Being "self-centered" is the heart of all your problems. 1 Corinthians 13 tells us exactly what love is. It is not putting self first. It is knowing that as long as you both shall live, your spouse comes first. The order is God, spouse, kids (if you have them), self. I am and have been a very...

Being "in love" is a fleeting emotion. Love is not an emotion, it's an action. I was married to a wonderful man for almost 21 years until God took him home. I can say that I stopped being "in love" with him very early on in our relationship...when I realized that I loved him. It was an action...

Almost 19 months into this widowhood journey now. I wear his ring and mine still. I started wearing his ring when he lost so much weight from the cancer that he was afraid it would just slide off. I tried taking them off but I felt naked...so they're back on. I have no desire to date or find...

I strongly suggest you find a Celebrate Recovery group in your area. Working the steps and associating with others who are struggling, or have struggled is so helpful. I have been a part of this for quite some time, and have found much freedom and have strengthened my faith through it. Google...

My parents rarely yelled...my mom would growl...she'd get REAL quiet and overenunciate every word. Us kids knew we were on her last nerve then. My dad would use his "giving orders" voice.

I got tossed out of a church for singing "better" than the worship leader. Seriously not kidding.

That's a generality you can't defend. If you take a good look at history, women worked whether in the home or out of it from time immemorial. The only ones who could afford to stay home were the upper classes. The phenomenon of the "stay at home wife" only became widespread after WW2, when even...

Desire...sexually, etc. And yes, I'd be outta there so fast his head would spin. I would find a good divorce lawyer and get gone. I have no compunction about divorce. Marriage is a covenant. If he's not holding up his end, then there's no more covenant or contract. It's been broken...and it's...

I'd want out too if my husband didn't desire me. However, the OP seems rather shallow, honestly. He KNEW she was not large breasted when they dated and married. Why did he marry her then? Regarding the opposite...a not well endowed man usually knows enough other techniques to satisfy his wife...

My whole family has no fear of confrontation. We yell, argue, fuss and fight and an hour later we're all laughing. We get it out in the open, resolve it and get over it. Unfortunately, that seems to be quite rare. You and your wife obviously have some issues trying to deal with conflict. Just...

I have friends who are fairly well known in a few fields including entertainment and professional sports. Can't say I "worship" any of them. Enjoy hanging out with them? Yup. Glad they're my friends? Yup! Worship them? Not a chance...not to mention that they'd laugh in my face if I said that...

That show makes a mockery of marriage. Arranged marriages only "work" because of the cultural and societal pressure to make them "work". There is no way I'd marry someone I met at the altar. My beloved and I were together for over a year before we decided to get married. Even then, our marriage...

I had a maid service for years. Now that I'm alone, I make attempts to clean house. But, with a yard that's currently mostly dirt (going to be landscaped this spring), a house full of critters, and although I'm technically "retired", I still teach part time and do consulting work, housework...

I don't know when "your day" was but in the 60's and 70's my dad did 90% of the kid chauffeuring, cooked and cleaned when necessary, did laundry, took care of his own uniforms (my dad was AD USAF), took us to doctor's/dentist appointments, knew our sports/activity schedules better than my mom...

Please go find a song named "The Grand Illusion" by Styx on YouTube. It's all about how the things in magazines, movies, social media is FAKE. That is SO not reality. RPD

I am a woman and the reason I am not pleased with the OP is he is a callow, shallow jerk. To make that big an issue over boobs is juvenile. ED is not his problem, his problem is that he's found a reason to not "love" his wife. He's "not turned on" by something he knew full well before they...

What a cop out. If that were true, I'd never get out of bed because I don't feel like it. I'd never clean my house because I don't feel like it. That is without a doubt the lamest excuse in the book and one I'd expect from a teenager. If you KNEW her breasts were "too small" why on earth did...

"Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary". Actions speak MUCH louder than words. The folks I've been blessed to lead to Christ got curious about my faith AFTER they watched me. My actions, how I lived out my beliefs. I was shocked by one occasion...we were moving and I didn't...

I'm not even close...and I know that. However, again, like everything else...I can choose to wallow in the pity pit, hiss, spit, fuss and cuss and cry "woe is me" OR I can haul my decrepit backside out of bed, find joy in the livestock that swear they're going to starve to death, and tell me...

Here's why I think you're shallow and essentially not a nice guy. I was married for over 20 years. I married later in life, I was already over 30. In those 20 years, my weight fluctuated by about 75 pounds. I was slender, I was large. I lost weight and skin started to sag. I gained the weight...
