Christian Advice Twist!
![]()
We've given our Christian advice on a variety of subjects -- now it's time you give yours. If you're anything like the rest of us, you probably find it easy to give advice and harder to receive it. In fact, how many times have you offered advice to a friend and later thought to yourself, "that was good advice, now if only I could advise myself like that!" That my friend, has happened to all of us. Here's how our Marriage Forum works:
There are three marriage scenarios below. Each tells the story of a marriage related problem, and each has a TWIST at the end. Read the scenarios and then either make a comment or give advice. Once you have finished posting, go back and comment on the Christian advice given by of other visitors. Some of the scenarios are based on real life situations and others are totally fictional. You may comment on one scenario or on all three -- it's totally up to you. Note: Your advice and comments must follow Christian principles and express the love of Christ. Rude remarks will not be tolerated.
Report inappropriate comments here. Also, please do not refer to or recommend other websites or books other than the Bible.
We were arguing more than usual and spending less and less time together. In an attempt to get things back on track, we decided to join the couple's ministry at our church.
It was okay. Most of the lessons they taught were things we already knew. But we did make some new friends. There was one couple in the ministry that we started spending a lot of time with outside of church; we'll call them Mr. and Mrs. X.
Almost instantly, I found myself drawn to Mr. X. He is so different from my husband Shawn and physically very attractive. The funny thing is that he (Mr. X) and I have a lot in common.
Lately, at church Mr. X and I find ourselves purposely volunteering to serve on the same committees and joining the same ministries just so that we can spend time together.
We often convince our spouses to all come together for dinner just so that we can see each other. I have a serious crush on him! Recently he confided in me that he is no longer in love with his wife.
What should I do? Is God leading me to divorce my husband?
Here's the TWIST: Mr. X's wife has just found out she's expecting their second child.
Like the children of Israel, we have been in the wilderness going around the same mountain over and over again.
My wife has a job but believes her money is her money and that my income should support the family. This is how it was with her parents.
I don't have a problem with that but my income is barely enough to do all that is needed to run our home and save for the future.
My wife often buys unnecessary expensive items with her money and almost never contributes to our living expenses.
On the other hand, she criticizes me for not managing our money better and says that our family should be further along at this point than we are.
Her constant nagging has become repulsive. I don't even desire to be initmate with her. I guess I just don't find her attractive anymore.
She and I have had this conversation many times but it gets no where. I am emotionally, and mentally drained.
Here's the TWIST: I was just laid off of my job and I don't know how to tell my wife.
About six months ago I started a new job after being unemployed for nearly a year.
Lately at work, my boss has taken the liberty to share with me what I consider to be
very intimate details of his marriage. He comes into my office at least 3 days out of the week and just dumps on me about his wife.
Some of the things he says are mean and most of the stuff he says, frankly, should be kept between the two of them.
As you can guess, it makes me extremely uncomfortable but I don't know what to say to him.
After all, he is my boss and I'm in no position to be fired.
Recently, he invited me and my wife to dinner at his place. I didn't want to go but my wife said it wouldn't look good as the new employee to decline; so we went.
Here's the TWIST: Several hours into the evening just before we were about to leave, my boss's wife made a pass at me, I think.
My wife says I'm being paranoid and over reacting, but this has really thrown me for a loop.
I have thought about leaving but I like my job. Besides that, in this economy it could take me months or even years to find another decent paying job.
Any advice would be appreciated.
