A 1:6 Women-to-Men Ratio on Ashley Madison — Why?
By
Kristina Robb-Dover
At the risk of beating a dead horse — can anyone help me understand where that awful expression comes from, by the way? — this piece takes a new angle on the whole Ashley Madison scandal. What does an eye-opening dearth of female users on the marital infidelity website reveal about married women who cheat?,…
The Real Saint Valentine
By
Kristina Robb-Dover
On this day once a year when we exchange treakly Hallmark card greetings with our loved ones, it may be salutary to remember here at this intersection between life and God who the original St. Valentine was. Valentine was a Christian pastor in third-century Rome. When the then Roman emperor Claudius issued an edict prohibiting…
Most Popular Posts and A Response to Flirt to Convert
By
Kristina Robb-Dover
It’s always amusing to discover which of my previous posts have been shared the most in the blogosphere. With 399 shares, “Flirt to Convert” is one of them. And it seems that posts relating in some way to love, marriage, sex and gender are largely the most popular among my fellow saints and sinners. With…
Reality Marriage: Are You A Sneaker, Quasher or Restorer?
By
Kristina Robb-Dover
Sorry for the long delay in posts here at this intersection. Things have been a bit bungled lately on the technical end, but I’m back with this entertaining read from saint and sinner Irene. At 38, she has never married; at 38, I’ve been with my college sweetheart since 19. This article from New York…

By
Kristina Robb-Dover
One thing that keeps me showing up at this intersection between God and life is you and your musings. I hope you’ll keep leaving them here. Here is what some of you have been saying… Saint and sinner Briana from Wheaton, IL had this to say in response to Centuries of Institutional Church Chauvinism…Based on…

Kristina Robb-Dover
I’ve missed you, and I’m counting the days when I can meet you more regularly again here at this intersection between God and life. This story comes thanks to fellow saint and sinner Paul. When a star on the basketball court can say that the game he played so well was really child’s play in…

By
Kristina Robb-Dover
Self-described “author, artist and everyday radical” Emily Wierenga is a new friend in the blogosphere. Her latest book debuts on Mother’s Day: Mom in the Mirror explores issues of beauty and body image after pregnancy, and as a survivor of an eating disorder and wife and mother to two boys, Emily brings to her deft,…
“The Dating Game” Jesus and “Eligible Bachelors” Via Susan Patton
By
Kristina Robb-Dover
I agree with Princeton alum Susan Patton, whose advice to the daughters she “never had” is lighting up the blogosphere, about one thing: women should marry men at least as smart as they are. That’s where our agreement seems to end. Patton’s argument, penned in an open letter in The Daily Princetonian, goes something as…
Sermon on the Mount Family Planning
By
Kristina Robb-Dover
Here at the intersection between life and God, author Sandy Ralya recently wrote a kind response to my original review of her book, The Beautiful Wife. (Thank you, Sandy!) Where I question Ralya’s challenge to Christian couples to have more children in response to the specter of a growing Muslim world, especially for the reason…
“The Beautiful Wife”: How One Woman Is Crusading to Save Christian Marriages
By
Kristina Robb-Dover
Reading the book, The Beautiful Wife, by author and speaker Sandy Ralya, whose agenda to save so-called “biblical marriage” seems a bit dubious from the start, feels like the times I’ve been asked to buckle up during a spate of turbulence on airplanes and find myself absent-mindedly checking for the barf bag in the seat in…
