Question

My husband's ex keeps contacting him to talk about his current life and their past relationship. What do I do?

Matthew Lucero

Community Answer

Talk to your husband about it first, and tell him about why this makes you uncomfortable. If he's understanding, he should agree to cut her off from his life.

Question

What can I do if my partner does not want to quit smoking?

Community Answer

Love him anyway. Tell him you would like for him to stop for his own sake as well as for yours and your children's, if you have any. Let him know that you love him and will support him even if it takes a long time for him to give it up. Just keep praying for him and have the faith that God can give him the desire to stop smoking. Prayer DOES change things, so keep your faith strong and be loving anyway. Be gentle when trying to persuade him. He most likely didn't pick up the habit in one day and it won't go away in one either.

Question

How do I get a Bible?

Community Answer

You can shop online for a translation you like, or go to a bookstore. The New International Version and the Living Bible are the easiest translations to understand because they use clear, modern English. But, many Christians enjoy the traditional King James Version.

Question

Is anal or oral sex considered holy for a Christian marriage?

Community Answer

Sex is a private matter between you and your spouse. Whatever you both feel comfortable with is what you do. Never allow for force, abuse, or manipulation in the bedroom, if you don't feel comfortable let your spouse know.

Question

What if my husband does not support his family financially and always considers his mother's financial needs ahead of ours?

Community Answer

You need to have a serious conversation with your husband. If you don't work because you have decided together that you will raise your children and he will provide financially, seek the help of a financial advisor to help you make a budget that satisfies you both. It is admirable that your husband wants to care for his mother; ask yourself if he is actually failing to care for you and your children's basic needs, or if you are just resentful that he is spending the extra on his mother instead of you. Be honest with your husband about your feelings and concerns.

Question

Is it ok if I am submissive to my boyfriend?

Community Answer

In a healthy relationship, both partners are equals. If you feel that you have to be submissive to your boyfriend, then he may be trying to emotionally control you.

Walk away for a few hours. You can try to compromise with him if you have different views on something, and you can call your mother-in-law to help.

Question

My husband has refused to have sex or even get close to me. What should I do?

Community Answer

According to the Bible, a husband and a wife have authority over each other. However, nothing can be forced or denied wrongly. If you are denied something by him, you can make efforts to find out why, and make amends accordingly. Often a misunderstanding results in differences. If nothing works, you may choose to meet with a marriage counselor.

Question

What should I do if my spouse doesn't want to have sex or get close to me?

Community Answer

Don’t assume anything. Ask your spouse about it and then just listen to what they have to say and go from there. Sometimes this is the result of a medical issue, and so needs to be discussed with a doctor. Sometimes it's because of a mental or emotional issue, in which case a counselor might be needed. Just listen to your partner without judgment and try to determine your best course of action.
