Is it considered instrusive or overstepping boundaries when parents try to control and dictate what sort of birth control if any to use in their children's upcoming marriage? I've told my mum several times that I would make a decision along with my husband to be and it's something I would...

I'm quite stressed out about my wedding preparation and it's taking a slight toll on my emotional and physical health (I've had less than 3 months to plan the wedding but we are discarding a lot of unnecessary details + simplifying things). My fiance and I have decided on a budget (8k) and we...

Hi everyone, I'm soon to be married in a few weeks time. Of course I'm excited/happy but at the same time, it is getting quite stressful and busy because we had a short engagement (so wedding planning and renovating the house at the same time). My question is whether this is worth something to...

I'm conflicted as to what to feel or approach this situation. What are your thoughts on interacting and building meaningful relationships with fellow Christians who come across as self righteous and narrow minded? (Eg denying most entertainment and amusement - making a rule for others that this...

We are studying the 10 commandments at the moment and I've just been thinking about this question: One of the commandments is to NOT use God's not in vain (which by the way, includes "my goodness, oh my gosh?"). A pastor mentioned that God is not just concerned with our outward behaviour and...

Someone told me that for the Jewish people, attending higher education (university), is considered to be a sin - encouraging Christian young people to likewise consider their choices carefully and to be on guard against the propaganda and corruption of the world. Can someone enlighten me on why...

As a married couple both making enough money with stable income, would you opt to: 1) live back at home (which means no mortgage) WITH an investment property (rent it out) = less financial burden/ debt but also less independence and privacy 2) move into your own place (mortgage, no investment...

Question guys...I'm kind of stuck in a sticky situation between bf's side and my family's side. We have been officially together for nearly 1.5 years and started dating with the intention of marriage. At this point, it's not really about 'if' but rather more so about 'when'. I'm in my mid...

It is not uncommon to ask a Christian who is dating or in a relationship, "what is the difference between sexual desire and lust?" and they look at you blankly wondering whether there's suppose to be a difference between the two. For a long time, I was trying to figure out the distinction...

How do you differentiate a pharisee (or pharisee spirit) and one who tells the truth with love? For example, if I know someone is wasting their life on some kind of entertainment for extended periods of time (gaming, anime, soap opera), should I approach this person and out of love talk to them...

How can I get my parents to see that workaholism is a real problem that can potentially destroy a family? Both of my parents believe that it is selfish for a wife to be unhappy if she believes that the man is overworking - they are of the mindset that diligence and hard work are positive traits...

It is starting to get to my nerves whenever someone I talk to finds out that I have a dog and how well I treat him - a lot of people will respond with telling me to go have a child. I guess their intention is to tell me that I might as well save my effort and energy to spend on my child since I...

What do you think is the quickest way or the most toxic thing that can destroy an otherwise healthy, happy and love filled relationship between two people?

Just reposting here as it might be relevant too. Can someone shine a bit of light on why people would argue that wives must be modest at home in front of her husband (in this case, the definition of modesty is in terms of attire and dress code)? Since nakedness is not a sin between spouses, and...

Can someone shine a bit of light on why people would argue that wives must be modest at home in front of her husband (in this case, the definition of modesty is in terms of attire and dress code)? Since nakedness is not a sin between spouses, and sexual intimacy is to be embraced, why would...

I urgently need some help and advice from people here. My bf seems to have become quite unhappy and frustrated by certain parts of me recently that I thought he had known a long time ago. We've been together for a year now. I've been trying really hard, with God's grace, to be a good...

Something interesting has popped up in my mind more so recently. The transition between non-married to married is quite astonishing when you sit down to think about it (as if there's a switch to be turned on or off). Hypothetically before marriage, I'm suppose to be all happy about my bf...

I'm confused as to how to discuss this difference in opinion with a friend. My friend likes dogs but does not have one of her own (even though she wants one) because she believes that the money spent on a dog could be spent in better ways to advance God's kingdom such as donating to orphanages...

Can someone help me to understand why I get so annoyed and disturbed when people in the Christian community keep on telling other people to have as many kids as possible because 1) God tells us to multiply 2) the Muslims are overpopulating the West??? I've started to just ignore a lot of these...

Recently I've been considering going to a Christian counsellor to help deal with some issues. I'm in a great relationship now and I want to be an awesome Godly wife but I realise that I need to deal with, forgive, sort out and let go of some issues from my past. Some things I've been able to...
