You have to put on your own oxygen mask first to be able to take care of and help others. -

This here looks like an actionable temporary solution to some of your problems, give both of your nervous systems time to calm and reconnect with each other and see what Father God is saying in all of this. This sounds like a great positive move...

This is exactly what I want, minus the homesteading spin. This all started when I saw my wife spend an evening with her friend. As soon as I saw them together, I realized I wished we had that all the time. That lady is already married and isn't...

I can relate to wanting a husband who understands your feelings. It is not necessarily something they can do in a way of actually relating. Some men are better at listening and accepting that you are being honest about where you are or what you...

I think this was a major mistake we made early in our marriage. We were both so happy to be parents, we gave our son a lot of attention. We set the wrong expectations with him from the beginning. I used to spend hours reading with him every night...

Yes, I agree I need some rest. I’m trying to get to meet a couple teenager girls at church in person who babysit and I hope they could start helping on a regular basis. I’m also trying to get out alone more for a few hours at a time now that the...

Thank you Mojo for being understanding. I just don’t have a lot of capacity for these ideas right now. I also do not want to be a rebellious feminist at all. I’ve been a believer for decades, Jesus is my Lord and ruler of my life, and I have...

Do not settle for small scraps. Carve yourself out a choice time and make it a priority. This is really important! How old are your kids? If they are young put them to bed earlier and tell them that it is mommy and daddy time now. Expect them to...

Sounds like you at least need to take a break and catch your breath. Relax. Recenter. Now we are getting somewhere. It sounds like you have some work to do with your first wife before adding a second wife. Maybe you need to put your foot...

I regretfully read it several times, watched the video series with my husband, and bought into it eagerly. My husband absolutely did not. He argued about it biblically and logically, but I would not hear him. I was so opposed to patriarchy...

frederick replied to the thread Support New to all this and afraid to speak publicly.Divorce is a different issue. The responsibility for a wife to respect her husband is as clear as the duty of a husband to love his wife. Notice in the biblical passages regarding these matters there are no qualifiers. Cheers

First, I haven't been able to sleep at night since my surgery. At first, it was because of the pain. The pain went away on Sunday, but now the sutures are keeping me awake because they're just so uncomfortable, pulling things together inside my... -
