Boys — Relationships and Dating {Podcast Episode 18 with Rhonda Stoppe}

Hey guys, 

Today brings us to the podcast episode many of you have been waiting for!  We (finally!) get to talk about BOYS: RELATIONSHIPS AND DATING!  Are you excited?  Terrified!?  Haha, there are so many emotions on this topic, but rest assured, today’s episode is packed full of WISDOM, RICH EXPERIENCE, AND Biblical PRINCIPLES for navigating all of these things. 

Rhonda Stoppe is on with me, and here’s just one of the big reasons why we should all listen to Rhonda:   She has four grown children who are all happily married, serving God, and giving her darling grandbabies!   Seriously.  Tell me all of your secrets, Rhonda.  (and she does)

Wait, there’s more:  Rhonda is happily married to a Pastor, and she’s written a whole slew of books on topics this community is into.   (See a few of my favorites below!)  

This interview went longer than most of my episodes, and I considered where I might shave it down.  But then  I decided it was worth the extra minutes.  I just couldn’t find anything to cut.  So, you might just have to divide this over a few jogs, car-rides, or loads of laundry.  I encourage you to listen to the whole episode, however, because Rhonda keeps dropping wisdom nuggets to the very end.  

Here are a few notes and links from our conversation:

Rhonda’s Articles on Crosswalk.com (including the Birds and the Bees talk :))

Rhonda’s books mentioned:  

 The Marriage Mentor: Becoming the Couple You Long to Be

 Moms Raising Sons to Be Men

No Regrets Woman (Rhonda’s website)

You can also watch videos of the love stories of our daughters, Meredith & Jake and Kayla & Estevan (they’re fun!)

BOY MOM QUESTIONS:
1. The one thing she could not live without?  (Make sure you get one of these!) 
2.  I love Rhonda’s (honest) “Boy-approved meal” idea.
3.  And what she has to say about “keeping the romance alive in your marriage in the middle of raising little ones?”  “Never underestimate the power of a wink and a smile.”  So good!
