A4P Guest: Thank you for your recent YouTube video message. I have a question. I am married and have two kids (10 and 12). My husband and I, both of us are Christians, gave up on our marriage a long time ago, probably a couple years ago. He is sleeping in a different bedroom all these two years. So, as you can imagine, we have no communication whatsoever, I mean, healthy way like a husband and a wife. We always argue when it comes to picking up and dropping off kids at their school and activities. If you ask me why I am living with him, I will say, “For the sake of my kids!” I don’t want my kids to live without a father or a mother. So, even if we sleep in separate bedrooms, at least they see us both in the same house every day. Some people are advising me to divorce him because they see no benefit with my decision to stay with him. What do you say? Is divorce better, especially for my kids?

Divorce? Why?
Marriage between one man and one woman is the story of God, not the story of man. It is very easy for us to forget this especially when we find ourselves in a marriage, in the middle of a conflict. Continue reading Divorce? Why?
A Passage to Meditate
“I said, “I will watch my ways
and keep my tongue from sin;
I will put a muzzle on my mouth
while in the presence of the wicked.”
So I remained utterly silent,
not even saying anything good.
But my anguish increased;
my heart grew hot within me.
While I meditated, the fire burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
“Show me, Lord, my life’s end
and the number of my days;
let me know how fleeting my life is.
You have made my days a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,
even those who seem secure.” Psalm 39:1-5

Sinful desires are printed on our DNA. That means we can’t run from them. Oops, what do we do then? We can live above them while they are hanging out with us.
Meaning of “Tough Love”
A4P Guest: I’m a mother of three little kids (8, 6 and 5 years old). I’ve been married with my husband for the last 10 years. To make a long story short, I’m in hell. I’m crying right now. It is hard for me to write the condition I’m in. My husband doesn’t help me around the house. He doesn’t care about the kids. I do everything by myself. Continue reading Meaning of “Tough Love”
Wife’s submission to her husband
I agree that some people don’t like the word “submission,” especially when it is combined with, “to her husband.” Continue reading Wife’s submission to her husband
Wait!
If you are a single man reading this, let me give you one short advice:
First understand what Genesis 2:23 is saying before you decide to get married. Until you do that, WAIT!
First in Our Home
Let us not hold back a simple gesture of love from those who live with us closely, such as our spouse and kids. Most of us are good at surprising others with a simple or spontaneous gesture of love but we find it hard to do it to the very people who matter the most in our lives.
The simple gesture can be as simple as saying; “I prayed for you this morning so God’s favor will rest on you,” or as big as saying, “I will be your servant today for the whole day. Just let me know what you want me to do for you.” Continue reading First in Our Home
