Sure, go ahead :) I know I have another example too, if I could just remember what it is.... it's on the tip of my tongue!

Matthew 19:9 And I [Jesus] say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." So if you want to be technical, you do fall under the Biblical "rules" for divorce, and you will...

Gabriel knows what he's talking about. My husband and I just had this discussion about his lack of doing anything around the house. I tried nagging, I tried just leaving it, I tried doing it myself.. nothing worked. But now that I have explained how it makes me feel, he has really shaped up...

I found a book that way be of help to you. Here's the link so you can check it out for yourself: http://www.family.org/resources/itempg.cfm?itemid=2999

:wave: Wow, I have been there. I have gotten a lot better and think I am on my way to overcoming it, but I still find myself struggling with jealousy quite often. I even downloaded an internet filter so I could see what my husband did online too. I also told him about it and he was very...

I just found this verse today and have to share it with everyone: :wave: "For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin, no matter how it comes or where it leads) has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that...

God saved the Philippian jailer's marriage -- he was going to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped! But because of God, he did not commit suicide, but became a believer and his whole family with him. "Then he took them [Paul and Silas] up into his house and set food before...

I'm praying for you! I agree with momluvsjesus -- get "The Power of a Praying Wife" by Stormie Omartian. It has helped me (and my hubby) out a LOT. God can take anything and make it wonderful and we must be careful not to limit Him. And I don't understand why so many people are so quick to...

I speak with the experience of a wife who has been unable to forgive her husband, who replayed past situations over and over and still sometimes stews in her troubles and enjoys it. Well, I don't actually enjoy it, but I keep doing it anyways. Does your wife have a personal relationship with...

I have been through this same dilemma with my husband. I also had a VERY hard time forgiving him and to this day what he did still haunts me once in a while. The reason I was unable to forgive my husband was all the issues that arose from it: taking a blow to my self-esteem (why would my husband...

I'm not exactly sure why I do it. I believe that it is emotional and spilling over into the physical. I don't feel loved or valued or appreciated and so I get angry and bitter and resentful and soon even looking at my husband disgusts me. As of late, my husband is not attractive to me. At all. I...

He wants to go back to the city (we moved away from it to a smaller town). He has been offered a job there that he is finding hard to resist. As for me, I don't like where we are now, but I detest that city even more. I'm a farm girl and the transition from that to a city of over a million...

I probably should never have posted anything. Every 2 or 3 months I drop into the depths of depression and hopelessness, and then, out of nowhere, I feel great again. I go from hating my marriage to loving it, to hating it... I don't know what's wrong with me. Sorry for dragging you all into...

I have one thing to say.... UGH. I was not saying that I am in an abusive marriage or being cheated on. What I was doing was giving an example and asking a question. I am not looking for loopholes and I do not appreciate being judged. Ceres, this is not just a reaction to your post, please...

I think I understand why you said I don't know what love is, but what you don't understand is that I *do* know. I am aware that "love is a verb". It's just hard to show any type of love for someone that drives you crazy. I'm not saying it's impossible, but that it's difficult. I'm sure if I were...

Not looking for a loophole... Just sharing the facts about what I found about divorce in the Bible. And no, I didn't take offense -- no worries :) . And as for Jacob and Leah... he married Rebekah too in the end. Poor Leah was miserable the whole time and felt very unloved... not a happy...

Well, I've been doing some Bible reading about marriage/divorce, and this is what I found: Matthew 19:8-11 8*Jesus replied, "Moses permitted divorce as a concession to your hard-hearted wickedness, but it was not what God had originally intended. 9*And I tell you this, a man who divorces his...

It's a good point that kawasakikid brings up -- that we as Christians are not allowed to divorce (unless on grounds of adultery), no matter how obvious a mistake the marriage was. So just because I'm a christian, I am doomed to a lifetime of trying to love someone that I don't. Well it may not...

Your wife sounds a bit like how I used to be... it really does sound like she could be suffering from depression. Not wanting sex, getting upset over stupid things (e.x. no coupon), not cleaning, no motivation to find a job... I was a "freeloader" for about 8 months of my marriage and with...

I've thought about that too. But what would my reason be -- what would I tell him? For sure he'd want to know what was going on in my life to make me want to leave for a couple weeks. Any advice?
