Case 747
I have a question. I would like to be happily married and have a family that honors God. But how am I going to be able to identify the person that God has for me? How am I going to know if I’m about to make a bad decision? I believe that God has a special person for every human being, because God didn’t design us to be alone. Dear Friend, We’re glad you are [...]

Case 745
Twenty years ago I lived with my parents. They didn’t get along. My mother was sick, and I cared for her. My father had a second family, and he told me to leave the house because, if I didn’t, he would.

I am the friend of a young woman who is twenty-seven years old. She has two daughters. We agreed to be housemates, living together only as friends, but I soon regretted that decision because we are not a couple.

Case 743
Four months ago I met a twenty-seven-year-old woman, and I like her a lot. She has suffered a great deal.

She says that she loves me, but can’t show it because her heart won’t let her. It hurts me to see her [...]
Case 742
In my almost thirty years of life, I have had two romantic relationships, but both were disasters. I suffered humiliations, mockery, lies, and deception. After the last relationship, I went to therapy a couple of times. Both men have moved on to new relationships, and... I can’t help feeling angry to see they’re apparently happy with someone else. I am a professional woman, independent, honest, and friendly, but this has made me question [...]
Case 741
I’ve been feeling very depressed lately. I have a job that pays me well, but I don’t have time for myself. I’d like to have time to go out, have a boyfriend, and start a family, but I am afraid because there are no good men anymore. I need to have my own family. I’d like to be a mother and not to end up alone, but also not to have to settle for a [...]
Case 740
I am sixty-seven years old and have been married more than forty years. I’ve made many mistakes that I’m sorry for, especially for having been unfaithful to my wife on several occasions. I’m aware of the harm that I’ve caused and of having hurt my wife, my daughters, and my son. I don’t want to lose my family, much less be lost myself. My hope is in the mercy of my Lord Jesus Christ. Dear [...]
