    Ok, so I have a thought. I have had troubles lately regarding finances...rent, car notes, power bills, etc.. I just can't seem to get to the point where my ends even wave at each other much less actually meet. LOL When I talk to other Christians about the issues they always say 'Pray about...

    Is it OK to leave your spouse home alone to hang out with your friends?

    Hey everyone! That question sounds simple enough, but I'm not talking about a 'guys night' or a 'girls night' where you plan to do something without your hubby or wife. Let me explain.... My husband is currently unemployed and he is at home all day while I am at work. Needless to say he...

    Sexual Harrassment in the Workplace

    If you could teach how to be married...

    I am thinking really strongly about developing a program with a local church or something (haven't thought out all of the details) on how to be married. I'm not talking about a gushy mushy get in touch with your feelings kind of class, but a real down to earth how to do it right kind of class...

    How Important is Self-Esteem?

    Looking at your own marriage, how important is each spouse's level of self-esteem? How much of a toll would it/does it take on you to constantly have to reassure your spouse that everything is ok? For example, constantly having to tell them how pretty/handsome they are, or that you are not...

    Getting married after you divorce...

    This is also in the women's forum, but I want some male opinions as well. I know that we all have our own views on divorce and what not. This thread is not an attempt to get anyone upset or hurt anyone's feelings. I know that most of us interpret scripture differently, especially when it...

    Secular Music...I'm on a roll...

    4jacks....I give the credit to you for bringing this up. Does secular music contribute to young people's views on marriage and sex and relationships or does it just reflect it? or maybe both? Do you think that listening to particular songs or types of music affects your attitudes? Do you...

    Redguard's thread got me to thinkin...

    about a conversation my husband and I had a few months ago. We were talking about cheating and the fact that we believe there are different degrees and which ones are more easily forgiven. The first type is the one night stand. You are away from your spouse on business, out with friends for a...

    Considering what you know now....

    Now that you are married and have some experience in the field what would you do if: 1. Your child came to you and wanted to get married at 18. The guy/girl is great and they really want your blessing, but you know in your heart of hearts that your little boy/girl just isn't ready. 2. Your...

    My best friend's wedding....

    My best friend is getting married and it is just kind of understood that I will be a bridesmaid. I'm excited, my husband however is not. I thought I would put this out there to see if he is being unreasonable or if I should go ahead and tell her that I can't be a part of her wedding. He has...

    Ever wonder what it takes to make your husband happy?

    I found this on www.christianwomentoday.com and thought it might make for a good thread. What are your thoughts and do you agree or disagree? Is this a good 'map' for being a wife? I know that we cover submission and wifely duties over and over here, but I thought this was a good column on...

    One more from me....Mainly for the fellas, but ladies feel free to share

    In the almost two years that I have been married I have encountered quite a few problems with my hubby. He isn't a bad guy but he struggles with drugs, inappropriate content, and abuse towards me. Things were getting better, in fact they had never been so great in all of our seven years total together...

    Merry 'X' Mas....

    I personally always found offense in this because my Grandmother always said that we were taking Christ out of Christmas by being too lazy to spell his name out for the holiday that celebrates his birth....thoughts?
