I tend to act the same with a little less affection! This does not diminish the love that I have for my wife!

Omg my husband definitely acts different in public than he does at home. Around others he trys to act so cutely and sweet. At home I can talk about the fondest memeories and get nothing out of him. Drives me nuts when he plays a different part in the spotlight and wish he would just be himself!

My husband is THE MAN. Monday March 26 marks the 7 yr make since my sister died of breast cancer and we took in her 3 kids. Her husband died 4 yrs earlier of cancer. It has been anything but smooth sailing. Our other 6 kids looked on as we learned how to deal with ADHD, Anorexia, Bolemia,Drug and Alcohol addictions….BUT God has given Merlin a “stoutheartedness” that keeps him persevering. He is the soul financial provider. With a grocery budget of $400 a week, a larger home means larger mortgage and 5 cars ..he’s been truly selfless. I love him more today than ever. The struggles and pain have strengthened of marriage and faith exponentially. I am so thankful God brought us together 23 yrs ago and to think at one time he said he didn’t want to have children!! God does have a sense of humor:)

Comment on Good Anger by Stephanie

That’s a very interesting point. It seems to me that it’s very rare for someone to use anger in a positive way but I suppose it’s possible. Considering that possibility makes it easier to be comfortable with experiencing anger which is often something people struggle with.

Comment on Just One Look by Keith Tarchinski

Is a look ok? NO! My wife is the most beautiful woman on the planet! Hollywood may not think so, but I know it for a fact! My daily struggle is that I have “Hollywood” beauty thrown at me from every direction trying to tell me that my wife isn’t as beautiful as some of these Hollywood airbrushed idols. In the past, one look has turned in to a stare, into “shopping” for new lingerie for my wife in the Victoria’s Secret catalog, to online soft core, and so on….
Why would I want to pass a glance and risk my wife feeling that I don’t genuinely think she is the most beautiful woman on the planet? While I am on a rant; I wish some of these “Christian Women” at church would give me a break and stop sending their scantily clad daughters to church like its some beauty pageant! Where is the Humility? I have sex thrown at me from every direction, Is it too much to ask to have a reprieve when I go to worship?
Looking is NOT OK! If you pass it off as so, you are fooling yourself! I am sure there is some scripture somewhere to back this up, and if I would have dedicated myself to reading my bible more often I would be able to tell you what it is (Thank You God for forgiving me).
I am married for life, and I Love my Beautiful wife (BTW. we are both divorced and remarried because we both looked)!

Comment on The Weight of Unforgiveness by S T

Of course there is something I need to forgive my wife for. I live with her 24/7/365 for the rest of my life. The intimacy is constant. Life constantly provides opportunities to “step on toes”. It’s not on purpose – it’s just “life”. I am full of idiocyncracies – good and bad, my opinion or hers. Am I way off base here?

Comment on Lasting Impressions by David L Dean

I always, always try to tell my wife I love her and kiss her as I leave for work. As a law enforcement officer that could be the last words she hears from me on any given day. I want her to always know that she is in my thoughts even unto death. Even if we miss that chance I still find a moment to call her if we should not connect to tell her that I love her. Don’t miss the chance because regrets cannot fill the sense of void that may come if something should take them from this world. Tell your kids the same as well.

I drop my wife off to work daily. This morning, like many mornings, I said the words, ” have a blessed day!”. As I think of it, this is one of those rare mornings where we did not kiss. I try to always kiss and speak those words. I will arrive early with her so I do not neglect that aspect of a gentle kiss before we part.

Comment on One Bad Apple by Beth

This is sooo true! I have been struggling with some emotional and spiritual issues in my life, and it makes me have a very down and depressed attitude. This is not encouraging to my spouse, and I know he is affected by how I feel and my down attitude. I do feel like I am “rotting” sometimes, and things eat away at my core being. Sometimes I keep that from my spouse, and sometimes I share what I can, but unfortunately, much of it he can’t begin to understand. I know our relationship is very affected by my attitude each and every day — I know if I am upbeat and I try to change my attitude — we have a much better day and night.
