marriage

This is just something that's been really bothering me lately regarding a so-called "gift of singleness." I understand that there a plenty of people who are happy being single, but a great many more are not. They would like to be married (including myself) yet most churches are doing little to...

This has been on my mind here as of late, and I can't stop thinking about it. My teenage years were horrid in terms of relationships. Barely any ladies were interested in me, and the only thing I would hear from ministers was that "men are dogs" and girls were "delicate creatures that needed...

I don't know if I'm posting this in the right place, but here it goes. I'm a 40 year old guy that is really trying to find the right woman for me. I'm not your typical 9 to 5 kind of guy. My passion is playing music for a living (metal) and I'm always working towards that goal to where I can...

Hello, I've got two friends that are going through a divorce. The wife is the one calling the divorce because her husband has "abused" her. (I put in quotes because I'm not sure if this is actually considered abuse or not). She says that he purposely emotionally and verbally abuses her, and...

We have been married for five years. He just recently came to me and told me that he cheated on me when we were dating. The person he cheated with is someone we have seen at multiple events and even gone to dinner with since being married. He would rake me over the coals if I even talked to...

So my best friend is divorcing her husband because 1.) She hasn't been happy since the beginning. (Which I believe can be fixed.) And 2.) There are high suspicions that he is actually gay. I've had him ask me many questions throughout our friendship that I was uncomfortable answering because the...

Hi guys, I've been having problems. Some between my husband and some between my mind and soul. My husband and I have been together for almost 2 years. We love each other, and we want to live the most Christian life possible. My husband watched inappropriate content for about 5 years before me and even in our...

Almost a year ago, I had a sex dream about my wife's sister, with no feelings towards them arising from it at first. But now, almost a year later, I am starting to have a strong attraction towards her, seemingly from out of nowhere. It started out as a sexual desire, but now I am starting to...

Link: 'What God has joined together ...' Why not just recognize that lifelong marriage is the ideal, but that the real world sometimes makes a hash of ideals, and that remarriage after a divorce often represents people doing the best they can with what they are given? I don't agree with...

I am only a month into married life and I am filled with regret. We got married on our 2 year anniversary after a year long engagement. Our relationship was filled with arguments prior to marriage but when I confided in those I trust they told me it was just me who thought it was wrong. I suffer...

hi So I get married in just over a month and as it's tradition to get the bride/groom a gift for on the day I've ordered the "grooms bible", inspired by something I saw online where a girl highlighted key verses for her partner I'd like to do the same.... So does anybody have any good verses...

This really is a point for discussion I hope, it sort of banged me on the head that it is a simplified version of what our minister in England had told me was part of the European Jewish wedding vows, that it is the responsibility of the husband to make his wife happy (and by reciprocity vice...

I know the bible says that if a man divorces his wife and marries another, then he and that new woman are adulterers. But in this day and age, it is extremely hard not to meet someone who is divorced. Especially when you are older. Are there any exceptions? I don't want to commit adultery!
