tell me why they change school's start time earlier by more than an hour when moving to middle school?
don't know how she'll get up at 6 instead of 7:10
I dont know about your district; but when mine were in school it had to do with the bus schedule. Different runs for grade school, middle school and high school.

Happy New Year!

Was informed earlier today: "Your post in the thread Restoring sex in marraige was deleted. Reason: Moving to Women's Only Forum Male posts & responses removed"

Not sure why they do that. The thread was fine here and it was a husband wife thing. Besides, I have seen a few threads moved to the guys' side that left the women's comments in. No big deal.

Not complaining, but I dont see the point.

I suppose so that people cannot reply to you in an area you cannot respond. If you saw that in the men's marriage area, that has to be a while back! There hasn't been a new thread in there since 2016.

My wife and I went to a "marriage seminar" over the weekend (Family Life's "Weekend to Remember"). Some of our friends bought it for us as a wedding gift. It was actually pretty good... I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in such things, and it's Christian-based teaching. Plus it was a nice little getaway.

It felt like there was a "marketing" side to it (where they try to sell you books and additional trips and stuff), which always makes me suspicious. But overall the messages and speakers were very good.

That while God hates divorce, it's not an unforgivable sin. The biggest mistake of my life is marrying my wife but I'm stuck because we're both Christian and we cannot divorce unless one of us is unfaithful which I don't think will happen (thankfully).

Husband is turning 30 tomorrow... I’m not ready for us to be 30.
LOL!! I turn 65 on Saturday. And I WAS supposed to be preaching the sermon, but with the congregation shut down I am not sure what will be happening.

We are still in operations as we are considered essential but I have stepped down from my leadership positions for a few months while I get my mental and emotional health under control.

This is my first night on here and my first post on the Christian forums. I am so so sad. I had been a widow on my own for a while, which was difficult. But then last year in 2019 I married an old friend who is a UK citizen. I have been back-and-forth over there many times. But our plan was to live here in the US because I have a house, pets, young adult children who still need me around because their dad is gone, and my parents are all in their mid to late 80s so I am poised to help them as well. Anyway, we were a good halfway through the immigration process and then this virus crisis hit. So now not only am I no longer allowed to go over there and visit him, but the immigration process has come to a screeching halt. My lawyer had done a great job up until that point of expediting things because I have become disabled, legally blind and several other things. I just don’t know what to do. It’s like I have a husband but I don’t have a husband. We have no idea how long it will be until the immigration services is back up and running. And of course we have no idea when borders will be open again to other countries. The both of us are completely devastated and bereft :(

I am sorry for how this has affected you. I didn't think of how it affects immigration. It is always difficult dealing with the unknown and things that are out of our control. Thinking of you.

Please don’t feel that way. You have no concept of how young you really still are. Now when you turn 60 as I did on my last birthday, then it can niggle at you a little bit, LOL.

Thank you for your kind words. We have no idea what the future holds or how long until we see each other again. It’s soul-destroying.
