We always hear “the rules” from the female side. Now here are the humorous rules from the male side. (Please note these are all numbered “1” on purpose!)
# 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
# 1. Sunday=sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
# 1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
# 1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! We’ll get it for you, but just LET US KNOW WHAT YOU WANT!
# 1. Most guys own three pairs of shoes. What makes you think we would be any good at choosing which pair (out of thirty) would look good with your dress?
# 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. Our vocabulary isn’t as fluid as yours.
# 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
# 1. A headache that lasts for seventeen months is a problem. See a doctor…or pray!
# 1. Please let us know about that funny noise in your car engine as soon as you hear it.
# 1. If you think you’re fat, don’t ask our opinion. We refuse to answer, but we still love you.
# 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and if one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
# 1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
# 1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
# 1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
# 1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
#1. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
# 1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
# 1. NASCAR is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
# 1. I am in shape. ROUND is a shape.
Thank you, honey, for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight. But did you know, I really don’t mind…it’s sort of like camping!

Meet Pastors Dean and Kim Hawk, the heartwarming duo behind the creation of Rock Family Church. Since they exchanged vows in 1983, their journey has been filled with love and family. Together, they have five incredible adult children—Alesha with her husband Aaron, Allyson, and Preston with his wife Melannie. Their joy extends to four precious grandchildren.
Dean's dedication to ministry dates back to 1981, and his passion shines through in every aspect of his work. Before establishing RFC in 2004, he graciously served as a Youth and Associate Pastor in three different churches. Dean's teaching style is both practical and illustrative, bringing the Bible to life through engaging topical and verse-by-verse lessons that seamlessly apply to your everyday life. Beyond his pastoral duties, Dean shares his wisdom as an adjunct professor at Charis Bible College in Woodland Park.
Kim, a vital part of our Executive Team, wears multiple hats as our CFO and oversees the Children's Team and Women's Ministry. Her vibrant and infectious attitude, combined with her deep love for our church family, is unmistakable.
Don't hesitate to introduce yourself: you'll often find them in the lobby between services. Dean and Kim can't wait to welcome you and look forward to the joy of meeting you soon!
