Divorce can feel like a living hell. The emotional scars that come from divorced can never be removed. Your children will be scarred as well. It's no wonder why they feel so insecure. So make every effort to seek reconciliation rather than divorce.
It's crushing for parents to hear that their child is gay. Men and Women are made for each other - it is God's design. Anything other than that is outside that design. Make sure your child knows that you love them no matter what.
Intimacy isn't just about sex. It's also emotional and relational. Without emotional closeness, sex may be meaningless. Intimacy occurs when couples share their lives deeply with one another.
For many Christian wives, they want to have a deeper level of intimacy with their husbands. Building spiritual intimacy involves sharing spiritual times together - church worship, devotional time and prayer.
What does "in love" mean? The word love means many things to many people. Feeling "in love" means exactly that - a feeling. Feeling "in love" doesn't necessarily mean you should marry that person.
Many Christians pride themselves in holding back their anger; but internalizing anger is very unhealthy. The Biblical challenge is that when we experience anger, we are to process it in a positive way.
Most of us are self-centered. We strive to achieve our goals but often lose our marriages in the process. If we aim to build our marriages while at the same time building our careers, both spouses win.
How important is it to get your future in-law's blessing before marrying their daughter? It's definitely ideal. Take time to honestly consider the areas of their concern and admit that they might be right. In the end, you don't always have to base your decision on the blessing of your potential in-laws.
How important is it to know all the secrets of your spouse's past? Be sensitive and don't force him to share thing he doesn't want to share. If God has forgiven him, allow him to choose the things about which he's willing to share.
The boomerang generation - it's when your older children leave but then move back home. This can be very challenging for the parents. Don't be afraid to talk to other parents who can share with you how they were able to handle it.
