Would she attend Retrouvaille with you? I read through your other thread and I think your helpfulness with the laundry is great (based on lack of clean clothes keeping her away from various family activities, etc...) but my own experience is that I got pretty frustrated with Love Dare...

Not sure I am hearing you correctly? There's a saying around Christian circles that "LOVE is not a feeling. It's an act of the will. It's a commitment" Are you saying that LOVE involves feelings? emotions? If so, I agree with you. To take marriage as an example, a marriage with no...

Not everything in 1 Cor 13 is, but Patience and kindness are expressly listed as "fruit of the Holy Spirit" Gal 5:22-23 "Fruit" just happens as we abide in the vine. We don't have to work to produce it. I'm saying this because I spent perhaps 35-40 years of my life with a "performance"...

I was told by a professional male counselor (who works with sex offenders) that the demand for BJ's and/or anal sex is symptomatic of inappropriate content use. So this generation of young men steeped in inappropriate content is going to be using the book as a sledghammer to bust through their wives' reservations "see, MD says...

Well, I have read enough of the book in the excerpts available for free to discern that any growth has not been deep enough! Nevertheless, I admit that I disliked him since I heard about the following (GROSS MIS)use of the portion of Scripture Peter wrote to wives in 1 Peter 3: QUOTING MARK...

In your judgment with which I disagree. If my husband had to be pregnant and nurse 8 children, it would have prevented him from doing many MANY things he has enjoyed greatly. It is giving up my life for my husband AND my children TOO.

The link worked for me. There is a very long tradition of putting down people- especially little boys- for any expression of "weak" emotion, so they learn, from early childhood, to bury emotions like sadness or hurt very deeply. As the years pass, the reservoir of stuffed internal pain grows...

IMO the topic of ABUSE should be separated from this "feminism" tangent which seems really way off topic and disrespectful to the men who have made themselves vunerable and shared their abuse stories as well as to the self professed feminists on the forum who should not be lumped in with abuse...

I have been accused of being a (contemptuous spit!) FEMINIST! and have not read them nor have I any interest in doing so. My views come out of the Bible and my relationship with God who has reassured me time and time again that I am valued and respected by HIM regardless of how any of his...

I admit it is not men alone who are abusers. Pink - Please Don't Leave Me Offical - YouTube

My adult son and his wife (much to my chagrin) listened to PP and were on a Driscoll kick until he put his foot so squarely in his mouth insisting that the Bible supports SAHM only and a stay-at-home-dad is a wuz who needs to repent or be excommunicated. DS' wife was raised in a more SAHD...

LOL. That is very quotable! (and wise) :thumbsup:

Here is a small clip from another pretty thorough book review Rachel Held Evans | Driscoll, "Real Marriage"and Why Being a Pastor Doesn't Automatically Make You a Sex Therapist While I appreciate Mark and Grace’s honesty in admitting that they don’t “have it all...

Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. The SoS is not an ode to Solomon as "good role model for christian husband". http://thewartburgwatch.com/2011/11/14/alternatives-to-mark-driscolls-inappropriate contentogrification-of-the-song-of-songs/

There is a whole series on the book at Fuller Seminary's Burner Blog (It Seems) Mark Driscoll Thinks Wives Are Only Good for Sex « The Burner I expect you read this part in the 1st chapter by now? I felt God had conned me by telling me to marry Grace, and allowed Grace to rule over me since...

I often make soup. You can make a lot of different varieties and I've had people come up years later and recall and compliment the soup I made after they had a baby- "best soup they ever had!". I also think they are nutritious! I put in tons of veggies and go lightly on the salt and use the...

Would you give your life for your spouse I have, I bore him 8 children, nourished and cherished them as my own body, changed my body forever, put my life and health on the line that they might live, and strained certain parts of my anatomy so much that it has very likely shortened my...

The following confused me because I was not sure if the poster is ADVOCATING this or pointing it out as a form of bondage that needs to go on the ash-heap of history. Ever since Genesis 3:16! Gary Thomas speaks of it in Sacred Influence (link)

As a Christian, I think it is far more important HOW we disagree than THAT we disagree. Disagreements are inevitable. The question is, are we expressing disagreement agreeably? in a manner which honors Christ and the other individual?

Agreed! (and shame on me for being manipulated by a nice sounding apology!)
