I am a twenty-one year old mother and I have no experience in how to discipline my twenty-month-old son. I also have a seven-month-old baby girl.... At times I feel out of control, screaming at him exasperated because he is rambunctious and gets into everything. My husband has chosen to use the belt on him, [...]
I am thirty years old. A month ago I reconnected with my first girlfriend, who lives in another city. She has two children with an unmarried partner, but six years ago that relationship began to fall apart when her first child was born. Then he was unfaithful to her while she was pregnant with her [...]
For years I have struggled with the memories of the arguments my parents used to have. My mother was the victim of my father’s temper and foul language.... I am now married and have three children, and have to admit that I have failed, in that I am repeating the same pattern with my wife. [...]
I work from Monday to Friday from 5:00 AM until 6:00 or 8:00 PM. My wife is an independent salesperson who leaves the house to charge her accounts two nights a week.... But she also goes to church two days a week, and that bothers me and makes me angry because it leaves very little [...]
Two years ago I fell in love with a twenty-seven-year-old man. He had a wife and children, and I was only fourteen.... We were expecting a baby, but two days before our son was born, that man died tragically: he was murdered.... I couldn’t go to the burial because no one knew that I even [...]

I have a problem that affects my wife. She is a good wife, but sometimes I talk back and sometimes I don’t want to talk at all. Last week I disrespected her in front of her parents, and she got very angry. I have asked for forgiveness, but she says that she can’t take any [...]
Three months ago, I began a romantic relationship with a guy that I have known for four years.... A month later, I found out that he is going to have a baby with his ex-girlfriend. They weren’t getting along (because of a lack of understanding), so he decided to end it without knowing that she [...]
I have been married for sixteen years, and my wife and I have two beautiful daughters. About ten months ago, when my wife and I were about to separate... I met a twenty-six-year-old woman and fell madly in love with her. I told her that I was going to leave my wife in order to [...]
After a two-and-a-half-year courtship, I have been engaged for four months to a very good man. But our relationship has been on-again, off-again. We have ended it each time because I have felt that I don’t love him as much as he loves me…. A year ago I met another man at work... and we [...]
