Respect, Responsibility and Honesty

Five gents came together to share status and guidance on our most important earthly relationship. Great conversation and pointers shared.

Please pass the word to PAX throughout The Fort as this will be a weekly occurrence. Intent is to support each other and reinforce those marital guardrails.

Marriage Mondays – it’s not Festivus

Come join other PAX of The Fort to discuss marriage. This isn’t a time for the airing of grievances nor a counseling session, but instead just a chance to share, learn and grow.

Time is 06:15 after workouts at The Fort’s favorite weekday spot, the fire pit at Kingsley, or Panera’s patio if it’s too cold.

COT: YHC had not Q’ed in some time and while I laid out a clear disclaimer, I failed to recognize that we had an FNG brought to us by Cohiba. Thanks to the pax, we were able to remedy this and provide him with a good name and explanation of F3 and the core principles.

I left the Pax with a question…what times in your life have truly brought you joy? Its a question that I was journaling about last night. What stands out to me is my wedding, the birth of my girls, seeing my girls succeed at something and the fellowship of the Pax

What has truly brought you joy?
