"Despite what feminists say, a man should never show weakness. The essence of masculinity is power. If he is weak, he loses a woman's respect. If he lacks confidence, he should gain it by setting goals and achieving them."


...This statement made me soooo sad. In a Christian marriage, a man should be able to let his guard down & show his weakness. Man is not perfect & cannot be strong all the time. One of my fondest memories of my husband was in a moment where he did not know what to do & cried for the first time on my shoulder. It made him real! It was intimate & made me, as his partner, feel that he trusted me with his innermost feelings. This is what marriage is all about!

This is so interesting. My husband grew up in a Baptist church. He too rebelled & did things he regrets now. He went off to college, got in a  Christian group & has completely found his way back.
I would try finding a church of your very own. My husband & I now attend a non-denominational church & have started a tradition on our own. We love it. It has so many young people about our age.
Continue to pray for him! He will come around!

I have been married a year now to my best friend. We moved 5 hours away from my home to live in his home town. I am excited to try new things but it has been very hard to be away from my family. We have tried to get involved with a church but my husband's job calls for him to work crazy hours and he works a lot of Sundays. I work 40+ hours a week so we dont get to spend much time together. I am lonely & sometimes depressed! Why is it so hard for me to draw close to God during this time? I should want to spend all my free time getting to know my Savior more. Any words of wisdom?
