Detachment and Emotions

In a marriage, hiding emotions and bottling them up is very bad news. They'll come out somehow, and it will probably be in a dysfunction of some sort. For myself, I ended up over-eating in restaurants and buying lots of silly gadgets that I didn't need in order to make myself feel better. Bad, Bad, Bad.

Man's Search for Meaning

Great book, read it. I highly recommend it to everyone. It is well written, accessible and deeply insightful.

Welcome

This is just a first post to get started. I welcome everyone to the Family Function blog. Basically, I'll be talking about my own family, how it functions, and trying to point to resources to help other families - yours, to be specific. As a starting point, you can look to my wife's web site for pics and some stories. You might also check out my personal journal blog although it's not quite as relevent.
