    Shall i send divorce papers?

    Hi, I have been separated from my husband for about 14 months now. We had been married for 18 months. About 8 months into our marriage he told me that he didn't love me and that he didn't believe in God anymore. He no longer wanted to go to church or see any of our friends from church (still...

    Why did Jesus have to die?

    Hi all, I know that this is perhaps a silly question to some, but it is something I have trouble answering for myself and others. I should point out that I do believe in Jesus. However, sometimes I wonder why Jesus had to die. I mean, why couldn't God just forgive people straight away? Why...

    Devastated my husband left me

    So, I've been kinda ok lately. My counsellor has helped me to realise that all the time during my marriage when I as angry it was because my husband wasn't behaving like a husband. He stopped believing in God, which was fundamental to me. He preferred to go out with his work mates and wouldn't...

    Anyone else hating christmas?

    I know that its terrible, I'm just having a really bad Christmas this year. And its pretty darn hard to remember the true meaning of Christmas. I just feel like downing a whole lot of something and passing out... Or running away somewhere far far away.

    Devastated my husband left me

    I must say that I hate Christmas this year! I am supposed to be happily married with my husband. And its not fun spending Christmas with family at the moment. Especially when my sister is horrible and says that I'm just awful because I despise people with children. She has no idea what I'm going...

    Devastated my husband left me

    Hi everyone, lately I've been having some problems with anger. I'm just so so so very angry with him. And I get angry with other things and other people over such small things. And I'm finding it really hard. I know that I still love him, and I would still take him back. But, I am so angry and...

    Devastated my husband left me

    But would a good Christian man really want a divorced Christian to be his wife?

    Hi everyone, thanks for all your encouragement. I'm having a bad day today. I just feel a bit out of it and tired. I just really miss my husband today!!! Lately I've been thinking how huge it is to marry someone and love them and want to spend the rest of your life with them and then CHOOSE to...

    The case for NOT getting married

    I must say that this entire post puts forth a very bad image of what being a Christian really means. There is hardly anything positive or encouraging coming out of this thread. There is not much more than complaining. Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, but please don't act as if it is fact...

    The case for NOT getting married

    Well, I'm married and I believe that the wedding ceremony is not just for the female, but is for both the male and female to celebrate their love and union. An engagement ring, though not necessary is a wonderful symbol of love and commitment. I competely agree in equality and compromise within...

    suggestions for good christian bands

    Hi, I would really like to buy some Christian music for myself. However, I'm not really familiar with many of the bands out there. Can anyone offer any good suggestions of cds I could buy. I know that I like Seabird and Kutless, but that is about the only bands I know. I also want to avoid songs...

    Not sure how to cope

    Hi, I just came across your post. I know that this is a really late reply and you may not read it. But I'm really sorry about the loss of your friends. I understand a little about what you're going through. I had a friend commit suicide when I was in high school and I remember walking around...
