Twenty years ago my husband lost his job, and we went through a time of great need. We had three children: a two-year-old girl, a one-year-old girl, and a newborn baby boy. I got very depressed, as my children were very active and demanding. In a moment of anger, I cursed my oldest daughter. Since [...]
I work in a supermarket packing groceries. It is a temporary job while I am studying toward my university degree. Yesterday an obnoxious man started arguing with me about the way that I packed his groceries. I answered him back respectfully, but apart from who was right, the guy insulted me. My reaction was to [...]
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 am a twenty-eight-year-old man with hopes and dreams of having a family and a wife to love and respect in the way that God has taught a man to love his wife. I have a precious girlfriend that I met a little over a year ago.... When I was a child my mother abused [...]

I am twenty-nine years old and have fought to make my marriage work in spite of various difficulties. About fourteen months ago, my husband and I accepted Christ as our personal Savior, and that has been a big blessing in my home. My husband has changed a lot for the good, but there are still [...]
I am quick-tempered, and I know it. I get upset over anything that I feel offends me or I see is not right or fair. I raise my voice a lot when I am irritated. I do it because I think people will understand me that way. But the only thing I accomplish is to [...]
What I wanted most in life was to have a wife who would be God’s will for me. But God didn’t give me the person [or, woman] that I chose, and I had to watch her be with another guy.... Some time after that, I started living in sin with a woman whom I felt [...]
