    Love & Respect

    Thanks FaithPrevails and Chaz :) I appreciate it! Hope some good discussion comes out of this. If anyone's read the book in it's entirety, can you explain what you understood to be the author's take on giving unconditional respect to your husband and maybe even give examples? I've been...

    Love & Respect

    I guess I should have checked other threads to see whether this book was brought up before. Sorry! The thought occurred to me but I was working with a slow internet connection and was too lazy to dig. And yes the author never states that love and respect are exclusive of each other, or that...

    Love & Respect

    This thread is based on the book by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs titled, Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs. I'm a newlywed and recieved this book as a present during my bridal shower, and am finally finding the time to read it now. Although I find a lot of...

    How did you set your wedding date?

    Ours really revolved on family availability. My sister (who was also my maid of honor) is free only 2 times a year, summer or 2-3 weeks during the Christmas holidays bc she's in her last year of med school and is on a very tight schedule. Since we were discussing it in early in 2010 (literally...

    Poll: premarital counseling

    We did a 3.5 hour premarital counseling session with our pastor (both attend the same church) before marriage all in one go due to all of our crazy schedules. I thought it was helpful but I put we only took it somewhat seriously because of the fact that we never really followed up on all the...

    urgent request: please pray for dad

    Thank you so much for all who prayed and are praying. It is literally going to take a mountain of prayers because I feel like only God Himself can change this situation. Dad's not an evil person, he's just deceived into believing that alcohol is the best way to solve his depression and his...

    urgent request: please pray for dad

    Hello fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, I have an urgent prayer request right now for my dad, who's been struggling with a psychological dependence on alcohol for years. Recently it's taken a turn for the worse and he is now abusive towards my mother and brother. He is now stating that...

    Message To Your Younger Self

    Note to younger self: follow your dreams, and don't let anyone tell you that it's not worth it. Not trying is the worst failure of them all. Also: Listen to your mom and stand up straight. And lastly: You were right the first time about him.

    Remove rep feature and replace with "like"

    :) Yes it is facebookish! Nothing new under the sun. :P But I still maintain that it's a good idea and we could do without the rep points button. Rep points are just pointless and waste the space up there.

    Remove rep feature and replace with "like"

    I really like the facebook feature where you can "like" individual posts and then click to see who has liked that post. I think it would be great if we could get rid of the rep points feature (which I have always thought of as a little silly) and replace it with a like button and you can click...

    Short Shorts Get Woman Three Days Jail

    Um, I don't think so. She acted like an idiot and hopefully 3 days in jail taught her something.

    IJWTS-Also especially in Mexico. I hear this is bc there is cane sugar in their Coca Colas which gives it more of a natural taste. IAJWTS-that my hands smell like Subway (saving it in the fridge). Tempting.

    Why do people assume that skinny people have issues

    Depends on how skinny and their norm. I know people who have lost so much weight that their thinness now makes me wonder about their relationship with food. I love food and cooking, however I'm pretty average weight. I'm a size 6 (pushing 8 now :( ) American, which is probably fat in Euro...

    Working as a secretary at a MICU!!!!

    I had to work last week without a secretary (I'm a nurse) and I realized how dependent I am on our secretaries. It was kind of sad when I realized I did not know how to get vital forms we use every day off the computer or what was wrong with the fax machine. I know I can speak for the nurses and...
