Sex.

I'm very happy in my marriage and certainly don't desire any one else's relationship. I do admit though I get jealous sometimes if it is clear another couple is having a lot more sex then we are. Strangely enough, my wife gets a little jealous too, even though she has all the power to remedy...

My wife does most of the cooking and usually serves healthy stuff, and that usually becomes lunch for me the next day. Unfortunately since she started working she cooks less frequently and the healthiness has declined some, but not to much. We almost never eat any dessert. We both work out...

I used to visit this forum when I was a conservative evangelical believer and though I am a non-believer I still visit from time to time because I enjoy reading discussions around martial issues by mature adults. It pains me to read an entry like yours, a perfect example of how religion can be...

Its nearly impossible to avoid all such entertainment. Most entertainment is not created by Christians. When I was a Fundy, I did my best to avoid it, though it was always creeping in. Now I am no longer a Christian, so such criteria no longer applies.

Of course I try to look good for my wife. Why would I not want her to find me attractive? I can only do so much, I'm not going to have killer guns or look like Brad Pitt, but whatever, my wife married me for who I was. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to try my best.

Not really. There was a notable pause and facial expression change when I first spoke of it. He asked me if I had any children (we had just had our second) and how old she was. When I mentioned she was 5 months old he made a comment that I was "in the thick of it", namely that this was the...

My wife works harder then I do raising the kids. Indeed, I always felt bad for her that I got to go off and go to work. I don't like my wife buying me expensive gifts since I know we don't have the money for it; and the more expensive the more particular I am likely to be and would want to...

I simply don't find any biblical basis against using birth control. Vasectomy is the cheapest and most effective form of birth control. It is probably also the safest, though I haven't seen any studies comparing it to long term use of birth control pills. It is also permanent, or at least...

I prefer my flower buying being a surprise. Isn't that in part what its for, a reminder that I'm thinking about you? Still, I bought flowers for my wife and made her my own note. That's something I also do all the time but that's no reason to shun this day. Still, I wish the day didn't...

I got a two litter bottle of Pepsi.

Cons, my friend, relax a bit. I think you have become a bit oversensitive on the issue and jump on every new poster as if they are directly opposing you here. Yes, it is true that woman desire sex more when their other needs are being met. That is (generalization) how most of them are wired...

I have been in quite a few churches and I have never been in one that didn't celebrate sex inside of marriage (or encourage it). But honestly, there is only so much you can talk from the pulpit on the matter so it doesn't seem to get a lot of attention. Much easier to preach about when it is...

Cards, scrabble, reading, etc Whatever low energy activities you already enjoy I suppose. My wife and I hung out at the beach a lot, in a hot tube, took naps, etc. That and lots and lots of high energy activity.

There is an well known observation known as Godwin's Law, that states "As a forum discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hilter approaches 1" In other words, if a discussion which usually morphs into a debate is carried on for long enough, eventually one side...

No, I'm not totally honest. I won't lie to an direct question persay, but that doesn't mean I am in a hurry to bring some things up. Anything major will defeintly need to be in the open, but small things are sometimes better left unsaid. Such as how I REALLY feel about how that Broccoli...

I have been married 9 years and it certainly is not chore to keep my heart in check, indeed I genuinely love my wife and desire her, emotionally and sexually. But we put some effort in to keep it that way. I constantly woe and pursue my wife, and there is a nice cycle that the more I actively...

Why would grandparents care how many children you have? I can see why those over in the childfree get pestered by grandparents about having no grandchildren but I would imagine they would think the more the merrier on the other side. Unless maybe they are living in the same house with you.

My wife puts much more of an effort in her makeup and hair when she is going out to see other people then when she is at home with me, and that is a tad annoying. Same deal with perform. Still, I have nothing to complain about. She takes care of herself, is in the gym everyday, and after 10...

My wife took my last name, I don't remember it ever being questioned much. I would very much want us to have the same last name, we are now a family, a closer family to each other then to our own parents and siblings to whom we might also share that name. Also I want my children to share our...
