I am back after almost three weeks away. Lots to do at home right now but I plan to check in tomorrow! ;)

Respect due to our husbands has NO prerequisites or qualifying behaviors for us to do it. Thankfully, there are no such things for men to love their wives, either. I know some here would lean more to the side of "he needs to earn my respect by...

Some changes needed:

She might be more comfortable after you explain your intentions. Right now she no doubt can tell that you're interested in her and she's correctly reserved since you're married. Once it's explained that you want to welcome her into your family...

I wasn't originally planning to share this much info, but at this point, anyone who knows us will recognize us from our comments anyway. I'm 37. My wife is 33 and the other lady is 28. We did invite her for dinner. She said she would like to...

I applaud your openness. It’s hard to put your thoughts and raw feelings out there to others that you do not know. Though I am still an only wife, my husband has dated over the years and I have had my share of negative responses. (All of the...

"Do all things without murmurings and disputings:" - Philippians 2:14 (KJV) Murmuring against providence is admittedly something I have been very guilty of. When I went through a period of extended unemployment, the longest in a decades long...

Invite your potential over for dinner and discuss it with your wife present. That makes it clear that the whole thing is honest and open on your part. May I ask the ages of yourself, your wife, and your potential?

I think you're right on track and doing fine. Carry on! ;)

Deserve it or not, let the wife see that she respects her husband.
