    What an excellent post! I thoroughly agree with this post! I too agree that your husband is being abusive in his power and actions, and you BOTH need serious help. Counseling as a couple or at least by yourself. You need to know Christ as your loving Heavenly Father, not some mean dictator...

    Whatever happened? I'm curious about an update

    R u quoting the bible on Facebook?

    I would encourage you to look at your "friends" list and see if they are truly worth having as your friends. While having extra people on your facebook is not a bad thing, maybe it's time to clean house. Sharing your faith is awesome, but as other people shared, the gospel is considered...

    to those who married a non-believer - was it better than singleness?

    I think the heart of the matter is you want to do what the Bible says is wrong, and you'd like someone to give you a free pass or a twisting version of Scripture to soothe your conscience. So it really boils down to a choice. Are you going to obey Scripture and not be unequally yoked together...

    In need of advice....

    Wonderful news!!! I'm thrilled to hear that you are getting additional help and some lines of communication are still open. So Don't give up, remember that God is still in control even though you may not see it right now. And remember the words of Psalms 27:13-14. "I had fainted, unless I had...

    God Is our source

    Amen to this! Just like the kids' song, "My God is so BIG"! It's time to start telling others that God is bigger than my problems

    Calling from work: What's excessive?

    Just a thought, you can try a cordless phone or even purchase a hands-free headset that works with landlines. But as the other posters suggested, honesty is always the best policy. I would encourage you to speak openly to him about the subject. It's great that he wants to talk with you on...

    Smartphone ruining marriage

    Have you thought of spending time with her, and ask the time to be cell-phone free? Maybe she is lonely. Maybe she has a lot of stress 'on her plate' and this is the way she deals with the stress. Yelling and fussing are not going to help or change anything. Neither will force changing the...

    Ah. Now I understand.

    Good for you for figuring it out! At least now you know where he is coming from, and this will help you move forward in the future.

    In need of advice....

    Yes, it is a predicament, because you're not free and clear yet. By the law, you're still married. So if you're still "technically" married, then you have no business flirting and chatting with another woman. I find it interesting that the question you posted on the beginning of the forum...

    I want a baby...

    Great comment!!!! I would also encourage BOTH of you going to be tested. So often people think it's just the woman who can't get pregnant. But that's not the case all of the time. The man is JUST AS IMPORTANT in the pregnancy process as the woman, because you can't have a baby without a...

    Love and Intimacy

    Don't give up. So many marriages start like a Disney fairy tale, but then we wonder where our happily every after went. Remember, what makes a marriage is what keeps the marriage. The dating, the courting, giving of gifts, but most importantly TALKING! No not the talking about who takes out...

    Trouble having sex first time

    Hey great, great question! Thank you for your bravery in asking. I was very relieved to read that when you are able to relax that the pain does go away. So let's focus on just that. Relaxation. Comfort. Cuddling. Remember, just because you want to have sexual intercourse, doesn't always...

    Prayer for my marriage

    While this may seem odd, I would encourage you to watch the movie Fireproof. I applaud you for realizing that your marriage is in trouble and asking for prayer is a great start. But it's just that, it's a start. The Lord does work miracles in marriage and He alone can save them, but it is...

    "Alternate" Sex

    Very good answer! When hygeine, care, and mutual consent are involved, then the body can be enjoyed to it's fullest! I love how Song of Solomon and the beautiful imagery is mentioned. This is not a quick kiss or peck on the cheek, but over-the-top screaming "YES! YES! YES!" passionate sex. I...
