    Anyone having a hard time?

    who's the author? I haven't heard of this book before- are you still enjoying it Jen? Is it a good book to read before starting out or is it better for if you've been there for awhile?

    new job

    Thanks ladies! I'm looking forward to it, but I know it will be a big adjustment, too. I am trying to decide how much I want to be involved- with his work especially (youth group, etc.) It would be nice to both be participating in stuff together, especially because I won't be involved in much...

    new job

    My husband got his first ministry job this past week! He starts in a month. It's part time, but that works well since he has a couple more courses to complete for his degree. The church is about an hour away from our place, so it will involve lots of driving. :( He's going to be the youth and...

    Group Daily Bible Study

    I don't get online very often, and not consistently. I think daily reading is good, but it seems like many of us could not regularly come online to participate. Perhaps there could be a weekly question/discussion thread where a major topic from the week's reading could be discussed? I'm...

    Prayer Request

    Sorry to hear you've had such a rough week. I hope the weekend goes ok for you. I know commitments can feel uncomfortable at times. Is there a day this coming week that you guys can take to just be at home and sort though your own emotions? Praying for you guys! :hug:

    Do all Ministers Fall?

    Wow, sorry to hear about all your rotten church experiences! That sounds like way too many weird things going on for one person to experience. I have only encountered one person in leadership who was gay, but when the church found out she was removed from her position because she was living with...

    Footwashing

    I wasn't at the wedding, but my friend told me of a wedding where the bride and groom washed each others feet (the rest of the congregation didn't) They did it to show that they are equal partners in their marriage. They also had a plant that they planted, and then each guest added a handful...

    Wedding Scents

    Neither of us wear a scent normally, and so neither of us did for our wedding either. I did make sure I wore my pretty-smelling deodorant though! (rather than unscented)

    how long does it take

    There are a lot of variables in planning a wedding. An elaborate wedding is going to take more time than a simple one. A summer wedding will take longer than an off season one, due to venues being booked far in advance. It also depends how particular you are about things, and how much time...

    If your SO gained or lost 20 pounds...

    He's trying to lose weight right now, so gaining would be worse for his self esteem. Attraction-wise, I don't think either would make a huge difference to me.

    Can't stand the criticism

    Sorry to hear you're having such a tough time :( I'm just new at this pw thing (my husband is just finishing school, and is currently looking for a church), so I don't have any advice... just wanted to let you know we're here to listen!
