i mean sooo Frustrated that you could scream !!??
Right now i am !
I have already put a whole through a few boards at work when no one was looking.
I just want to know if anyone else has gone through this and what have you done to come to an agreement. Don't have to give me details. I just don;t know what to do and strapped for ideas.

It is frightening to come to this sort of delima I would assume. I have become frustrated and angry but never to a violant stage. You should seek the advice of a proffesional so you can give more details and maybe invite her along so you could discuss your problem and have a mediator so listen to both side and help you come to a compromise. Alwasy remeber yelling and screaming is a defense mechanism for both parties involved.

yes i have sat down and talked to her, and it's one of those situations where she is talking, but isn't saying anything. According to her she is afraid of going to hell.
i told her that the church she has just going to isn't the only way, i told her that we can go to the church we were already going to. I mean since when is one church or any church for that matter a guaranteed to way to go to heaven. She is 23 yrs old, why is she soo worried and hellbent on going to heaven now? i mean of all things she should be more worried about starting a family with me and more worried about her job and stuff. I don;t know.
it just seems like she is basicly being brain washed by this other church and our so called freinds. like i said i am just my wits end.

Have you asked her what makes her do this thing she does? Is there something in her life that she is afraid of? Ask her what you can do to help her not to do this thing around you? Ask her how you can help her to do this less or talk with her about it so you can understand why she does this.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Maybe you and your wife should sit down and try discussing both religions and try to see what she finds to be so interesting about that new found religion "your friends" got her into. Also remind her that if your "friends" didn't talk to you guys for a few months or whatever and now are all of a sudden come back and want to hang out all the time there maybe something fishy going on there. You also said that you felt that they were "rubbing you the wrong way". Maybe you should follow your gut feeling. My personal advice would be to be very careful with those "friends". Ten mucho cudado con ellos que siento tranpas. Any questions about my comment e-mail me back. You will work it out, I know you will it's gonna take time.

i am sorry for that, but trust me your not alone, actually we all do get mad with our spouses, you cant avoid it coz we all are humans, and we do or say some things that of course your spouse may not like, and when your in love we tend to get more vulnarable thus getting tipped off easily.

Depends on what the argument is about. If it's politics or something that doesn't actually affect your daily life then you both have to respect the other's opinion but you have to learn that you don't have to agree on everything. On the other hand if it is something that does affect you then you have to discuss it like adults with no mean comments. There may not be a definate right or wrong with the question in which case you have to work together to find something that works for you. Like if she wants to work and you want her to stay at home maybe you could come to the compromise that she works part time instead of full time. Or if one of you wants kids right away and the other doesn't maybe you could make the agreement that you will wait 2 years (just a random number) and then you will definately try.

thank you soo much for your reply.
The funny thing is we agree on politics, the problem now is religian.
ahile ago she told me she wanted to go to shurch, i said ok fine we can go to church and we started attending the church my mm was going to. Now keep in mind that we have some so called "freinds" who we haven;t heard from in months. Now all of a sudden they are hanging out with us and stuff again. And these "freinds" decided to join some church that apparently has no name. they tried to get me to go to it, i said no thank you. then they went behind my back started putting ideas in my wifes head that their newfound religian is the only one that will make her go to heaven and all this noise.
Now keep in mind that i have nothing against ppl who go to church and stuff. But listening to these freinds "preach" is like taking BBQ tips from porky pig. and on top of this all something about their new gfound religian really really rubs me the wrong way, so what the fight boils down do is, i asked her not to go and give my reasons but she doesn't realize that the same way our " freinds" personality has completly change for the worst she will eventually. Me personally i could give a @#$@ about them, the only persona i care about is my wife but she doesn;t listen. And to make matters worse, my "freinds " GF has actually sent my wife text messages putting me and the one holding her back from eternal salvation. So what my disagreement with her comes down to is go to where those two A-holes are going instead of going back to where we were going originally. =O(

Lgorge, what religion was your wife brought up into and what are your "friends" trying to pull her into. You can send me a personal message if you don't really want to discuss it further, but what I know is the journey of a person who is genuinely seeking God and the people who try to lead them onto the wrong paths. If your wife was brought up in Christianity and hasn't really firmly planted her feet in any religion, as many in America have become, you may have to break out the Bible, Lgorge. You may have to debate what she knows in her heart and what her "friends" are trying to sell her. You may have to begin to read the Bible with her, to her and for her to show her the strength in your beliefs that your "friends" are showing in theirs. You may have to begin praying with her, because I would bet they are, and you may have to fight for her, spiritually, lovingly.
The battle of religion is a large one that cannot be won with just some simple words. That is why the Biblical cities have been fighting for so very long about them. Religion is, for most of us, the very place we lay our hearts, even when we don't realize it. It is our foundation, our belief system, our souls are actually invested in it, even though we don't use it every day, it is what has shown us right from wrong every day of our lives.
It's a battle, but not one that cannot be won. "We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to finish." (heb 12:2)
Well, I'll be praying for the two of you.

thanx so much for you kind words. as of right now we have both tried to come up with a comprimise but the one she wants to do only benefits her.
and she says that if she comprimises she will be giving on everything she has been fighting with me about for the past 3 days. Funny thing is that if i do what she suggest as a comprimise it would completely defeat the purpose of what i am suggesting.
