    Catholic teaching on birth control is unpopular. So why is pop culture starting to agree with it?

    I'm not sure what your question is. Women are tired of what birth control pills do to their bodies. My guess is, when the threat of pregnancy became more real due to being off 24/7 birth control, they took a second look at the potential fathers and decided it was not worth it.

    Husband kept a secret for 35 years

    I am fortunate enough to have the counsel of some very Godly, measured and wise people. I'm sure you can imagine that I can not share such details with people who know my husband.

    Husband kept a secret for 35 years

    I'm not sure what you are looking for. That would be another thread entirely. I addressed what I felt was pertinent. I'm on a Christian forum. Both of us came to Christ later in life.

    As the child of parents who did not believe in birth control: My parents had more children than they could emotionally handle. We were poor but we were fed and clothed and well educated. Emotionally, though, I'm 61 and still healing. They were overwhelmed. They had no time for themselves...

    No sex for 7 months

    I am no expert, but I can tell you two things from a woman's perspective that seem to be universal: sex drive is directly related to emotional intimacy for a woman in a monogamous relationship and early 40s is the time of both highest sex drive and highest frustration for a married woman...

    Need advice !

    I have been married 28 years. I will do my best to make this brief. I need advice - I feel I need to end my marriage for my sanity. After 28 years, I am not sure where to begin. We did not have a Christian marriage until we both came to Christ during a separation. I came to realize during...

    Meddling Mother in law or don't worry about it

    My mother in law is a very worldly person. She frets and meddles and calls it love. Think Marie Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond. One of my daughters (23 years old) is having a rough time. She just graduated from college and does not know what she is going to do next. She was dumped by...
