I agree, but love is not simply letting someone trample on you. There is a loving discipline you need to practice on people where you do not tolerate their behavior.

I’m sorry to hear of your experience, that sounds terrible.

I bet that’s going to go well when she sees it laying on the night stand :D. I will check that out!

Truthfully I believe my wife is mentally ill and struggles with Bipolar, depression and OCD.

She would NVER see a psychiatrist. I know for a fact that she has bipolar and OCD. She’s undiagnosed but her violent mood swings, disagreeable attitudes, etc all point to that. The issue is she is the most prideful human being I know and she would never see one (as I have suggested in the past)

I agree with you and think there is an underlying need. However, it’s a cyclical battle because she is so touchy. For example, we were going to go on a walk together and I told her I was going to run (as I’m training for a 10k) and she lost it and then when I said I’d keep walking with her she...

That very much might be what I need to do.

Thanks, Bella. I think the issue is that I am not so much of a sensitive man, rather, my father taught me there is a time to be strong and be a man and a time to be emotional. My wife’s father, albeit he was and is a great father to her, raised her nearly as a boy. Because of this, she now is...

No we did not.

Thanks Steve. I know that even when we are abused by our enemy, we are to condemn their actions but we are to still love them (not love them as a worldly, warm, fuzzy feeling type of worldly, but in our actions and mercy as we have been shown mercy). How do I love this domestic enemy while...

I am praying for your son, men are often just as verbally abused as women. Though I do believe men need to be the rock ans to often suck it up, but it is also an issue that needs to be brought to light.

Thanks Jeshu. I definitely raise my voice ans defend myself. I am fully aware that Christ is gracious but a disciplinarian as well. He says to us in Revelation to the church of Laodecia that they were lukewarm therefore He will spit them out. In a way I feel like that with my wife and have...

Thanks, Bob. That definitely gave me some hope!

I want to love my wife as Christ loves the Church, I want to have patience with her, I want to reject anger and have compassion and mercy on her and bear fruit. She claims to be a Christian but is the most spiteful, impatient, easily angered, and gossipy person I know. She intentionally...

That’s true! I also like how you called Him a chippy, I’ve never heard of that before .

I think with the Cannabis, it is also important to point out that this region of the world did largely use hemp for farming material. Even if that is not the case, Cannabis on its own does not produce the emotions required to feel as if you were standing in the presence of the Most High or even...

Matthew 6:8-10 and Luke 12:27-40 make me wonder if it is truly Biblical to pray for the things of this world. I heard a great theologian once say, “did you ever read of Jesus praying for a job, a car, a house, or any material item?” I don’t recall who it was but they had a point. Do you...

Very interesting. Thanks for your insight.

was going to do that but forgot, thanks!

Not sure if this is the right thread but seems most close to it. A long time ago Answers in Genesis posted a response to a skeptic (Benny Shannon) saying that Moses did not hear the voice of God but rather imbibed a “magical” potion from the bark of the Acacia wood which has hallucinogenic...
