Why can some wives stand the beatings of their husbands?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 8 Feb 07

I've never laid hands on my wife not only because I believe it's wrong and should not be done but I know that she is the type of a woman who will surely strike back and who knows what will happen next. But I know of a couple in...

okik35 Good for you for not using force in dealing with your wife and kudos to you for admitting that she might fight back! Men who beat their wives are men without respect and the wives that tolerates it are women without a backbone. How can they allow it? Because...

Does the sight puts a smile on your face and makes you say "How sweet". In the alarming increase of divorces worldwide couples whose marriages last a lifetime are endangered species. I am not implying second time or third time...

suzyangel08 @suzyangel08 (616) • United States 6 Feb 07

tell me how YOU would break up with your loved one when you realized that its just ain't working... if you realized that holding on ain't working and that you do care but really want to end it... how would YOU go about...

love

okik35 breaking up with somebody you love is one of the most difficult thing to do. and it can only be done in a place where you have a privacy, where you can freely express yourself and it should be somewhere safe lest he thinks of committing suicide after the talk!...

Taking the name of God in vain: church people are as much

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 6 Feb 07

guilty as the non-believers. How often do you hear church members saying "Jesus Christ!!" said for no reason at all other than mere expressions of surprise, sadness after hearing bad news or grief. Are the words "God...

okik35 i admit most of us often do that. I mean taking the name of God in vain. It would be hard to find reasons for that except for the fact that for most of us it is already a way of life, like swearing and whining..At the end of the day though, it's your faith in...

You can give without loving but you can not love without giving.

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 7 Feb 07

How true is this do you think? What if you don't have anything to give but yourself? Is that not sufficient enough?

loving and giving

2 responses

okik35 it is true. loving is giving. and if you only have yourself, that's not a problem. actually, it is more than enough and more meaningful.

My bf/gf is God's will for me: how can you tell?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 1 Feb 07

Did you hear a soft voice from God? Do you have some basis?

gods will in relationships

3 responses

okik35 silly you...of course there's no voice whatsoever..but then again, i do believe in fate and that every person you meet everyday, whether special or not is obviously God's will. It's meant for you..for you to learn from them or for them to learn from you.

okik35 this is just my opinion, okay. guys like your boyfriend doesn't know the value of freedom and trust. if you're the one clingy, what would he do? it is alright to want to be always together but then you also have a life beyond your relationship. you have your...

okik35 maybe you should sit and have a long talk with your hubby. Am pretty sure that he has reasons for all his actions. Maybe he want to earn more for you and your family. i just hope that all he has is good intentions.

people often say "forgive and forget", can we truly forget?

manong05 @manong05 (5027) • Philippines 5 Jan 07

how do you understand the word forget here? does it mean to erase from our mind? what is it then? or it doesn't really mean anything, just empty words without real meaning.

forgiveness

1 response

okik35 it's easier to forgive but forget? no sir, i don't think so. you see, forgiving doesn't take a lot of effort. it's so easy to say i forgive you, right? forgetting is a different matter. if you come to think of it, you don't really forget everything that...
