    Husband who doesn't want anymore kids

    This would be my advice, too. Faithfully seek God about this issue. Ask Him to change your heart if it's His will that you have more children, or change her heart. Fast and pray about it. "The fervent, effectual prayers of the righteous man availeth much."

    looking in from the outside

    DEFINITELY cute and affectionate together. This is what people say. I've had a friend say he never saw a couple more affectionate than us.

    Being more domestic

    Thank you everyone for all your wonderful advice and encouragement. My husband and I don't have anyone in our lives to mentor us or be an example towards us. We had the couples Bible study, but that was extremely disappointing and frustrating. My own parents do not have a healthy marriage and...

    Being more domestic

    Aw! Thank you! In our emails this morning we were loving and understanding. I did not trust myself to keep calm, so I put the essence of my thoughts into an email. I held onto it for a few hours reading and rereading it. I wanted to make sure I wasn't attacking him, pushing him into a corner...

    New understanding

    I myself have been very irritated with all the people who claim the "the first/second/tenth year is the HARDEST." It has not been for us at all. Does this mean we neevr have disagreements, hurt feelings, misunderstanding, little rough patches? No. We have all of those, but I would NEVER say...

    Being more domestic

    I completely agree. The question was very undefined and very open-ended. The whole study has been terrible like this and I'm glad it's over. I DO think DH and I interpreted the question differently. I honestly have no idea what the POINT of the question was. It was unclear and open ended...

    Being more domestic

    He got back to me and he was apologetic and admitted that I have been doing more around the house with less help from him. He expressed appreciation for all I've been doing for him and how much it helps when he has a heavy workload. He agrees that we should try to delegate household duties so...

    Being more domestic

    I wrote DH an email expressing my feelings and suggesting that we work out individual and shared duties in the home. In my gut I feel like this is NOT going to go over well. :-(

    Being more domestic

    His mother DID do all the housework and she still does. That explains why he would want me to be more like that. Those are the roles he's used to. Alternatively, MY mother and father joined together in the housework (or made the kids do it!). It was always a joint effort between them. If one...

    Being more domestic

    I wanted to respond that way so badly, but I thought it would only cause an argument, then hurt feelings, etc. Instead I told him, "I really love it when you help me out with all those things."

    Being more domestic

    I haven't sat down with him and DISCUSSED that I want him to help out more. But I DO ask him to help me at those times when it's becoming very difficult for me to do it on my own. It hurts because I'm met with a lot of grumbling and complaining. No, I don't want him to WANT to, but I don't...

    Being more domestic

    My DH has mentioned that to me too - if I became a SAHW or SAHM. I think the MAJORITY of the household stuff would then be MY responsibility, but even so, I would still expect him to help out even a little after he gets home from work. He lives there and makes messes and it's his home - even if...

    The first year of marriage - what is/was it like for you?

    1. No, the beginning of our marraige has not been rocky. We have not argued a lot. It has not all been romance and roses, but there's been a LOT of romance and roses. Only few rocky parts. 2. I am surpsied my desire for him is nothing like it was before we married and were virgins. The ideas...

    Being more domestic

    My husband and I were privately doing our homework assigned to us during our group couples Bible study at church. This was our activity: My husband was supposed to tell me what *I* could do that would make *him* feel more loved in our relationship. And I was to take a turn telling my husband...

    Who is the Holy Spirit?

    Why are so many Christians against the idea of being baptised in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues, prophesying, seeing and operating in the Spirit, etc? There is SOOOOO much evidence of all those things in the scriptures. Jesus' ministry is stock full of it. I have a lot of trouble...
