Depression / Anxiety / Panic|

I am emotionally messed up.... I’m twenty-eight years old and feel devastated because of realizing that I wasted all my youth.... Many people have successful lives by my age.

I’ve thought that maybe all my [...]

Absentee Parents, Romantic Relationships / Courtship (Pre-marital)|

While planning to leave my boyfriend because of his behavior with other women on social media, I found out that I was pregnant. I sought God’s guidance, we talked with our mentors, and they advised him that, if he truly loved me, he needed to change. So he committed to change, and we made plans to get married. But once again, I caught him sending friend requests to other women, and I’m now being humiliated [...]

Marriage (Conflicts/Insults), Work|

I am twenty-six and my wife is thirty. These years have been difficult due to financial problems. I have struggled multiple times to find a job because I don’t yet have a university degree, and that has been a big issue in our relationship.

Marriage (Indifference/Expression of Affection)|

I’ve been married for eighteen years. I got married because I got pregnant when I was twenty-five years old. During the first four years, my husband would go out partying on weekends and come home late and drunk. He has been very irresponsible with our finances. He’s rude, he uses swear words when he speaks to me, and he calls me fat and ugly. I feel burdened down and like I don’t love him anymore. [...]

My husband is a very hardworking man. Over the years, he has managed to build his own business and acquire several beautiful properties. I married him for love, but I feel very hurt because we signed a prenuptial agreement in which I renounced all my rights as a wife. He has a five-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. Not long ago we talked about this matter, and he made it clear to me that everything [...]

Guilt|

When I was twenty years old, I would go to church and feel moved by the worship songs, but I was living a life that was not pleasing to God.

Even though I asked God for forgiveness and six years have already passed, my conscience still makes me feel guilty. I don’t know if I have [...]

My youngest daughter who is sixteen started having sexual relations with her boyfriend. I had told her to be careful to protect her purity.... But I was able to see messages with her boyfriend on her phone, and found out that she was lying when she would ask for my permission. Instead of doing what she had told me, she was going out with her twenty-one-year-old boyfriend and being sexually intimate with him. I want [...]

Lying, Romantic Relationships / Courtship (Pre-marital)|

I dated a woman for two years and, although we did not get engaged, we were intimate. During that time, I also had sexual relations with prostitutes… but I never told my girlfriend because I knew it would hurt her deeply. Due to the guilt I feel, I decided to end the relationship because I think I don’t deserve her. Now she is asking me to come back. I’ve distanced myself from God, and I [...]
