I loved laying in the clover by the river and reading. Wish I could do that again!!!

I read that - - that's a keeper for sure.

Thank God I have a good marriage today!

I never knew that men christian men treated their wives any differently till I got married and saw men yelling at their wives..... It totally shocked me... I expected that from the drunk next door, but not other church folks... but then again, the way some of those wives talked to their husbands, they deserved what they got.... lol I'll never being in my new church for about a year and sitting in the nursery with several women... I tell you, they were totally dogging on their men... Again, I thought it was a joke... but they weren't joking.... they were so disrespectful... I left out of there and went and hugged my man... I am blessed..... Again, it's in how you were raised and what you were used to seeing... For those women I went to church with, their Mama's ruled the husbands.... nothing worse than a nagging, overbearing woman........ except a nagging man...lol

I think an abusive man is worse than a nagging woman. The women always get the bad rap!

When we got into church I was really big on making my marriage work and looking to others for examples of that. Most of the couples I knew in our church divorced including one couple that had pastored! This was the couple that taught us Search for Truth. Fortunately the pastor and his wife were not one of them!

WOW!!!

That must have been horrible! I had one very close friend get a divorce after seemly being so in love and so involved in ministry. He was handsome and was just starting to preach....then he fell into adultery. It got really ugly with so much gossip going around the church. He had such potential and it was ruined by this affair.
Divorce hurts many other people sometimes-well more like adultery.

How about this, when I went to a womens conference and they had an question answer session and 1 out of 2 questions were about how to deal with their husband who sleep around.

I was on the panel and wanted to say "Leave them!" but I couldn't instead I said you need to talk to your pastor-

LOL!

I think some women don't always want to leave them. I wouldn't leave him, I'd stay and make his life miserable.

He was so smart and so nice. It's too bad he ended up the way he did. Very easy person to talk to. I could hardly look at him when he would preach. We were in the middle of trying to get someone to come up with the proof. None of the ladies would talk. Finally one did - thank God! I admire her for it. She risked her whole life to save the church!

What manipulation!

I guess he wasn't married to someone that made him fear falling asleep at night-

I had family members that would say things to their spouses like:
"If you do this or that-you better find somewhere else to sleep, because if you fall asleep in my bed, when you wake up you might have something missing"
