He shouldn't...but he does. Please pray for me. I wonder if I will ever understand what is expected of me as a Christian...

I thought it was against scripture...and it has caused me great angst....because my husband completely ignores my "no". He has done it to me twice and I feel completely violated....and unclean and unacceptable. Leviticus 19Also you shall not have intercourse with a woman during her...

Reading your posts makes me soooo sad. My husband finds reason to be angry with me and criticize me every single day (23 yrs). It started 5 years ago.....the stress got to him and he said he would n ot be invested in this marriage anymore and that he didnot want the emotional connection or...

Thank you. I am so exhausted from my marriage. I am finding it difficult to leave it with God and stop working on it, focusing on it and trying to figure it out. I am so willing, I am in the way. If that makes sense.....

Even if you wanted to set up a time line for healing and recovery....you couldn't. The most painful part of growing is accepting the reality of the consequences of our actions and accepting that we have no control in the outcome. But there is so much hope because Christ is in you. Grace for...

The worst is that middle of a sentence loss of train of thought when you have something great to say and then

There are two men at work who continually speak too closely to everyone. Its rather funny to watch when its not happening to YOU..lol But it can be so very annoying. Yes, we've told them. The one guy does it all the more and the other seriously just doesn't get it.

Can I name more than one? lol I have GUMBY! Because he's made of clay too...but he's always smiling about it. I have a chicken...to remind me its all about the pecking order. and I have a small sign that reads...."I used to be disgusted, now I am just amused...."

from dictionary.com...the definition of humility: a prominent Christian grace (Rom. 12:3; 15:17, 18; 1 Cor. 3:5-7; 2 Cor. 3:5; Phil. 4:11-13). It is a state of mind well pleasing to God (1 Pet. 3:4); it preserves the soul in tranquillity (Ps. 69:32, 33), and makes us patient under trials (Job...

"In other words, I'm only focused on changing how I react to him in the hopes that he will understand I deserve respect and will not be bullied or ignored......" I took this sentence out of your post...because it is still about him. Dear, I have been there. I need to change me so I can be...

I have actually been the one guilty of bringing in unwanted guests. Well we agreed in the beginning but because I dont set limits very well, they stayed way TOO long. I agree...the one who should be tiptoeing around should be THEM. People who stay longer than a couple of days become family...

Finding out we are not the center of the universe is just part of growing up....we all still have that child within that we need to take care of.....now that you are an adult you can find ways to honor the child in you (have some fun, give yourself a break)...but the truth is you are not...

I am worried that you need to "stand up for yourself". If that means that you are in an abusive situation (or are afraid), please get some help. If it means that you have stopped taking care of yourelf, we all get caught to some degree. We live in a busy fast moving society and marriage...

We all need fellowship with other Christians. I am sure my husband considers it a blessing that I work out some of my mom stuff and woman stuff (as he calls it) with my girlfriends. Be open to opportunities and pray about it, God will put people in your path. God Bless.... Lynne

Prayers to you and your family. It is okay to set a limit and say this is dangerous and not permitted in this house.... you have children and there is a reason it is "adult" material. Beyond that, I would call a Christian counselor and I would pray over my house and get some of my prayer...
