My husband and I talk about how the culture (in the U.S and probably other western countries) now just puts all the pressure on men to be romantic. Like how almost all holidays are catered to women. This makes a lot of sense when women work so hard all year to help their families but not if...

I do think there are people who just aren't suited for romantic relationships or long term commitments to others. Relationship building is a skillset. Some people don't have it and never care enough to learn.

The responsibilities do pile up. And sometimes it feels like it all just wears on you. It seems like it's normal for adults everywhere to just feel tired and stressed all the time. It's normal but I don't want to be normal. The excitement I had about life as a kid---I want to keep some of...

I suppose I usually think of both. My pet peeve phrase is "spiritual but not religious". I dislike how often Ive heard that one.

No. Hopefully we can avoid the "chore" mentality and have fun with our husbands too because sex is good and important for a good marriage. I think wives thinking of sex as something they just get over with just for the husband's sake can be worked on. It's for us too. It's a blessing. Kind...

Not bad. Im not a Calvinist but these are great verses to support God's sovereignty over His creation.

@dev553344 I'm so glad you are doing better and I praise God for it! Going to pray off screen for God to further bless your life because I feel led to.

I appreciate this. That's all I feel comfirtable saying here.

@MA2444 You may have spoiled her but she chose money and comfort when she could have tried to save the marriage and work things out. That's messed up on her end. Sorry to hear that.

In my past, I had broken ways. I definitely had times of putting my desire for attention and being seen and admired ahead of the best interest of those around me. That attention can be quite a rush and can be addictive, especially if you don't get much positive attention at home. But I...

Maybe lets not assume the worst about men or women either. Maybe a lustful man would rather not be. Maybe an immodest woman is assuming no one's looking at her in particular or may not have a lot of modest options to wear at that time.

Maybe women and men can both do their best with lust issues. Women can work on dressing with good intentions and a good conscience so as to not cause lust unnecessarily. Men can learn to control where their eyes rest and keep their minds on Godly things. We can both contribute to modest...

:) Thanks

I think you're thinking of purity culture. Sex is a good thing. There are plenty of deeply religious and conservative women who believe in prioritizing and enjoying married sex, however.

Maybe you'd get more response on that in the Christian debate or Christian theology sections of this forum. Testimonies and debates usually are separate. Hope that helps.

Thanks, but I was only trying to repeat what Episkopos said at the end of his video. Ive had a lot of confusion on this and on what seeking the Lord is. I have been like Peter---talking big before maturity sets in.

Guilty of just that. I wanted that Moses encounter, but sure didn't want that Moses burden!

Thanks for answering. II did finish the video and am glad to hear that seeking the Kingdom and obeying God's will are first priority. You are saying supernatural encounters, signs, and wonders are a byproduct of actively serving and doing God's will. That does help because Ive often been...

Watching. You mention being translated into the higher walk and you said you've experienced this. I have at least two spiritual goals. One is to have another encoubter with God that is powerful, similar to Moses being shown a glimpse of God's glory. The other is to stop sinning and walk in...

Thank you all so much for praying. Ive gotten my energy back. And Ive made peace with my present living situation and finances---which should slowly improve from here. God has put a lot on us to overcome but He is helping us do it. He is faithful to not waste our suffering, though it may cause...
