What I would like to see in a magazine

[clskier]

I’ve been looking for a good family magazine to subscribe to and was thinking this morning what all I would like to see in it. Not sure if my perfect magazine exists or not, but if it does, someone here will know. So here is what i’d like to see:

Articles about relationships/marraige. One geared towards the man, another for the woman. Both each month. Iv’e read some excellent books lately like “Understanding the mind of a woman”, and “The five languages of love”. It would be great to have a little reminder each month on things to look out for in how we treat our spouses.

An article on some bit of catechism. It never hurts to be reminded of these things.

An article on society, and how we can improve. Some example topics might be “why is artificial birth control wrong”, “why is gay marraige wrong”, “What are we (society) improving on”

Perhaps some discussion of this months upcoming gospils.

Parenting tips

Special discussion on any upcoming Holy Days. (i.e. December could have a discussion on St. Nicholas Day, history of, different traditions, etc.).

A Q&A forum for write in letters.

Movie and TV reviews

Lot’s more ideas. I’m sure this magazine exist, just don’t know what it is. If anyone knows of such a magazine, please let me know. If not, any magazine publishers out there? I bet this would fly.

With the exception of movie reviews and special “gender” editions, the Couple to Couple League puts out a magazine that meets your checklist remarkably well.

Discussion of our “culture of death,” scripture and catechsim, newsbriefs, Q & A, relationship building etc. Lots of NFP stuff as well.

Do you need to have it in print form? It sounds a lot like what Catholic Exchange has on their site. Try emailing them, though, and see if they would consider doing a magazine version. It doesn’t hurt to ask!

Faith and Family comes closest to what you describe. My wants are more modest, I would gladly read any magazine that does not advertise products to enhance sexual performance or take care of bodily functions in full color fold-out ads with scratch and sniff features.

Thanks all,

Faith and Family looks great. I’m looking forward to my trial issue to see how I like it. Also, the couples to couples magazine looks promising. I would like to find a single issue to sample prior to shelling out the $30 subscription fee.

And to answer an earlier question, yes, I am looking for something in print. I want reading material for my daily commute. Also think it would make a good coffee table reader.
