    Is divorce due to a lack of submission?

    Unsubmission by definition is refusal to accept the authority of a higher station. But what is the root of unsubmission? it's the belief that you are greater than that authority, or a disrespect for the authority. What was Lucifer's initial sin? Self-pride. And don't you dare give me that...

    Fitted sheets :/

    It's really easy, actually. You put the tips of your fingers in the pocket part, and match the two opposite points of the pocket together and tuck them together,fold first lengthwise then end-to-end. The effect looks like a baby's bath towel hood kind of effect over your hand. Then you can...

    Fitted sheets :/

    LOL I'm really glad you found some solutions to this! My first thoughts when I saw the thread title were a) your sheets are too small/pockets are too shallow b) the elastics have stretched/sheets have shrunk/need to be replaced c) you have them on sideways LOL d) you have poor quality sheets...

    Communication

    dallas, if he is being deliberately obtuse in his communication, there's no way you can be held responsible for misunderstanding. I applaud you for standing up to that and calling him out on that kind of mind-game playing. 'Cause that's really all it is.

    Is divorce due to a lack of submission?

    I'm going to give the OP the benefit of the doubt at this moment that the question was directed toward submission to God. But from his long history, I'm fairly confident he left it ambiguous on purpose. In evidence, his absence from the discussion once the grenade was tossed. Anyway -- it...

    LOL yeah actually it does. To be perfectly honest, I have a rather pleasant relationship with my husband (we are still legally married) right now. i'm not really "grieving" anything.

    Remarriage after Divorce

    p.progress, how about the wife of a husband who committed adultery? All these Scriptures talk on and on ad nauseum about the unfaithful wife, but what about the other way around? I'm not trying to justify my position, I really do want to know what Scripture says specifically about it.

    I am new to this thread and need some advice

    First of all, I need to be clear on what you mean by "get physical". do you mean like physically intimidating your person, pushing, grabbing, or in some way threatening your personal safety? If that's the case then you need to make certain you have a completely safe place (away from your home)...

    [Moved from Divorced or Separated] Repentance and forgiveness in divorce

    I think it's the wrong choice of words to call divorce a "sin", as much as it is simply not God's ideal for marriages. God's ideal is also for committed, faithful spouses. If you are feeling God speaking to your heart about your own situation, you need to very prayerfully and honestly consider...

    can't get financing from the bank, can't even qualify for a credit card. And I need a car, badly. I really need this roommate thing to work out somehow, and I really need a miracle something like she got.

    Remarriage after Divorce

    Thanks Faith and aroha! Faith, you've said it right there, trust is broken to that point where I will always look sideways at him. I don't have complete respect for him as a man and as a husband. ArohaB, I have asked God this very thing a hundred times. I am fairly confident I have my...

    Turning 40

    I hear ya, Brother. The year I turned 40 was one of the most turbulent of my entire life. Highest of highs, depths of the lows. I felt a lot of the same things, "here I am at 40 and what do I have to show for it?" and what I came up with nearly destroyed me.

    Remarriage after Divorce

    And if he doesn't? Moreover, he's the one who declares he loves me and wants to reconcile. He owns up to his past, and shows remorse and contrition about it. I simply have very little faith left in his love or his devotion to me when things inevitably "go bad", aka aren't to his...

    Thanks for your insight everyone, very helpful. johnNZ, great to see your name again! Rom8, we are both believers, that's not the issue. the issue is repeated adultery on my husband's part. and beyond that, it's about feeling that there's no real life back there with him. We spent too many...
