Case 628
I never got along well with my wife because of her bad temper and mine, which is just as bad. We argued a lot. I made the mistake of complaining about my wife to my son from the time he was about ten years old. I said bad things about her, and he just listened, but I didn’t realize the harm that I was doing to him.... Now my son is twenty years old. Recently, [...]
Case 627
[My husband and I got married a few months ago, after three years of courtship.] He spends all his time on his phone. When I wake up in the morning, he is on his mobile phone. We have argued about this, because I don’t like him staying on the phone as if he were not married. We are both jealous, but I am as open as I can be with him, and I feel like [...]
Case 626
I have been separated from the mother of my children for about a year. She took the children to live somewhere else, and that makes me feel very guilty. We lived together for almost nine years and wanted to get married, but something always came up. Since childhood I have visited pornographic websites, and I have brought that sexual immorality into our bedroom. Now I am trying to have a relationship with God, but I [...]
Case 625
My father sexually abused me when I was a child.... Because I am a follower of Christ, I know that we are supposed to forgive. I have done everything I can to forgive, to the extent of attending family gatherings and still treat him as my father. But very often I can’t help but feel revulsion. I don’t want to ever have to see his face again. Would it displease God if I were to [...]

However, after we were married, my wife began to change. She is not as agreeable as she used to be, and she complains about the way that I am. My only concern is my daughter. That’s why I haven’t separated from my wife. I fear [...]
Case 623
My continuous battle has been with my twenty-three-year-old daughter, who will not agree to help around the house. She is an excellent student... but we have constant conflicts because she doesn’t want to do anything except wash her clothes and clean her room. When I ask her to remove her plate from the table, wash the dishes that she used, pick up the shoes she left in the living room, feed the dog, or clean [...]
Case 622
Not long ago I found out that my boyfriend was about to become a father.... He admitted that it was true, but said that he no longer has any relationship with the baby’s mother.... Now the baby has been born and my boyfriend legally acknowledged that he is the father. As pertains to me, he said that he loves me and doesn’t want to lose me because he’s happy being with me. My boyfriend is [...]
Case 621
For four years I had a romantic relationship with a girl, but during the last year I told her that I wanted to keep studying and pursuing a Master’s degree in Administration and another one in Biblical Studies. That bothered her a lot, to the extent of making me choose between her and my studies. However, after a month she told me that God had told her I wasn’t the right person for her, and [...]
Case 620
After finding out that my mom had hidden from me that the man who raised me was not my biological father, my parents forbade me from looking for him. I feel that I need to know him, for I have never felt that I had a father. My sister doesn’t love me because I have a different biological father. I think that I have the right to know him, but my adoptive dad says that [...]
