I don't have children your age (I nearly am the same age as your son :) ) but I'd ask myself whether I would impose the same rules on friends who were staying over. He is your child, yes, and you brought him up with your beliefs and practices in mind. But he is now an adult, who can make his own...

I don't have experience with this myself, but have been following this blog for a while now - she is awesome about integrating her faith with addressing the RAD issues of her adopted kids: welcome to my brain . net All the best to you!

A friend of mine used to give her son a tiny amount of lactulose with his feed - check the recommendations on the bottles/containers, it should give you a recommended amount for babies. She said it worked a treat, he never was constipated again :) I'm using it now for pregnancy (sorry prob TMI)...

I'm just amazed at all your detail and planning :) But then you are/were a wedding coordinator. We pulled ours off in 9 weeks and it was low maintenance, but even looking back I wouldn't want it any other way. However, I do admit, reading your thread I do get a little jealous of some of the...

I presume you're referring to 1 Cor 11:3 (sorry i didn't read the whole thread). Cyril of Alexandria (5th Century theologian) explains the meaning of head here as source/origin, rather than authority: The word 'kephale' used here and translated as 'head' does NOT carry the meaning of 'head' as...

Has the beginning of your marriage been rocky, have you argued a lot, or has it been all romance and roses? We've been married now for four months and it has been amazing. We don't argue. I don't think we've ever argued, not because we avoid arguments but because we're both very keen to...

Hey HB :) I'm glad things are looking up a bit. When I've been reading through this thread I couldn't help but notice your signature. You have three children three and under (or near enough - one's just turned four). According to my husband (who's a doctor), the more children you have that...

It depends what you want to achieve. If you want your boy to know a few words in another language, then doing what you do is perfectly adequate and fine. However, if you want him to be proficient in both languages, the latest advice is that you speak the weaker language (ie the language NOT in...

Neither of us were virgins - my DH was married previously and I'm an adult convert to Christianity with previous significant relationships. But we waited with intercourse until we were married - we're glad we did! :)

We cuddle for a bit, and then roll over to the edges. Mainly b/c I need my space in order to fall asleep as I'm a light sleeper. Also, we have a 'german' bed, in that it's two single mattresses in a big frame, so it's to all intents and purposes two beds. That's quite good for us as there is...

I'm so sorry to hear that it's been so hard for you guys - praying that it gets better with every day and that the good memories will outshine and diminish the bad ones :prayer: I loved your last sentence - speaks of servant leadership to me. Awesome! It's good to hear how having children...

Wow I've just checked back into CF and was quite overwhelmed by all your kind responses! I've quoted below for the bits that struck me in each of your posts. Thanks so so much for taking the time to respond, I value each and every one of your viewpoints. And it makes me feel hopeful, positive...

Thanks for your replies Gracepaints and angelgirl. That gives me a bit of a flavour. I'm not expecting it to be easy (late, interrupted nights, early mornings etc. eh) but I always thought that the fact that we share something so amazing as a little person that came out of our love for each...

Thanks Leanna. Did it change your relationship? If it did, in what way? How did it make it stronger, and why?

Hi - I'm gatecrashing here, hope that's ok :cool: We've just got married and are thinking about children and timing etc. However, in the past few weeks, the only stories I have heard from people were how having children influenced their relationships for the worse. Please someone tell me...

The Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood has a very particular stance on this issue. For counterbalance, I suggest this link: CBE International: Biblical Equality 101 which has a number of articles from the 'other' side of the debate. Also, this is a good summary on the 1 Timothy...

Thanks all :) I've now had the official pics back. They're gorgeous too. Being married is great! Love it! :) :)

Cool thanks guys - will try the felt and bed away from the wall as well as the tightening of the nuts and bolts. Or rather, I will motivate my hubby to do the above - it's a heavy bed... :)

Ha! I'm already refurbishing. No need to resort to bed breaking - I know what my man likes ;) :D :D

Snooch, thanks for the thought, however, the bed is new - a couple of months old. And the mattress doesn't have any springs, it's a foam mattress, with a sprung base. It sounds like it's the wood - I need to rattle it a bit to see whether it's still doing it before I go to bed. Driving me...
