A4P Guest: I am 18 years old and I am a Christian. I always pray for my future marriage and I want to get married at the age of 25. Do you think that is a bit too early to get married?
A4P: Why did you ask me?
A4P Guest: Because everybody who heard me say that rebuked me.
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?
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?→
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”→
You may ask, “Then what is a good season to file a divorce?”
There is no right or good season to file a divorce because divorce does not solve anything.
What I am trying to say is this: Usually right after summer season, most people get very emotional and get totally depressed. Because of that, those minor marital issues they thought were okay to ignore all of a sudden become so huge for them during this time that they want to file a divorce.
A4P Guest: I got married a couple years ago. My husband and I are Christians. My husband is a nice man and everything. I was in love with him but these days, I don’t feel any attraction towards him and it is bothering me. I don’t like to come home from work so I won’t be alone with him. Would you please help me?
A4P: Were you in love with him when you married him?
The most life threatening environment for a man to live in is a house where the presence of a mean-spirited wife is felt everywhere.
First, he fights to win; then he quickly understands that he has little or zero chance to win. So, he totally withdraws (tends to watch soccer or football a lot or becomes a politician and/or a philosopher). Then he checks himself out from his kids’ life and at last he desires only one thing, to die. Continue reading “I am not mean”→
“The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18
A suitable helper or “a helpmate” in the Hebrew word is Ezer Kenegdo and guess what that translates in to: A LIFESAVER.
No wonder divorced men die quicker than the men who stayed in their marriages. Remarriage doesn’t change the life expectancy of a divorced man. The only thing that is better for a man to do in this life is, first, to find a woman to marry, and second, decide to live with her until he dies.
