    Married and Long Distance - how to maintain intimacy?

    Hello, I am a little unsure on how to approach this. I am a UK citizen and my wife a US citizen. We got married a little over a month ago. We met in college and dated for many years before we finally got married. A good portion of our time dating was long distance. Due to our circumstances, we...

    My wife loves me, but has never been in love with me

    I've been married now for almost 19 years. Me and my wife were both pretty young when we got married at only 21 years old. Our marriage has been through some serious ups and downs over the years. I'll admit that the downs are largely my fault as I've not always been the type of man I wanted to...

    Christian view of "sensuality" and pleasure

    As an "agnostic" or bad/weak Christian, I known that Christianity warns others about sensual things like eating, sex, attractiveness, a lot of this stuff. But, do you think God meant to create the system we see as if those are always inherently evil or sinful? Jesus also even said in Matthew...

We're both Christians of course and we both want to keep ourselves for marriage. However, we are both very passionate people and find ourselves craving each other. We do not...

    In Him

    John 15:1-2 ESV “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” Jesus Christ, God the Son, is metaphorically being spoken of here as the true...

    Trouble with Intimacy

    A year ago, I found out a lot of things about my husband that I never knew. It was heartbreaking and for a while i didn't think we would make it. During our first few years of marriage, my husband said some pretty hurtful (I'm guessing he didn't actually mean for them to be that way) comments...

    True Intimacy

    On Fire “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation. “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold...

    Uncontrollable emotions

    So I've been with this girl for over a year and we set up from the beginning that we were willing to get married. We worked out that since she was a different denomination (orthodox) she would convert. I felt like I had a partner for life and I could tell her anything. She told me early on that...

    If we have more than one sexual partner does this mean that we can never know what would have been?

    Couples that come together as virgins feel a perfect 'oneness' that they share with no-one else. Obviously if either one of them has been joined to another this is no longer possible because memories of previous experiences will be part of the most intimate moments of their marriage union. Does...
