This is so amazingly worded David. This is exactly what happened in my and my husbands life too! The truth that set me free was: the moment you become a believer and have Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you become a new creation. So when you feel lust or temptation it's not you, it's the enemy...

Amen to what you said about forgiveness and communication. Good communication is key in a marriage. Edited to add: I also think that many people underestimate how important forgiveness is in a marriage. You are both human and both will fail and make mistakes. I had this idea where I thought my...

I've also heard a couple of prophesies on him. And yes, only time will tell. Sadly you're right that so many self professing christians think they have to say a prayer and they'll go to heaven. While we are to deny our flesh, pick up our cross and follow Jesus. Saying the "right" prayers...

These numbers are for kids being trafficked. I agree with you that there are citizens in the US that are utterly given over to wickedness, just like there are people like this all over the world. Sadly this is not a US-only problem. But I completely disagree with you on this: "Which means its...

I am a woman who had struggled with inappropriate content addiction on and off for 10 years since I was 10 years old. I heard kids at school talking about it for months before I first looked it up out of curiosity. It really changes (damanges) your brain. I have been free for a couple of years now and God has...

I hate abortion with all that I am. And I cannot imagine the pain and hurt a baby is feeling seconds before he or she is killed so cruely in the one place they are suposed to be the safest, their mother's womb. But that does not make child sex trafficking any less evil and horrible. According...

Thank you for your book recommendation. I'm going to speak to my husband and see if we'll e-mail him. :)

Your parents are so right! We've implemented that too and have had a night that we went to bed at 2am, but the fruit of solving issues and discussing things is so good. And it really helps bring both spouses closer together. And I am so happy to read that you also have a great support system! It...

I do hope you understand that many illegals going to the US, are trafficking kids that are not theirs to sell into human sex trafficking rings. The same is happening here in Europe. Thousands of illegal kids "just vanished". It's horrible to think what has happened to these innocent kids.

That's so awesome that you've got such a great support system! And you're right, keeing God first and talking things through is so important. Keeping each other as a priority helps so much.

Haha you should've seenmy face when I read the part about the prenup. But that is the best advice anyone could have given you. It took us about 2-3 years to figure out what that looks like. But when we started to live that out in our marriage things started to drastically shift. Jesus is always...

May I ask why you say that? We were brought up in a culture where it was always said to us from a young age that if you had a problem, it was nobody's business but yours. We always had to put our best foot foreward and act like everything was perfect, even if we were almost falling appart. And...

Amen to all of what you said! The person who married us gave us a two hour "course" on marriage. He talked a lot about what the Bible says about marriage but we didn't get any practical tools to deal with the adjustment of marriage. I think he truely believes he is giving counseling, but I...

That's a good one. Time together is a vital part of building a strong marriage. Did you learn helpful tools at your pre-marital counseling that you feel really helped you in your marriage? And how I wished I knew about NFP when we got married. I was on the pill first and then had a hormonal IUD...

Hahaha you're so right about the garlic! I always thought that was a myth until my husband ate something with a lot of garlic one night and I could barely give him a kiss the next day. And I'm sorry your wife is dealing with depression. It's so hard. I hope that together with God, she'll find...
