Reading 1 Eph 4:32–5:8 Brothers and sisters: Be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in Christ. Be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and handed himself over for us as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma.

He must really like you.” “He was saying a lot of nice things before this whole pregnancy episode; how it was a huge mistake on his part to have let me go.” “Err, I don’t know…

But, in fact, the growing number of men putting off fatherhood until later in life may find there are big consequences for them and their kids – or lack of them.

Last night I was invited to a dinner party in Victoria Island. It was organized by a friend to celebrate her recent achievements. I requested an Uber as usual and a black sedan pulled up.

Shani Orgad, London School of Economics and Political Science When the King of Sweden asks Joan, the protagonist of the newly-released film The Wife, what she does for a living, she replies, ironically, “I am a king maker”.
