    Points to Ponder

    Marital Gems for Men and Women I don't know if this exists but I wanted a space for relational affirming content for Christian men and women who desire marriage. This is a place of honor and respect and light heartedness. Some remarks may be unsettling or oppose your beliefs. Be willing to...

    10 Things Men Need in a Woman

    I've had difficulty finding suitable content in the trad sphere. It's a mixed bag and the messages aren't always biblically sound or the delivery is not to my liking. But I happened upon two people on a platform I rarely visit and they're what I've been seeking. This little nugget was worthy...

    Sexual intrusive thoughts about others while in a relationship

    Hey, I've been heavily addicted to inappropriate content for 7-8 years, especially BDSM. In January, I told my girlfriend everything (including that I had been chatting with other men as their slave and sent them some stuff about myself). We've been fighting together, and I've been inappropriate content-free since then. Until...

    Is it a sin to knowingly put oneself in a tempting situation when a less tempting option is available?

    * I think Catholicism considers this a sin, but I'm not Catholic so I'd like to avoid discussions with that filter. * My boyfriend and I are taking a trip. Our options for sleeping arrangements are 2 separate hotel rooms (more expensive) or an Air BnB, which is where we'd rent an apartment with...

    Hi everyone, For the last few months my boyfriend and I have had on and off conversation about internet piracy. I'm of the stance that it's stealing, it's immoral, and we as Christians shouldn't do it. He used to be of the mindset that piracy wasn't stealing and was therefore okay. However...

    Physical affection in dating

    I posted this in Requests for Christian advice but I wanted to also post in a relationship advice forum too. I know the age old question of "how far is too far" isn't the question to be asking, but rather more like, "how can I honor God in this relationship?" And I tell you what, I am...

    OCD destroying a relationship

    Saturday night my boyfriend told me that the affection he feels for me had been dulled, and it's because I constantly bring up problem after problem, and it's wearing him down and stressing him out. I asked if he wants to fix it, and he said it's hard to want to fix it with the affection being...
