Isn't teaching your child well, and setting an example by caring for your wife spreading the gospel? I mean, your child will see your Christ-like compassion for your spouse, and I'm sure you will be teaching your child the gospel... Your child will leave home and enter into the world, bringing...

My last job was in HR. I grew to HATE how surpressed my faith was. We were discouraged (but not prohibited) even from wearing small crosses. I worked for a secular charity which employed and served people from many backgrounds, so on top of being in HR (which is a poker face kind of industry...

Saved or not, ANY man you date should accept and respect (without whining or complaining) a few things about you, including sexual abstinence, desire to pursue God's will, and involvement in Christian activities such as any youth groups or church functions that you participate in. Whether...

It's fine. Probably had as much alcohol left over as a dose of Robitussin! Perhaps kids wouldn't be so picky if more of us cooked things that actually have flavor! I'm sure it's different here, I live in upstate NY in a rural town where everyone works and nobody cooks, and it seems like all I...

My husband decided he just didn't like it so he is going to return it. Consequently, I didn't have to get involved in making any decisions about it :) ... God is good! I'm a little sad because I was kind of looking forward to having something we could play with together... but unfortunately...

God's work is not always paid work, a job that you punch in and out of to make money... He has many more purposes for many of us than that. For instance, I worked as an HR professional, hardcore career woman, never planned on leaving. Worked full time and studied full time all through college...

Thanks for the help! A variety of opinions, as I anticipated. We are already planning to keep it for the weekend, rent a few games, and decide if we like it. Ultimately, I will be letting my husband make the decision on this one. He has wanted one for awhile, and if he enjoys it, I would rather...

I too suffer from anxiety; and I too grew overly comfortable with a job I was miserable in. Finally got the courage to look for something else; lost the courage after I found out I was pregnant, and canceled all my interviews. Decided job security was better. You know what happened? I lost my...

When you have God, eventually everything starts to remind you of His love. I used to listen to a lot of techno when I was a drug addict, and a lot of straight bad rock when I was recovering and for many years afterwards. That was all years before I got saved. I still enjoy a lot of the music...

I'm confused. She didn't want to be pregnant so she ran away with the baby to her home country to be a single mom? Why is he right away seeking a relationship from another country? There is clearly nothing wrong with dating/marrying someone from outside your own country, but I'm from NY too...

I, too, probably would have picked a Wii for its more family-friendly approach. However, the Wii is kind of girly, and a little lacking in the kind of sports games that he likes to play. He has talked about returning it for a Wii, but I would like to see him have something that he can play with...

Thanks for the reply. Since our son is due in March, we have a very long time before we have to worry about parental controls. We don't watch violent movies or play inappropriate video games because we feel it is not conducive to our own walk. I am interested to know how you set boundaries...

I was initially a little upset to learn that my husband had bought an Xbox... not so much that he brought it into our home, but that he'd made such a large purchase without consulting me! I was also worried about the distraction from our family. We are newlyweds, expecting our first baby in 2...

I know, but he will not go to counseling and he will not see a doctor about his other problems. He thinks nothing is wrong. He thinks that his family's overreacting, everyone he works with is a jerk, his friends just aren't interested anymore, and that he has the right to treat me like that...

"I am very dark, but lovely..." Song of Songs 1:5 The woman is speaking of her skin, tanned from working in the fields. Solomon's other wives were protected from the sun from life in the palace and had completely different complexions. In that time, being dark from working often caused...

It's because they are imperfect humans incapable of behaving like Christ; like you, like me.

We are blessed financially. We have to replace a vehicle which is a strain, but we can pay our bills. We are saving money and rent a home big enough for our family. I earn slightly more which he thinks is unacceptable, and he thinks I earn more money than I do. I am definitely more frugal and...

When I married, one of the things that I loved most about my husband is that he was so sweet and made me feel like the most special woman in the world. Flash forward to now, my husband is the meanest person I know. Instead of coming home and giving me a kiss, he starts yelling at me before he's...

Thanks again for all your help. God bless you all! I think it's just hard to get used to it all. I knew that adjusting to marriage would be hard, especially since my husband and I have each lived alone for many years, and are both quite stubborn. Having someone else in my home, my bed, and my...

Sorry to bring this up again so late. I work a lot and only have the opportunity to use the computer a couple times a week. I appreciate everyone's advice, but the biggest problem facing us and the source of almost all our strife is that I don't want the baby. At all. That's why I was using 2...
