform domestic duties, to deal with financial responsibilities, to form lasting and healthy relationships, to communicate effectively,to be good parents and have a good prayer life.

Roman Barnes lives among the homeless and next to the fortunate, at the edge of hope. Among Pigeons is his journey from rags to revelation. His story exposes dueling societies that share more than they are willing to admit. In a weak economy many people are struggling to remain afloat, just as Roman, and many are one decision from living among pigeons.

In writing Among Pigeons, Doctor Wood, remembers his childhood treatment of a neighborhood homeless man, dubbed John-the-Bum. He recalls: "We treated him with contempt and hatred and I never looked him in the eye to see his equality with me. I never looked beyond his dirty face or smell to see his heart. I deliberately made every effort to remain far enough as to not touch him. It is clear that decades later, it was he who touched me."
Doctor Wood believes Among Pigeons, will right a wrong, raise awareness about the homeless and lift humanity.
Doctor Wood lives with his wife Vanessa Wood and youngest son Seth in San Marcos, California.

Trust in Your Relationship...

1 John 4:18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

The best way to earn the trust of your partner is to show that you have nothing to hide. Yes, we know you value your private space, but disrespect over a tiny peak at his/her cellphone won’t really get you anywhere.

The best way to build trust from ground up is to be completely open and avoid everything that could cause suspicion. Don’t hesitate to say where you are going and who you are meeting with, don’t think this as a way to be suffocated, just try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes for a change. Talk with your partner about your problems and concerns, this way you will get support, but more importantly your relationship will strengthen.
