I've thought on this subject a great deal. Everything the Bible claims could have been done in a very short period of time if God utilized his full authority over all of the physics involved. What is becoming more interesting to me is how science continues to uncover more mysteries than it...

I haven't been on in a while. I've been crazy busy. I still pray for you and I'm saddened by what you continue to go through. The only place to find rest is in Christ. As far as separation as a solution for protecting what is left of your personal financial profile, well, I would...

Every situation is different but I think you are right that something more is at work here. I agree that fathers are more strict with daughters. When a stepfather attempts to deal with parenting a stepchild, I think there may be a feeling of an absence of power/authority due to the fact that...

I found out about a similar issue with my wife last September. It was really hard to take, especially when she got defensive about it and tried to make it somehow my fault. We have worked really hard to get past the whole thing and stay together. New Years eve though, I brought up the issue...

In my situation, the drive behind my "need" to know became almost a sickness. I did find out things that put images in my head that are still troubling. A part of me says, I didn't really need to know about that, but another part of me says I never have to wonder whether or not I got the full...

I like the COD 5 World at War idea. I just dropped the hint to my wife! I have no idea what to get her. I'm thinking a nice bracelet or earrings and maybe something from the Pittsburgh Steelers catalog. She is a Steelers nut.

Oh and no, it wasn't your fault. My wife tried that, "I'm entering my sexual prime" and you are always...... There is absolutely no reason she couldn't have initiated anything she wanted with me. Instead, she would leave our bed in the night and go upstairs and get on her computer. She...

The events from your pov are disturbing. From a biblical perspective, you have every right to divorce her. Looking back, there were events where you elected to try and keep things together only to learn later on that she was still involved in extramarital affairs. I would agree, based on what...

You have rules now and if the day comes and your teen declares they are going to continue to live at home and no longer abide by those rules, well, one of you is going to set the rules. Who will it be? I agree that it is best to give them a safe place while preparing them for adulthood and...

Hmm, when I "get on her case" I don't yell, call her names (I did years ago) or even lecture her. I too worry about the depression and I have pressed my wife as much as I believe I can to get her into counseling. Monday night I got up about midnight, went into the family room and caught her...

Perhaps his boy will come as a grandson. My best friend had 3 girls, was disappointed he didn't get a boy the 3rd try but he was all about the girls after that. His oldest daughter gave him a grandson last year and I think he grandpa's little guy.

Heh, Kolyfoyneea as Arnold says, is working hard on making sure no state workers get laid off or any programs get cut, so they are talking about tripling the car tax, raising sales tax to 10%. 75% of Californians are against the tax increases, but we keep putting nut jobs in the legislature who...

I've followed your posts for some reason. There was just something so tragic in the story or perhaps the language. I dunno. Anyway, it is so refreshing to hear how your husband is responding. I remember your post about asking him to leave. I just felt so defeated. Now I'm encouraged again...

My suggestion for you is to steer away from characterizing your husband as abusive and try and understand what is at the core of his behavior. While characterizing your husbands behavior as abusive, you have characterized your son's as typical. Does typical mean your husband has to back down...

My stepdaughter is 18 and at this point it doesn't appear she is headed for much of a life. I have tried to get my wife to take action but nothing changes. This kid has NO responsibilities. No job, no school (though she says she is still taking 4 units, down from the original 15 she...

My wife picked up her wedding ring yesterday after having it resized and attached to the engagement ring. November 8th was our 11th wedding anniversary and the last few months have been the toughest. I thought it was rather symbolic of where we are today in our relationship though. She said...

Good to see you again No-L. I had wondered if you had disappeared. I really applaud your commitment to your husband. Many years ago a pastor taught me that marriage wasn't 50/50, it was 100/100. It seems like you plan to do your best to give 100%. You have such a great attitude and I'll do...

I always feel such a sense of loss when I read threads like this. Things like this happen, even to those who work so very hard to keep God first and their families together. If only I had the full wisdom of God, perhaps I could say just the right thing. I can only fall on my knees and pray...

I would add an observation, I think women want to be desired more than they want to be had. I also agree totally with Jen, women want to be loved and when a man can connect emotionally with her, it can become an onramp to the path of the physical connection. I offer the following as a proof...

I'm not sure how you would really tell but I can say that I was once engaged to a woman I thought I loved way more than she loved me. I had been in that position before and was not able to handle it emotionally. I broke off the engagement and later married a woman I loved as a friend and she...
