What is the population? What is the source this website gets its statistics from? 41% includes emotional infidelity. So that counts having feelings.

When I was a kid it took the kids until they got to a certain age to figure out their parents had been lying to them, too.

I think we have people defining terms differently, creating confusion. Some people use 'Santa Claus' to refer to St. Nicholas. Others see Santa Claus as a purely mythical figure, different from St. Nicholas. Is anyone opposed to teaching church history to children?

I waited until marriage. What motivated me? I had my own convictions on it. Where did they come from? - My parents taught me not to have sex before marriage. - When I was about 12, the youth pastor went through a long and uncomfortable searies talking about the dangers of fornication...

One of the reasons that young people have sex before marriage is because they believe they can still find a good marriage partner after they do it. They may not think that, but they aren't thinking, "If I have sex, a man/woman I want to marry won't want to be with me." I spent many years in...

That is an issue. Hopefully, they closer they get to adulthood, the less likely they are to be manipulated, but teenagers are still impressionable. Where I live, 17-year-olds do not usually drive. That may be the minimum age. I'm not sure. It's not normal to see someone that young drive a...

There was a little girl whose parents, who were Christians, told her about Santa Claus giving all the children in the world presents. They also told her about Jesus. One day, they told her that Santa was just make-believe. Tearfully, she asked, "Is Jesus real?" My sister took the Santa thing...

I don't participate as much because I have other things going on, mainly. But I find the forum restrictive anyway. There is a rule against using 'the s word', pointing out what three passages of scripture advise for wives. I think we can quote the verses on that topic, and that's about it...

eZoolander, Not everyone needs to be a marriage counselor either.

I haven't been on the forum much recently, so I apologize if you have shared more backstory and i do not know about it. What are you expecting for feelings? If you had butterflies in your stomach so intensely that you couldn't eat or sleep, and you felt wonderful like some kind of drug high...

Kirk Cameron has said something like, "I'm no expert on marriage. I've only been married once." I wouldn't want to go to a marriage counselor who had a bad marriage or one who'd had failed marriages or even one failed marriage-- definitely not if the counselor had just decided to call it quits...

There is a Biblical role of pastor that we should not try to protest. But there are also many ideas associated with the word 'pastor' that are not particularly Biblical. For example, the apostles appointed elders, more than one of them, appointed from within the church in Acts 14 and Titus 1...

I'd rather live in a society where the government is not that intrusive into everyone's personal decisions, but it would be better if women opted out. A few years ago, I read that privates were being ordered to wear women's high-healed as part of some kind of campaign, probably he-for-she...

The Bible doesn't say a man is to 'die unto himself' for his wife. It says that a man is to follow the example of Christ, who gave His life for the church. The agenda of Christ laying down His life for the church was set by God. The church didn't say, "Would you die for me by wearing my pink...

My wife has gone through times when she could be rather disrespectful to me, the past. Sometimes, this coincided with pregnancy, post-partum blues, etc. I realize hormones can have an effect on some women's moods, but it seems to amplify some issues that can seem minor at other times that are...

Is 'hate speech' illegal anywhere? I know there are those who would want to make it illegal. Now threats against people's lives are a serious legal issue, which that quote would be. Living in a society where the government forces business owners to violate their consciences on the whim of...

I think you may just have to set some boundaries and stand up for yourself and for your role as the man in the home. It's best if you can do this in a way where she doesn't get upset. You can also call her on it if she is disrespectful to you. There is a theory that women who can run over...

Some gender roles are culturally defined. Here are some that Christians need to definitely keep in mind and follow in marriage: Ephesians 5 22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the...

Insightful post. I think we should consider the possibility that there could be more of certain types of crime in black communities than in the population as a whole, but also that discrimination as a part of the problem. Something else to keep in mind when it comes to a difference between...
