Writing about love during a bad week

Here were two pieces I published that I felt were decent snapshots of the week, which was heartbreaking for me, triumphant for others.

So, how was your marriage on election night? I discovered that a lot of Democrat/liberal women quarreled with their male partners on election night. It was weirdly soothing to realize how common this was, and also to just think about love and comfort during a tough time.

7 moms talk about turning boys into good men. I started this before the election, assuming that it was going to be a woman's America when it was published. I was incorrect. But I do think speaking to strong women about the effort of forming good men is possibly even more relevant than had the election outcome been what I'd expected/hoped.
