    Husband lies, sneaks around

    LiviB85, this is rough! Lots of work ahead of you, but it can be done! First you need to take care of your physical self, without your health and life, the emotional and marriage work can't get done. When that is done, start to work on the emotional aspects to regain your full health, and then...

    When your spouse is a big fat liar

    I have been supporting a friend through her discoveries about her husband keeping things from her, and telling lies to hide these things. I think these causes below are common in a lot of lying behavior: There are three common denominators: fear, arrogance, and selfishness. Fear says, I...

    Carrying concealed while jogging?

    Does anyone carry concealed while jogging? If so how, and what? I'm thinking a fanny pack, but would like some input before investing. Thanks!

    Dave Ramsey's Financial Ministries

    Crown ministries has a lot of great tools! Larry Burkett merged into Crown. His books gave me the first clue that getting knowledge, and a Godly perspective about money gives you peace and power to live

    Dave Ramsey's Financial Ministries

    We just started DR. Tomorrow is our third class. I know the cash envelopes won't work for us, but the rest is looking applicable. Just getting on the same page and having a common ground to work from as a couple, will be invaluable. When you first get married, you may not even realize how...

    Alcohol use and your beliefs

    I havent seen anything in the Bible about abstaining from drinking. As with anything you are given, the task is not to sin. Whether its your looks, brains, money, or taking a drink. None of these should cause sin, but several verses advise that these gifts can be misused.

    The traffic stop.....

    There will always be idiots. And smart people that do not have the confidence and/or enough knowledge to be safe around a gun. A gun can be loaded, sit on a coffee table for 500 years and nothing, nothing at all, will happen, until ignorance and/or stupidity housed in a person walks in the...

    Open Carry

    I won't argue with that. Culturally, I think we are a long way from going back to the wild west days. Did it traumatize anyone to know that everyone wore a gun? It would be fun to have a magic wand and put a holstered gun on everyone for a day that they couldn't take off. A lot of irrational...

    The traffic stop.....

    It's time to agree to disagree. Let me have my freedoms. When a psychotic person, they still exist because they aren't yet outlawed, opens fire in a McDonalds, you very well might be saved by someone like me exercising my freedom. :-)

    I need to know more about why the major religions don't value girls/women

    IMO, and from my readings in the Bible, women have equal value in God's eyes and heart. Culturally, there are still a lot of stupid things around women, but I have to agree with Lilli, we get the pedestal most of the time in society. I was on another forum and the OP was "Do women still wear...

    Open Carry

    Open carry seems to me like strutting around and daring others to challenge your toughness. I'm sure that's not always the intent, but that'd be my first reaction. Like the bumper stickers that read, "Insured by Glock". Why the announcement? I carry concealed, but consider it private and a...

    Knives in front yard

    I've never heard of such a thing! I hope peace comes very soon to you and your home.

    The traffic stop.....

    Anyhela, wow, 50 years and never pulled over! That is amazing! As to having a gun rolling under the seat of your car, that sounds dangerous, and inefficient. Holstered, even in a specially made purse holster, is safer, and keeps you conscious of the guns whereabouts, which is the responsible...

    I need to know more about why the major religions don't value girls/women

    I'd have to ask in what way are you looking to have equality? I believe God made us different, very different. God shows His value of women over and over again in the Bible. The stories of Jesus have many interactions with women. His actions were an example that broke down barriers, as He did...

    Is she having an emotional affair?

    I know God hates divorce. That said, I don't believe He asks that you have to trust someone, especially when they've broken it, repeatedly. Let her know she is free to go. She needs to know that you have needs of emotional security, the honest, open, reputation of fidelity, and whatever else...

    Is she having an emotional affair?

    Of course, the technology isn't the cause. It still comes down to the heart. The technology just starts the premise of separateness that was at least harder to do in the past. It's like running a stop sign in the middle of nowhere versus running one in the city by the police station. On the...

    Is she having an emotional affair?

    Someone is always really "free" to go. The marriage has problems. The decision is, to leave, or to stay and work through the issues. IMO, both parties have to agree there are issues and both parties have to agree to work through them. If your wife feels free away from you and needs secret...

    Favorite Romantic Movie Star Pairing

    Sorry, didn't see that it had to be at least two movies. There are several that may do more than one together, but they'd never be a favorite. Like Clint Eastwood and Sandra Locke. I do like Sandra Bullock and Keenu Reeves. The Lake House Is a favorite. It's a fun thread, and keeping us...
