  • Re: porn vs. romance novels

    Jane FW-good response! I just want to point out that I think this post has moved away from it's original purpose, but here's a good link I found: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/4686875/Men-and-women-sin-differently-according-to-Vatican-study.html So man may be more likely to commit a sexual sin, but women are more likely to ...

  • Re: Going off of Effexor

    Just to give my two cents on prozac:&nbsp; I started taking it when&nbsp;I was 19 for depression, OCD, PTSD, and anger problems.&nbsp; (Yes, doctors were quick to diagnose me with a lot of things!)&nbsp; I switched to another medicine for a month, but I ended up only taking Prozac for a total of a year until the doctors found out that I had high ...

  • Re: what should / shouldn't a spouse reveal to each other?

    I agree with the above responses, but you could possibly try something indirect too (if you feel more comfortable then just saying how stinky he is).&nbsp; Why not take a shower together to begin with, and then carry it over to the bedroom?&nbsp; You could tell him over and over&nbsp;how ''crazy'' you get over that ''new body wash'' you bought and ...

  • Re: To date or not to date :)

    See that's where it gets all fuzzy.&nbsp; We are committed and exclusive and all of that to each other.&nbsp; It just seems his problem comes from the actual words/titles of ''boyfriend/girlfriend''.&nbsp; He's fine with using it about me to other people, but to say it to me seems like a huge milestone for him... like a huge commitment (marriage ...

  • Re: To date or not to date :)

    I've asked him before if he was dating anyone else and he tells me ''No I don't do that''&nbsp; He said when he is getting to know someone, he is getting to know only that girl.&nbsp; And I asked him if we were exclusive, and he said yes we are.&nbsp; I have asked him what if I were to date someone else?&nbsp; He said he would stop talking to ...

  • To date or not to date :)

    So this is my first thread.. ( I had originally posted this in the ''seriously dating section'' but it looks broken or down or my post didn't go through or something.. so I figured I would post it here) I've been currently seeing someone for over two months now, and we call ourselves a couple to everyone... but each other.&nbsp; If anyone asks if ...

    So this is my first thread.. I've been currently seeing someone for over two months now, and we call ourselves a couple to everyone... but each other.&nbsp; If anyone asks if we're dating, we say yes.&nbsp; (We ARE dating, but he does not&nbsp;say to me that he is my&nbsp;boyfriend.. if that makes sense.)&nbsp; We hang out every night after i'm ...

  • Re: 16 year old girls

    Do you know of someone close to her age/a bit older&nbsp;who could be a mentor to her (kind of like a big sister)?&nbsp; If someone that had went through that ''rebellious teen stage'' and now is Christ-filled, she could see first hand the struggles that person faced.&nbsp; She could hear testimonies from someone who's not an older person (because ...

    I'm 21, and I still live at home.&nbsp; I'm graduating college this year with a BA (full-time student)&nbsp;and working one full time job and two part time jobs.. believe me, it's tough (to graduate in this economy and make ends meet).&nbsp; I understand where he is comming from.&nbsp; I had to put in twenty applications just to get one job. This ...

  • Re: Immoral content in high school drama production

    Of course, student directed and produced&nbsp;always leads to the students pushing the limit!&nbsp; (I'm currently a student in a liberal college!) If no one else supports you, why not approach the teacher and ask if your daughters can opt out of the production and do something else:&nbsp; write their own scripts, act their own plays... maybe ...

  • Re: No desire

    I definately agree it could be medical for your loss of sex drive.&nbsp; I have thyroid problems (very badly) and that has done it for me for a loooong time. I also agree with others that it could be because he's home all day.&nbsp; I would encourage him to go out during the day and do something productive-he might wear himself out and give you a ...

  • Re: Does 2 plus 2 Always Equal 4?

    I am praying for you.&nbsp; I would definately sleep with one eye open, if you know what I mean.&nbsp; Here's what I would do:&nbsp; First, pray about it.&nbsp; I would wait a week or two when the grieving has surpassed a bit.&nbsp; This gives you time to read and re-read the letter to make sure you have down what you need to say.&nbsp; I would ...
