Thank you for your words Faithfulwife. I am very aware of my own shortcomings & I try hard to keep my eyes on the Lord & take my vows seriously. It isn't always easy for me, but I try. The hardest thing is my mind & the thoughts that fly in my head, but I have been learning to dismiss the...

Looking for info. from people who have preferably been married more then 15 years, others can answer too. It seems most couples eventually get bored with each other or should I say the excitement kinda goes out the door. I receive quite a lot of attention from males & I try very hard...

Yes, I have this pretty continously..... & I'm married with 4 kids!! I even had a guys ask me out after he knew all this, I laughed when I told my friend, I said well I guess you have to give him some credit for still asking with 4 kids!! Actually it really bothers me at my work, where I only...

Ok, so the situation is my mother who I have not gotten along with very well my whole life, her leaving when I was 4 years old. Well she left my Dad when I was 4, got remarried to another man for 26 years, they have now divorced & she is now living with another man. All the while saying she is...

Yes, I would say he needs accountability. Have you received any help/counseling for what your marriage went through? It is important to get an outside person involved, wheather a pastor/counselor , someone. I would not put up with this behaviour at all. If he doesn't have any limits it...

A book you should run out & get is "Every Womens Battle" It will help you understand what your dealing with & also help you set up some boudaries for the future. However I think you should be aware that is pretty possible it could happen again if you don't take the steps to prevent it...

Dingo - That is so wonderful to hear!! I'm so glad you talked it out. I would still take the advice given on here & work on some things. Find out each others needs & work on them, trust me it will benefit your marriage greatly. It sounds like you have a special marriage, & to keep it that way...

Things have changed since we were dating before the kids, lol. We use to go out to eat alot , roller skating, long hikes, auctions, etc. But we still enjoy doing things together, some of the same: hiking, trying new things, playing games, sitting outside by a fire, going out to eat &...

YEs, I think after you are married for awhile you become very use to each other. We don't talk to badly to each other, once in awhile a little rude. One of the things that helped me was to think about if I would talk to my best friend like that? I thought no, I wouldn't. Then I thought about how...

A.Dingo - The tongue is a terrible weapon that can cause harm. Alot of times when a womens needs are not being met they can think of another man. She might be trying to get your attention even though she is not going about it in the right way. I would try to get to the root of the problem...

Be direct & tell her you are not interested. If she isn't getting the idea by anything you are doing, you need to tell her directly & to the point. She is the one who is in the wrong here, so you should not feel bad about protecting your marriage. I have had this happen to many times with...

Yes, I agree with some of the others & run. You will end up in a place you don't want to be if you keep allowing this man to pay you compliments & attention. It is easy & flattering to us women to have guys like this around, I have had this problem more then I would like, however the truth of...

Actually my birthday is next week & Last night hubby got tickets to a concert to see Toby Mac, Jeremy Camp, & Matthew West. It was awesome & we got to spend time together!!! Another special one I remember is when he decorated the house like we were on an island, he had ocean music on...

I think it is because alot of married couples after they have been together for a long time don't put in the hard work it takes to make a marriage great, they don't want to work that hard. It is easier to just get a divorce if they are unhappy rather then working on something that can be really...

I can say that it took awhile, it was a process for me. But looking back over all God has done for us & the rough times he has brought us through, God has me with the right person & I am happy. There will always be ups & downs, & I had to learn that love is just not a feeling it is a commitment. Ari

How about counseling? Would she go with you/or perhaps you need to tell her that you both need to sit down & work out some compromises because you can't live like this anymore. Would she be willing to do that? Or perhaps involve a 3rd party like a close friend to help with the compromise...

So what have you done to make it better?

When we first married my husband was awful at the money thing, he would take money out with his atm card & never write it down, then when the bank statement came things were all messed up, so I took the cards & cut them all up. We then went to a system where the money each week was put in...

Some great things to do would be to make a coupon book for your husband, surprise him with a bubble bath or a massage, or a great dinner or favorite dessert. A picture of the 2 of you to put in a frame or in a homemade card. Or get a little jar or container & write different...
