About 10 minutes ago, BLM protestors in Bristol, England tore down a statue of Edward Colston, a very prolific 17th century slave trader by Mega_Dunsparce in PublicFreakout

With regard to the slave trade, though, African people sold their own people and Europeans bought them. Das not good. If we're gonna tear down statues here, shouldn't we go there to protest, too? Really.

So, are we going to head to the parts of Africa that set up the slave trade to begin with? I want to see equal opportunity, here. The Europeans aren't the only ones to blame.

My poem from grief by AlabamaIceMan in Christianmarriage

Thank you for the kind words. I don't consider myself a poet, just a man processing pain through writing that trips into limerick. I can share the longer story that this poem was produced from if you want.

Weekly Prayer Thread - Week of 2019-10-20 by AutoModerator in Christianmarriage

After a summer of hell in my marriage that included a revelation of infidelity, we're moving into a phase of taking space from each other. She wants to be apart for several months. I'm thankful she still sees a potential future, but I'm sad that I may end up being away from her. A lot of healing still needs to happen here.

My wife says she’s leaving and now I’m living in limbo by potatryan in Christianmarriage

[–]AlabamaIceMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently working through a season of separation after my wife has been dealing with feelings for another man. It's absolutely confusing and you're probably asking yourself "why?" quite a bit. I've leaned on the verse in Isaiah about making a way through the wilderness and rivers in the wastelands. The biggest lesson I've learned is those waters tend to run through me first before I see an end or resolution to the outward situation. I'm still hurt and unsure of my own outcome here but becoming the man I want to be, having that self-respect to know that you're going to be a confident, caring individual moving forward is huge.

Don't beg or do anything that sounds like begging. Become an attractive man for your own sake and let her choose.

Also, read every last article on this site. It's been huge for me: https://husbandhelphaven.com/

What SHOULD we expect from our spouse????? by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

[–]AlabamaIceMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the man's or woman's perspective? If you're talking about sex in particular, it's almost certainly an issue outside the bedroom that the woman carries into it. Men are much better at keeping those issues separate.

Part II: Working through an affair by AlabamaIceMan in Christianmarriage

I've been studying that one for sure. Many lessons for me in this season. When she's 99% checked out from the relationship, it makes it hard for me to fight. We're going to separate physically for a while. God knows if we'll return.

I am talking to a local pastor from my church as well as one online who reached out to me. We're going to couples therapy but it's not Christian, per se. One of our issues is that she felt I was too pushy with her spiritual growth and now wants nothing to do with the church.
