    Help with situation at home between us and parents.

    This is likely a long reply post, sorry. I'll respond to comments below but wanted to add some things. Like we do pay rent. We pay it in full from my check. But because my food stamps get cut from my wifes working, my mother expects $200 a month in food money. She doesn't like it when we buy...

    Help with situation at home between us and parents.

    Long story short I am married and we live at home. My wife works part time for now because finding a job here is not easy. Because I am unable to work we can't afford to move anywhere, and it has to be within this county because of the rules of the government regarding the money I get from them...

    Need some encouragement after recent discovery about health....

    I'll try to keep this short. I'm in my early 30s and been sick since I was 2. Lots of problems from seizures, to asthma, to brain injury, to migraines. Well I got out of the hospital today after having a kidney stone. But what they found out was my right kidney is pretty much dead (they are not...

    How to answer non-beleivers about laws of the OT vs NT?

    So despite me trying to avoid a debate, I got dragged into one. As always it started out nice. But of course it lead to not being nice. Someone mentioned I shave and said "I thought your a christian? Christians aren't suppose to shave according to the bible!". I tried explaining we go by the...

    Is it against the bible to take back a gift?

    My sister, who is a christian too, gave our mother a gift card for Macy's. But our mother did not use it yet. Well a few days ago my sister asked our mother if she could use the card just to get something small. So our mother let her use it. Now our mother got the card back and found out my...

    Prayer for sin against wife.

    I need some prayer. Well my wife will be in this country soon after getting a visa approved. We've been married and spent months apart at a time. Needless to say the "intimacy" end of things is hard because obviously we wait until we are together. Over the last week we have been looking...

    Hurting the ones we love

    I know there are those I give advice to and sometimes it backfires and makes things worse for them. Then when they confront me I apologize. We all try to help others and mean well by it. Such as trying to be friendly as ask a woman if shes pregnant, only to find out shes overweight and not...

    Macho Married Men

    Your not alone Ana The 1st. I got asked if I was gay once because I don't act like a typical macho man. Talking about sex, sexy women, sports, beer...etc. Even more so when I say I hate machoism. Its why for most of my life I have had more female friends then male ones. I overheard my uncle...

    in sickness and in health...

    Thanks for sharing it. I can in no way compare to that in terms of how she felt of course. But I know for many years I had migraines almost 95% of a month. SO severe I cried constantly, gained weight... just was a depressed mess. Suicide was a common though. There were a few times I'd bang my...

    Living with parents after marriage? Good or bad idea?

    I do think in this situation there are issues that are already obvious. In most cases I wouldn't recommend it unless its REALLY talked about in detail and alot to make sure things will be clear. Now that my parents are buying a new house they are looking for one with an inlaw suite. Or one that...

    Married men: How important was it to find a beautiful wife?

    I would like to add, I wonder what people who only want beautiful woman think if that beautiful woman has beautiful habits like picking their nose and eating it. Not trying to be gross but curious on how far someone is willing to take "beauty".

    Sex...Does it ever become "meh"?

    Actually that makes me wonder. Psychologically if someone really does stick to vanilla their whole life, I wonder if that means their life may be like that. As in they are comfort zone people. Those who don't like to try thing no matter what area of life it is. I love trying new flavors of...

    The marriage bed- is there a wrong way to make it?

    My feeling is outside of the obvious things we aren't suppose to do intimately that the bible talks about, anything outside of that is ok. But of course the couple has to want to do it. Everyone likes something different. Something I try to tell people is don't try everything all at once. That...

    Learning to juggle a new marriage with other stuff

    Lets face it, going from single to married means lots of adjustments. Especially when both people have never been married before. And even more so when christian. Iv'e tried to adjust my life as it is before my wife gets here. Gotten rid of all my "single" activities. And really don't miss them...

    Childfree for now. How to deal with constant baby questions?

    I say use tazors. ^_^ Really though now that my wife is almost to america we are getting these questions/comments again. Like "Can't wait to see the cute baby you two will have!" or because my wife gained just a little weight they are asking her if shes pregnant. We don't even tell people we...

    Living with parents after marriage? Good or bad idea?

    It really depends on many factors. Such as your cultural background for one. In my wifes culture you live at home. You can move out if you want of course. The most important factor is what are your parents like? If you have controlling in snooping parents then it will be an issue. If you...

    Was waiting worth it for you?

    Well people who have not had sex assume its the same before and after. And maybe for them it is. For me I lost my virginity before marriage (years before I met my wife). But having sex it after marriage it felt...different. Its as if the sex before marriage was just that... meaningless sex that...

    Regarding the gift of celibacy

    I believe the gift of celibacy is a rare gift. Sadly today because of how the media portrays love and marriage at a young age, alot of people tend to think they are called to be celibate then if by 21 they haven't married or even dated. I never had a real date until I was 27, which sadly is...
