Hi SimplySurviving Forget what the 'health and wealth' preachers say, because they are heretics. If you are Christian, you do not get a free pass from all the pain and suffering that the world is oging through. So yes, do pray for understanding, do pray for strength, and also pray for...

I cannot see IAL promoting not being politically active. But we have to see what "social justice" really is. It is all about avoiding what is really just because some poor little waif cannot, in the mind of someone else, be held responsible for their actions, often when that same poor waif is...

The most important aspect that I took from Rachel Clark's story is that she thought that she was meant to be happy all the way through in marriage and when she was going through a bad patch, both within and outside the marriage, and she decided that divorce was the way out of her pain. That she...

La Monica, my heart goes out to you. You are in a pretty rough place right now, but then you already know that. Given what you have already told us in your posting, I think you need to get help and support IRL. You both need to have counselling to sort out your relationship and your personal...

The answer is obviously, if CF respondents are anything to go by. Have a look at the blog "Marry, Divorce, Reconcile"

I would recomend "Together" by Mark and Christine Daniel. This is published in the UK by CWR with ISBN 978-1-85345-454-7 anbd is a series of 9 studies. It is described as a small group resource for married couples but one couple can do the study on their own. And the authors are not...

Wow! It sounds like it is a good way to make yourself atttractive for a PUA. But I would not be looking to marry a girl who followed this advice. By all means be more feminine, and make the most of what you have by looking good. This would be taking the advice of the people who do "Colour Me...

I will nail my colours to the mast poublicly. If you have documentary evidence that is incontravertible, a confession, or a second witness that has seen this first hand, then go ahead. I have seen what was said on the other thread and I have posted there too. You must be careful that the OM's...

Rather than wasting money on a Psychologist, why not speand some time with your husband reading together Emmerson Eggerich's book "Love and Respect" to learn all about the "Crazy Cycle". But do remember that it is a book that does not take an egalitarian view of marriage and it will explain...

Yep Send him to read the Christian Men's Defense Network blog, and suggest he looks at all the blogs on the blogroll ofw that one. If he learns from what he reads, it will change him. I think you *will* like the change.

I agree with what you are saying, Avniel. There are some people who are utterly despicable creatures, some male and some female. It appears that the OP is not one of these people and she has married one. This has become more and more clear as the information has trickled out. I would think...

Chowder, I think you know what to do. I think you just need some help and encouragement to do it. But the first thing you nbeed to do is to get out of the fog. So stop seeing this OM now. If you must have one last contact, then send a text to tell him that you are not going to see him again...

Frequently this comes after a long period of silence while the wife is mentally checking herself out of the marriage. Because husband has not heard any complaints in a while, he thinks everything is OK when in fact wife has decided that complaining does no good and she is leaving, when the time...

When you drink that sugary drink, does it hurt? Does it harm your teeth? When you go to the dentist, does it hurt? does he/she harm your teeth? There is a difference between hurt - hearing something you might not want to hear - and harm.

It is clear that your husband was in sin,but did you contribute to it? Did you share your body with him in accordance with 1 Corinthians 7? Did you submit to him as head of the family? Did you respect him? While all of these do not excuse his sin, if such situations existed they could well...

Praying here, too, Bourne.

A PUA would say that you are suffering from 'oneitis' but I think that it is simply that your wife is rebellious. Have you read "Boundaries" by Henry Cloud and John Townsend? If not, I would recommend you read it ASAP to help you learn how to operate as an autonomous human being, and to tell...

We all need to remember that the plural of anecdote is not data. I wonder how many are prevented from remarrying by pride, either their own or their partner's, rather than any other block?

Yes, I did listen to the song. I thought it was hilarious. Why would many parents want to kill him, I do not know, but I know that was the reaction to a teacher at my daughter's school who was caught romancing one of the 6th formers (seniors). My little psychology suggests that it might be...

I would also get myself over to Christian Men's Defense Network and take the advice from that blog's postings "So Your Christian Wife Cheated" parts 1, 2 and 3.
