How do I let go of my dream?
Thanks for your encouraging words about last week’s blog. Today’s question has to do with letting go. Question: I read your book, The Emotionally Destructive Relationship, and am working to grow and heal but there is something I can’t seem to get past. I met my husband (now ex-husband) in high school and we married young. We both had a…
How do I know what is biblical?
Happy Easter Everyone! We had a wonderful weekend celebrating my father’s 80th birthday in Chicago. Grandchildren and great grandchildren flew in to honor a man who has had a life well lived. The best part was a creative memory/photo album my sister and sister-in-law put together of letters we all wrote my dad, sharing a special memory from the past…
How do I live with a detached, defensive husband?
Hi Everyone, I’m writing this blog from sunny California although I haven’t gotten to be in the sun much because I’m visiting with my new granddaughter and cooking meals for my daughter and husband. I’m 3 hours behind so to me it’s still early morning. It is so fun being a grandmother. See my Facebook page if you want to…
How do I honor my mother yet protect my children?
My daughter had her baby yesterday, Amaya Love, 6.5 pounds and 19 inches long. She is beautiful and I can’t wait to meet her. I am so happy to be a grandma. Today’s question poses a struggle how do I honor a parent that is destructive and potentially dangerous? Question: I’m struggling with what is the best way to honor…
I need your prayers and you’re invited to Friday night!
Hi to all of you who stop by to read my blog, It’s Monday night and I still haven’t gotten to this week’s question. It’s been a crazy two weeks and tonight I’m on empty and so I decided just to ask you all for prayer instead of trying to get it all done. I was speaking at the Hearts…
My wife told me she has never loved me. Now what?
Question: Two months ago my wife advised me she has been unhappy, particularly of late, with our marriage. After some initial jostling to figure out the problem she has shared with me that she does not “love” me as wife should love her husband. Unlike many similar problems like this with married couples who have been married a while she…
My daughter married an abusive liar. Can she get an annulment?
This week I’m in cold and not too sunny Florida trying to get a little R & R with my husband and sister and husband. This week’s question again poses a very interesting dilemma. Question: My daughter was married almost a year ago. Her husband induced her into a fraudulent marriage. He made promises which were non-negotiable to her. He…
Part 2 – Continued discussion about how to respond in marital distress
In this week’s blog I’m not going to answer a new question, but rather I want to continue the discussion Amy and Anonymous have generated from last week’s question. So if you haven’t read last week’s question and answer, scroll down to read it because the way we think about these things is critical. Anonymous felt angry after reading the…
My husband says he’s divorcing me but still wants sex. Do I have to?
Last week we had quite a number of interesting responses to my blog post answering the question of whether or not to give her husband another chance. I even got a response in Chinese although I’m sorry that I can’t read it and don’t know anyone who can translate it for me. But it’s encouraging to hear people’s experiences and…
