Join the dialogue! Thinking Human Matters is for people who enjoy digging deeply into the human experience, for people who have the courage to examine themselves and the culture around them. Love, marriage, sexuality, child-rearing, work, play, religion, art, psychology, science, conflict and the hope for reconcilation -- Steven Kalas coaxes the important human questions out of life, whether from everyday events around us or from global breaking news.
Read all of Steven's columns.

 Our Sunday morning protocol finds us perusing and savoring the Review-Journal while sipping coffee. My interest in psychology started in high school but was not pursued in college. I have, however, raised three sons with all the trials and...
Was it really necessary to use the word "crippled" in your (June 6, Review-Journal) column?
As a person with a spinal cord injury and deeply affected by paraplegia for the past six years, I find myself offended. I looked up the...
Can a marriage survive an affair?
My husband and I moved here a year ago, after my husband had an affair with a co-worker, in hopes of repairing our relationship. My husband's father cheated on his wife, as did his grandfather cheat on his...
My second wife died of cancer in '07. We have no kids between us, but her son and his family are still close to me as well as my two kids and their families. I'm "Grandpa" to all. My ex-wife and I are still close as friends. My problem is...
My best friend has been dating this guy. When she met him, he presented himself as divorced and single. But he neglected to mention that he was a father, or that he still lived in the same house as the boy's mother.
My sixth sense tells me my...
To be honest, I've thought for a long time that you'd tackle this issue, but you haven't. Maybe you're waiting for someone to ask. So I'll ask. What do you think about the controversy these last several years about gay marriage? Do you support it or...
My adopted 12-year-old grandson was physically abused as a child. The therapists have trained his parents not to spank him, but to hold him when he has a tantrum, so he doesn't hurt himself. It is physically and emotionally exhausting for them, plus...
At the Burger King at McCarran International Airport C Gates, 16 ounces of bottled water costs $3 and 22 cents. Yep, I broke a twenty to pay for it.
I'm drinking it right now. Sitting on the floor, waiting to board my flight, my aptly named laptop...
She has tried everything to dodge this guy. She has tried acting casual. She has tried not taking him very seriously. She has tried being moody and irritable. She has tried making her schedule impossible at work.
She has lectured him again and...
I have been married for 27 years and have been with my husband my entire adult life. Little did I know that it would be mostly the saddest and alone years I would ever spend -- two desperate people grabing for the same drifting wood tossing in the...
Recently, I went to see the movie "Watchmen." This movie is rated R, and it has extremely violent and explicit sexual scenes in it. What bothered me was that I noticed a man had brought a very small child -- she couldn't have been more...
Last fall, my husband of 35 years told me he was leaving me. Married since we were 19. Three children ages 25 to 33 and three grandchildren, 6 to 12 years old. (In a recent column, you acknowledged to a widow) that everyone wishes they had their...
My husband and I got into a heated argument last weekend. We got through it OK and even made some progress in understanding. But I looked up and saw our 6-year-old daughter looking at us. Should kids see their parents fight? Frankly, I don't know...
Is there one God and one path? Or one God and many paths?
I have been reading Thomas Friedman's work on the Middle East, and he is of a mind that peace between Christians, Jews and Muslims depends on some form of (at least) tolerance of each...
Okay. A politically conservative friend sends me this 'internet thing' citing an Israeli psychologist. It's an 'internet thing,' meaning, it's anonymous. Which is perfect, of course. We've all worked hard to build a world where anybody can say...
