    Marriage Troubles

    Phantom: I would like to apologize for any attitude I had with you. You're right, I didn't list a lot of information in my post and I shouldn't have been upset. Your words, as I think chaz touched on once before, resembled those of others both online and in real life who simply didn't take the...

    Marriage Troubles

    This is SO incredibly difficult. When something "feels" right, even if it's wrong, it's so difficult to fight against my initial response. Usually it's an incredibly small thing that sets me off, and I know that I shouldn't be upset, but I feel like I should be. Ugh. I. hate. it.

    Marriage Troubles

    I'm probably going to sound really juvenile here, but it is so hard to battle negativity. My dad is an incredibly negative person, and so is my mom. They tend to be cynical and critical and opinionated, and even though they don't intend to, their negativity rubs off on me a lot. I have good...

    Marriage Troubles

    This is, generally speaking, usually the answer he gives me as well. Admittedly, it's probably in part due to some of the disappoint I show when he has forgotten before. And, unfortunately, it's happened more times than either of us wish to count. And I don't handle disappointment well, one of...

    my situation

    Before you marry, you really need to discuss Christ with her and explain that you fully intend to be a Christian family, pursuing Christ everyday. You say that she's fallen behind in her faith the last few years...make sure you are on the same page with her before you get married. Christ is what...

    Marriage Troubles

    Perhaps asking for clarification would have been better than assuming? I understand that I didn't provide a lot of necessary information, but being that you tend to be blunt when you post(as you said you sometimes are), it would have been nice on my end to have time to better explain myself...

    Nolonger: thank you for your very inspiring and motivating post. I just wanted to say that I don't have time atm to reply, but I loved reading what you said.

    Marriage Troubles

    I haven't been trying to fill in the gap, so it's good to hear that I've been doing something right. Is there something I can say to help? I don't want to take over his role, but nor do I want to live without his leadership. Ya know? I also definitely try to get excited when he does things for...

    lol. No. Our situation is not conducive to having a child. I'm a full time student, he works long hours.

    Marriage Troubles

    I make his lunches most days. I'm learning to give him a lot of verbal affirmation. I give him back and leg massages, since he's on the go all day at work and often comes home sore. I need to improve on giving him alone time. I tend to be a bit clingy, and once he's home I want us to spend time...

    Marriage Troubles

    I should have clarified...I don't expect it on a daily basis. And the specific example I gave was a time when he said, without any influence from me, that he would send me a nice message on his break. I really could care less when he sends them, it's just when he tells me it's going to happen...

    Marriage Troubles

    My husband and I married very young. I was twenty, he was twenty-one. We've known each other since we were in second grade, and are coming up on our third anniversary. Generally speaking, we have a good marriage. We respect each other, we love each other, we're best friends, and we each...

    Frequency of intimacy in marriage

    I didn't that's what he was saying either, I just added what I said cause I thought it was important, for the very reason you list. I'm romantic. I like dates and kisses and things to warm the coals, so to speak. If my husband and I went off of when I actually felt like it, we'd have sex...

    Frequency of intimacy in marriage

    So, for clarification, let me ask this: I would agree with this statement, but it depends on the definition of duress. If you mean that the partner with the lower sex drive is made to feel guilty or ashamed for their lack of desire, or that they're being pressured into having sex when they don't...

    Frequency of intimacy in marriage

    As far as sex being or not being a foundation.... I believe that a marriage's foundation is built before the wedding day. When a man and woman are getting to know each other without a sexual relationship, knowing their likes and dislikes, their views on matters like politics and religion, etc...

    Frequency of intimacy in marriage

    I agree that our humanly desires should be controlled. In the case of food, though, the desire for food is not inherently evil. It is meant to tell us when our bodies need fuel. Sexual desires, while physical, are meant to be expressed in marriage. Until we're married they're meant to be...

    Frequency of intimacy in marriage

    :yes This was my point as well. Sex is meant to be mutual, not strictly about one partner's sex drive, either the higher or lower. And when there is a marriage where the sex drives are not matched, I believe both spouses should meet in the middle; the higher drive should not expect the other...
