This was us and the only advice I have is to pray about it and be doing those things on your own, inviting your husband to join you and occasionally asking if there is a church/event he'd like to visit, always in an encouraging way, never in a passive aggressive "theres only 1 right answer here"...

We both used to feel very awkward praying out loud together (or at all) and I think the fact that it is something we grew in together makes it that much more intimate for us.

I agree... Term isn't meant to be an investment. If you look at it that way, all insurance is a poor investment! That's not its purpose. We are able to get a pretty large amount of coverage (for us) for really cheap, too, through the military. I hope it DOES end up being a "waste of money" but...

It is definitely appreciated and something I very much long for when he is gone or not as active in those ways. It's interesting that you mention leading the reconciliation process because I never really thought of that as leadership but I get your point for sure. Gives me something to think...

We have one on both my husband and I, the one covering my husband is significantly larger.

Only me... Haha

I struggle with fear. I kno

We worked together at a thrift store! It didn't take long... Haha

I am eager to try Korean food now though a little nervous about how authentic it will be in my area... It might be better saved until a trip to a bigger city! We do have a couple of excellent sushi joints around though, which my husband and I enjoy together.

I am guilty of this type of behavior as well even though, like you, I *know* better. It looks like you have gotten a lot of great advice but I wanted to mention a resource I gi.d helpful.. I'm not sure if I can post links but search for " 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge" on a site called...

That means SO much to me. You are so sweet! Yep! I missed your point but I get you and I definitely agree. Taking the time to take care of ourselves is important, because we're worth it! I hope your daughter feels better soon, for both your sake. :)

I know what you mean, FaithPrevails, and I agree! It does help. I said it's not enough to be attractive to my husband, but I definitely don't think it's unimportant. I just need to focus on having a more stable, solid self worth and more faith in him that when he is feeling "off" I don't take it...

Why do you do this? What is your goal? I think the answers to those questions will help you decide whether it's a sinful habit or not. If you are doing it to connect with the dead, it is sinful: There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone...

Yes, Dallas. Obviously I don't want him to be lusting after other women no matter what, but I think the bigger problem was feeling kind of worthless. Being attractive to my husband isn't enough. Lots of people can do that. I feel better when I know that I'm appreciated and loved for who I AM...

Exactly! It totally depends. Right now I would say without any hesitation that my husband has it harder. There have definitely been times when my job was harder, but with the job my husband has now there's no question. Of course, I thanked him a couple weeks ago for working so hard and he looked...

Praying for you daughter. :prayer:

You've all given me a lot to think about. I feel a lot better. I talked to my husband about this thread and he seems happy that I was able to get some perspective. He just got back from a weekend away and came back very affectionate and loving. He seems committed to making me feel safe and...

Loved it! Especially the "Universal Question." I need to ask myself that one a lot more often. Thanks for sharing!!

Ha! Yep. We like hiking and camping, which we haven't been able to do much of lately. We are both pretty interested in learning about nature and "rouging it" and whatnot, so we watch videos together about that sort of thing. Playing with our son, visiting family, watching movies, going for...

Dallas, thank you so much for sharing! I have bookmarked your post.
