    Don't think I can make it through this

    I woke up today angry.I need to reflect and come to terms with what happened in my marriage.I am divorced now and have no desire to get back with my husband. I get so angry at him sometimes as I try to maintain a friendship with him for our son's sake. He feels free to share with me all the...

    Was it abuse?

    puregrl - Thank you for sharing. It know it's silly to think your the only one, but I really did. I didn't even know there was a such thing as spousal rape. I think maybe I should seek some help ( preferably from a consoler or psychiatrist that believes in God) visinary - I hear what your...

    Was it abuse?

    I was married for 5 years. Through out this marriage I was never a very sexual person. After a point in the marriage it became very difficult for me to enjoy sex. When I brought this up to my husband he said it was my Christian duty and his right as my husband no matter how I felt. I voiced my...

    Are Confederate flags unpatriotic?

    As an African American I have always felt threatened by seeing that flag on cars, homes, and businesses ( and I live in New York State!) . I understand being proud of your heritage but when that heritage involves unwarranted violence, prejudice, and intimidation then it's wrong. My parents...

    Is Using a Fleshlight a Sin? Can Christains Use Sex Toys?

    Wow my ex husband use to have that issue and we were married. I was ok with it at first but when it became his "dirty little secret" I became really bothered by it. Once we separated and divorced he admitted he knew it was a sin but couldn't help himself. I have to say I have never felt the...

    Dealing with Divorce by Faith

    It would be interesting, to say the least. When I asked my ex to leave he recommended marriage consoling via the church. I was so over with the idea of receiving help by the church but I wanted to try this out feeling that if God really wanted things to work they would work. It was a great...

    God is my boyfriend

    :cool:I can certainly understand how that might make a man uncomfortable. I think I I were a guy I would feel better thinking of God as a father figure instead.:thumbsup: I have seen the "bride of Christ thing taken a little too far where women are substitution God for their husbands in a...

    Intersex

    I think they ( hermaphrodites ) need our love and support. They were born physically different and have to cope with the result of that ( which cannot be easy ). They can life as they are or have a sex change and choose a side. Both seem very painful physically and emotionally. God does not make...

    Is Using a Fleshlight a Sin? Can Christains Use Sex Toys?

    That first half of the above quote is a bit of a long shot don't you think. For new Christians this may be an issue but of you've been in Christ for a while I am sure we know not to take advantage of the grace awarded to us. I do however agree the extreme degree to which some churches take the...

    Is Using a Fleshlight a Sin? Can Christains Use Sex Toys?

    :idea:Lets put sex in it's proper perspective. It is a wonderful gift from God ( when used to express the deepest emotions of love of course) , any one whose had it can attest to that. Like all gifts given to us each has it's place and proper use. Sex,and desire,are not evil are good but...

    Is Using a Fleshlight a Sin? Can Christains Use Sex Toys?

    I think the real question here is lust. Is lust ok? Follow me on this one, see in order to touch or just have a wild fantasy one has to conjure up an image in their head. This image in their mind helps to create the mood and here comes the willingness and desire and lust. It may not be...

    :wave:I am changing my life slowly in every way to better reflect the Christian life style I want to live. I have gone through my iTunes list and gotten rid of almost all of my secular music that was overtly sexual or violent in nature. I have purchased a few WOW and WOW worship songs and some...
