Relationships & Family > Marriage & Divorce (Other) Is not having sex with your spouse a crime: 1 of 31
Depending on the situation and intentions, it can very well be a crime against the Laws of Marriage to refuse sex. At the same time it can be a crime against your spouse to force (by guilt) them to have sex with you; this can hurt your marriage just as bad (if not worse) than not "getting any" as often as you would like to. ...

"That's it, Diane, really, I'm not ever telling you about my phobias again." Wayne said, half smiling, only to hide his humiliation. He drowns another french-fry in ketchup and shoves it into his mouth, in a dramatically irritated motion. "Wayne" Diane teasingly scratches his back as she tries to get him to look into her fac...

Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Suggestions to the President of the United States: 4 of 45
First suggestion: Remember the Past They say that time and history repeats itself. America has a lot of history that we do not want to see repeated.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Sins and God's laws: 4 of 36
Sin is a highly misunderstood issue. It is amazing at how many misunderstand this very essencial subject. A few questions I have been asked: Does sin offend God? That is a silly question. Of course it offends God. Does it offend you when someone lies, steals, rapes, molests, or murders your family? Does it offend you when so... More..

I am a man. I am a man who is fully and deeply devoted to my wife. I married my fantasy woman, too bad not everyone does. Unfortunately I have had three close friends, who cheated on their wives.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Starting a Christian youth ministry: 1 of 8
There is without doubt more than enough reasons to start a youth ministry, than one could contain in a thick book. The youth today have more opportunities to stumble with their faith than and more reason to question the truths found in the Bible than I ever remember having to face. Sex is the norm today.

Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Has Paris Hilton found God?: 3 of 21
Has Paris found God? That is a really hard-to-possibly-know-at-this-point kind of question. First of all, as far as finding God, Paris has prided herself on being all about herself. She has been #1 in her life; her own God. Prison has an amazing way of making you think about these things. Has Paris found faith? Has she decid... More..
Relationships & Family > Marriage & Divorce (Other) Civil vs. religious marriage: 1 of 6

This is horrible, but it shows that people are less willing to work out issues, or less committed to their end of the vows that they vow.
