As a culture, consent continues to be a concept that is more complicated than “no means no.” Through its simplest definition, the idea is that an enthusiastic “yes” is the only thing that begets consent. However, ensuring we are all on the same page…
Consent is sticky and confusing because we haven't given future sexual beings the language, tools, or authority to communicate.
Just because we as a culture decide we're done with something doesn't mean it goes away.

Blind–date BabyFiona HarperDear Noah It seems like just the other day when I met you on blinddatebrides.com. When my daughter signed me up I know it was because she felt I sacrificed my life to bring her up alone. But you can still be forty and... flirty! I couldn't believe my luck when my blind date was a tall, dark, handsome stranger – yet you turned out to be that and so much more... But now things have gone further and faster than I could have imagined because – well, we're pregnant! Noah – we need to talk. Love Grace
These are flawless.
[dropcap2]I[/dropcap2]never owned a Barbie doll. Not that I didn’t dearly desire one. My parents, wanting to give me what I so deeply craved yet being budget minded, got me the less-pricey, generic-variety “Barbie”. Her name was “Mitzi”. But let’s face it. She just didn’t have the panache, class, or sexiness of the original B-goddess. Heck, […]

Bars and clubs can be intimidating when on the prowl. But with a few new techniques, we'll teach you how to approach a girl at a bar and spark her interest.
My husband and I were only 21 when we married. High school sweethearts, young and in love, we had a lot of growing up to do in life, especially in communicating with each other. Now we’re almost fifteen years into marriage, and it still doesn’t come easy. Sometimes I wonder how conversations in those early years seemed so simple. Maybe it was because, back then, communication looked like deciding how many episodes of Lost we wanted to binge watch that particular evening, or whether or not to do a midnight Taco Bell run for a cheesy gordita crunch.Nowadays, communicating looks more like talking through circumstances, such as whether or not to make the career change, to homeschool or not, to move or not, to buy the truck or not. It looks like disagreeing with as much enthusiasm and stubbornness on big issues, such as how to parent a particular child, as the small issues, such as how you should pack to go camping. You would think after becoming parents and working through sleepless nights, and settling differences when hormones rage and tensions rise, that what followed after would be a piece of cake, but it’s not. Communication is work–hard work.Photo Credit: © Getty Images/monkeybusinessimages

We use the language of reconciliation fairly often in Christian social justice circles. Sometimes we offer ourselves synonyms like diversity or multiculturalism, but I think it's really important for us to explore the realities of practicing reconciliation. The fact that there is no singular definit
