    Young Marriages

    I believe christians are marrying young nowadays for sexual reasons. They want to go "all the way" with their significant other but feel they can't until they get married, but many non-christians believe it's ok to live with someone before getting married and then they feel there's no reason to...

    What show cracks you up everytime you watch it?

    I would have to say Home Improvement. I get a kick out of Tim always going to Wilson for help and then messing up all the advice.

    My husband is abusive:

    I am in the same type of situation as some of you may know from my other post. Little One, do leave now before there are kids. It's harder to leave when you have kids because you feel those children need their father. My husband is a good father, but he wants to treat me like one of the...

    Male Submission in marriage?

    Hello I'm back again. Was on vacation and then this past week has been hectic. But I'm struggling with the submission still. My husband is very dominant in our relationship and his need for control has caused many problems. We had a very big argument this past weekend, but it has actually...

    Gas Prices Protest needed. Stop buying gas on May 19

    I received this email also and explained it to my hubby and he actually said it wouldn't do any good because we'd have to buy gas the next day anyway, so if we all stopped for that one day, imagine how much business they'll get the day afterwards...this is his opinion, but he stated we'd be...

    This is not a "debate" question, but I'm hoping some of you can help me understand something about ordinances.

    I have been apart of 4 different religions, but I was raised Lutheran and now attend a Baptist church. The Baptist church I attend is very charismatic-almost borderline pentecostal and I've seen numerous water baptisms in the past few months, but we have only had communion once in the past few...

    For all those with children...

    I was 20 when I got married and a month before my 22nd birthday I had my son and then I just had my daughter 4 months ago(3 weeks before my 24th birthday). I love my children to death, but think we should've waited until we had a better marriage foundation. My husband is a good father and says...

    Male Submission in marriage?

    Yes, I have told him, but he says, that's how he is and he said that I knew he was that way when I married him and so I have to deal with it or leave. He says he's going to try to control his temper better, which he does sometimes, but as for telling me what to do, that's just the way he is, I...

    Male Submission in marriage?

    He understands he needs to love me, but he feels he does love me....it's just he feels I need to be punished if I do something wrong. I know he has taken the Ephesians verse out of context, I just have to get the courage to go to counseling. His parents even have seen the way he treats me and...

    My 2 year old just started throwing fits right after his second birthday...he was the sweetest boy before then and all of a sudden he started throwing these aweful tantrums.

    Male Submission in marriage?

    Submission comes up a lot in arguments between my husband and I..submission isn't the topic we argue about...it's when I do someting wrong and then my husband states, I need to always obey him because he is the head of the house. Ok now I agree that women are supposed to submit to their...

    Need some help here people

    I feel like those "Sunday only" Christians at times, and now I'm beginning to thank God all the time and pray more often and think about my actions. There have been weeks where I just went to church on Sunday, listened to my Christian music during the week and prayed at night before bed, but...

    Gas Prices

    Well, my vehicle is a gas hog as well, but I have no choice to drive it. It was given to us and I'm grateful for the gift because we didn't have to pay anything for it, but it's an '87 V6 minivan and has very poor gas mileage. Yes I agree that if you can afford to buy an SUV, then you can...

    How did you end up unequally yoked?

    I actually went into my marriage thinking it would be a God centered marriage. Before we were married, all my husband talked about was wanting to marry a good christian woman and become a missionary later on and I felt that was what God was calling me to do, but at the same time, my husband and...
