I've got a question for posters here, females in particular. A while back, one of my wife's friends was staying with us for a few days. She's from another country. So's my wife, but different countries. This woman is a massage therapist. That's fine with me. For me personally, I don't...

My wife used to be more critical of the way I did housework. But the Lord corrected her over the issue of respecting her husband after she got onto my case about how I put dishes in the dish washer. When we had our last baby, I ended up doing a lot of the dishes. She admitted after that that...

SoulSearching, I'm a little late to the thread. I'm glad you have decided not to divorce your husband. It really would take a lot of nerve for you to divorce him after you cheated on him and committed adultery. It doesn't sound like he has done anything to you to warrant a divorce even by...

My wife and I hardly argued at all for the first couple of years of our marriage. Then she got pregnant and we moved house, and she snapping at me all the time there for a while. She's gotten grumpy during other pregnancies and especially after. One time though, she was upset with me about...

I'm not sure what Panamas are, but it seems like something is missing from the story. Did you tell your husband that they didn't have Panamas? I can see why what your husband said would irritate you, but from the opening post it sounds like you really laid into him and got bent out of shape...

I had an opportunity read out of a Bible with the Apocrapha today. My Bible at home doesn't have it. I flipped through Sirach, and found the following passage. This is the RSV version of it. [9] A daughter keeps her father secretly wakeful, and worry over her robs him of sleep; when she...

I've been reading about what women find attractive in their husbands and there are a lot of theories. Some websites argue that women aren't attracted to what they say and think they want. They say they want an understanding sensitive man who helps do the laundry. But find themselves more...

Some people are raised in homes where their parents are angry and they think it is normal for married couples to yell at each other and act like that. Is she a believer? Maybe it would help to study verses about controlling anger. I like that verse in Proverbs about someone who doesn't rule...

I don't know if there is any one solution to your problem. Maybe counseling would work. Maybe someone else telling her that what she is doing is wrong will work. If I were you, I would definitely drive home the message that she is sinning and quote I Corinthians 7. Physically, are you making...

Another thought, as an honesty issue, you want to stay true to your word. You've committed to lend the money. You don't have to put conditions on lending the money, but when you put it in his hand, you can say, "I am going to lend you this money, but I don't want you to lie to your wife about...

If he doesn't tell his wife you lent him the money that isn't necessarily lying. It could be just withholding information. If he tells her someone he knew lent him the money, that's not a lie. If he says it was money from savings or he borrowed it from the bank, that's a lie. We aren't...

Girls can get raped on dates as teens, too. My guess is an inexperienced teen is more vulnerable than an inexperienced girl in her 20's.

Some contracts are standard forms where many of the terms are already known and expected. Some duties of certain relationships are mandated by law or just expected because of cultural-cognitive institutions, unwritten rules nearly everyone agrees on. When it comes to Christian marriage...

About reverence for God, I am talking about the OP of course. It's a joke the depicts God as being deceptive and not serious about His promises. I wonder how many of you would like jokes like that told about you. What if someone went around telling jokes about you being dumb. Insert your...

Biblical submission and respect seem very much intertwined. If a wife really submits to her husband, she is probably showing him respect. If she really has the type of respect the Bible talks about, she will probably bet in submission. The word for respect, reverence, or 'fear' that the...

In the Old Testament, a prophet who falsely attributed words to the Lord could face the death penalty. There are also numerous scriptures that warn against adding to God's word. Here is an example, Proverbs 30 5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in...

What I saw is I asked for what you based your conclusions on, and shut down the conversation. A quick search of commentaries online for example about 'hupotasso' mention the literal meaning and military usage. Where does the idea that it means to listen to other people's advice come from...

The verse you quoted doesn't prove the whole Lilith mythology or the idea that Lilith is 'female.' Other translations don't translate the word 'Lilith.' I haven't done a word study, but it's conceivable that Lilith just happened to be named after the word for night creatures. In the legend...

I'm not arguing in favor of 'disciplining' as you see in my other posts. But there is a chain of command issue. Children don't discipline parents. Servants don't discipline masters (or in our context employees don't discipline bosses.) It's not the wife's role to discipline her husband...

My dad was a bit traditional in terms of labor around the house and would occasionally do stuff like shake the ice in his glass as a sign for my mom to refill his drink, and I think I reacted too far the other way when it came to gender roles when I grew up. I believed in wives submitting to...
