    Pray for this Sinner

    Been away a long time. Guess you could say I'm a backslider. Please pray for my return and obedience.

    I totally agree. She won't go to counseling. She thinks I'm the only one with a problem here - so I'm going to counseling alone. Ever since she obtained a certain "BFF" girlfriend, she's been acting like an 18 year old - thus the disparity with the length of our marriage.

    Oh, I am most certainly not the model husband. I've messed up big time. I had some issues, but not infidelity, drinking, or flirting (I don't even know how to flirt). For the first 21 years of our marriage, I was on a short leash. I was not allowed in bars - drinking or not, I was not...

    Facebook and Marriage

    Well, I just found out she set up her own separate email account. I know that's a red flag in many cases, but she's not behaving any differently with me - still as affectionate as always (which wasn't much, but no change...). She expressed that she hates when I look at OUR email account (she...

    Yes, unfortunately, I'm the only one with anxiety. She's effectively drugged up with anti-depressants, alcohol, and marijuana to be ok with almost anything - EXCEPT for understanding MY anxiety.

    Thank you for the prayers and thanks for the advice. I'll give it a shot the next time I get a suitable opportunity. Yes, we've already been over what if I did the same thing. She goes so far as to suggest I go friend some old girlfriends. I believe she just wants to give me this freedom so...

    When we were first together, I had a very difficult time with her past. I eventually got over it by convincing myself that it didn't matter. She picked me. This was before we were Christians, also. Then several things have happened. 1. She convinced me that my ex-wife was cheating on me...

    Facebook and Marriage

    My wife accepted a friend request from an old highschool boyfriend (her first sexual experience and they had marriage plans but he dumped her). She and I have been married 23 years and I think she's going through a mid-life crisis. She's also not been close to God for quite a while and drinks...

    Wife Thinks God Doesn't Love Her Because He Let Our Dog Die..

    Well, she brought home a new puppy yesterday and all is well, it seems. However, her initial reaction revealed some troubling spiritual issues that concern me. However, her anger is a part of the grieving process and since the dogs death was pretty natural (looks like a pulmonary embolism)...

    Wife Thinks God Doesn't Love Her Because He Let Our Dog Die..

    What a great message! I don't think it helped my wife. Her exact words were, "So what? Logan is more [spiritually] mature than me."

    Wife Thinks God Doesn't Love Her Because He Let Our Dog Die..

    What do I do? What do I tell her? She thinks if God cared about her feelings, He would have shown his love or provided something to ease her pain. Please help.

    How old is the earth? You tell me.

    Answer: It doesn't matter. Who came to believe in the Lord based on their knowledge of the truth about the age of the earth? This earth-age argument is an attempt by Christians to keep from being made to look like fools by science - or to make scientists to look like fools. It is a never...
