Case 339
My wife and I have been together for three years, and we have a two-year-old daughter. We were so happy! Our marriage didn’t have any problems at all. She was very thoughtful. But in the last few weeks she has been acting very differently toward me.... I discovered that she has been unfaithful to me with a man from her workplace. I couldn’t believe it! She said that I had changed and was no longer [...]
Case 338
I am thirty years old, and I think that since childhood I have always been able to accomplish anything that I set my mind to. The downside is that sometimes, when playing games, I tried to take advantage of others by making up “fuzzy” rules, confusing the other players into compliance. Today, as I look back, I sadly realize that my pattern of taking unfair advantage of people has continued all the way into [...]
Case 337
I am a sixteen-year-old girl, and for as long as I can remember, my family has had a lot of problems because of my father.... He was unfaithful to my mother..., he insults me using very foul language, and he is very selfish. My mother takes care of all of us. She basically is both mother and father to us. I haven’t had good communication with my father for the past two years because I [...]
Case 336
I did some very bad things on Facebook that I am sorry for. I lost the trust of my parents as well as some other people. Now I want to regain their trust. I already closed my Facebook account, but my parents still don’t trust me. I am a fifteen-year-old girl, and now is when I want to have good healthy fun, but those problems affected many aspects of my life, so much so that [...]
Case 335
I have had a boyfriend for nine years, and I love him very much, which is why I think I put up with so much. I have had problems with his mother over insignificant issues.

He lives with one of them, [...]
Case 334
I am twenty-one years old. I got married when I was eighteen, and now I am falling in love with another girl that I met online. I left my wife and don’t want to go back to her.

Case 333
My wife will not stop watching soap operas on television. She even imagines that she is one of the main characters! It seems like really weird behavior to me. We want peace, love, and for God to bless and even prosper us. But I think her attitude is counterproductive. Dear Friend, A number of years ago, the morals of the characters in soap operas were the worst that you could find on television. But now [...]
Case 332
I have been verbally and physically abused since the time of my marriage eighteen years ago.... When I met my husband, he was a deacon, and sometime later he became the pastor; but that didn’t stop him from beating me until I had bruises all over my body and was bleeding. One time I lost consciousness because he tried to strangle me, and recently he did it again. Since my husband is the pastor, I [...]
Case 331
My husband and I have two children, a nineteen-year-old son and a seven-year-old daughter. My son came home drunk. I served his dinner, and he began to eat with his hands. I brought it to his attention and he reacted badly, to the extent that he wanted to attack me. My husband told him to behave himself.... On hearing this, our son threatened us by drawing back his arms (as if to hit us.) Our [...]
