    Feeling hopeless about finding a husband and resisting temptation

    Hello everyone, I'm 22 and a little less than a year ago I ended a relationship with my exboyfriend because he was not a believer and I decided to follow Jesus. At that time, I was also sure that my future husband was somewhere out there. Well, about a year later I feel like everyone around...

    sex and marriage

    Question: I have seen it defined that if you ever had sex with someone that equalled marriage. that was how I was taught but I feel that is not the case. That there needs to be a covenant so to speak and having God in mind when marrying. People say oh now you are living in adultery since you...

    Grieving husband. How do I support him, handle the loneliness, and not resent his mother?

    Recently(February '18) my Father-in-law passed away in a terrible unexpected way. Just 3 months prior to this, his mother (our grandmother) passed away at age - 91.

    Am I being too prideful?

    Hello everyone! This will be a bit of a lengthy thread, so I'll add a tl;dr at the end. I'm sorry if this is the wrong thread section, I wasn't sure which section to post in, since they all seem fairly specific. Christian advice seemed appropriate, but I can repost elsewhere if necessary...

    Should this bother me?

    A while back, my husband and I got in an argument about his ex-girlfriend and how I felt like he went above and beyond for her - more than for me.. Well, while we were working through that issue, he mentioned that his ex had emailed congratulating him on getting married. He explained that he...

    Let me try this again.

    The woman who I suspect my future wife will be was interested in Bible study and was down on her self esteem because of what she perceived as an immature viewpoint on the Scriptures. I would ask that you pray that she be blessed to have her heart, mind, and spirit well-perceptive of the...

    Marriage, A Christian History to Present

    Anyone with an open heart to God please give this a read as it speaks about how important this is. This goes along with 1 Corinthians 7 as well with a load of our historical Faith. It's a long read, but do please give it a shot. This made a LOT of sense to me, and I hope it does for you too...

    The Heart And Honor And The Soul

    God's Priestly Class It was spring 2014, and one day I woke up feeling like a 30 year old Levite. Not that I was from the Tribe of Levi, but that I felt tied to God's rules for his priestly class. As a single man, one of the things that struck me most that day was that I could only marry a...

    Newlywed Help

    Hi! I'm new to this site and I don't usually ask for advise about personal problems like this online, but I didn't know who else to ask. My husband and I are both in our mid-twenties. We got married last June and from the first week, I knew something didn't seem quite right. We had sex on our...

    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...

    Marriage: A Message Of Hope

    What is marriage? What does it mean to be married to another? Looking back, I didn’t at all understand what it was all about. I witnessed a lot of hate and hostility between my parents. Why? Where did this come from? For years of my life I searched for the meaning of love which is conjoined in...

    Why are single moms wrong without knowing the situation?

    I have noticed that when a Christian single mother asks how good Christian men feel about single mothers, often times it is assumed that the single mother made a "mistake" or was a "fornicator" in which conceived the child out of wedlock....this seems to be assumed almost always from Christian...

    Broken

    To be completely honest, I don't even know why I am here. Two nights ago I could have told you why, but even so here I am. Though things aren't perfect (and never will be) marriage is great. I was blessed to find a wife who pledged to wait till marriage like myself and that is shocking today...
