38 years...that's awesome! I'm hoping mine lasts, too. So far, so good. :) We work at it, though.

There seem to be more of THEM than us..........but TOUGH on them.
I consider myself to be a very tolerant and compassionate kind of a gal, and most people who know me would agree. With that said, I have no tolerance or compassion for those who will treat others as sub-human for whatever reason, but most especially upon so-called "Christian" reasoning. The very last thing they are is anything resembling a Christian.

It takes work and love and patience. LOL
You know that old saw about marriage being 50/50? It isn't...it's 100/100! If each of you give the other 100%,then you NEVER have to think of yourself. :-)

My sister-in-law just told me today that she's leaving my brother. As hard as it is for me to accept, I don't blame her one single bit. Sometimes, it's just inevitable and it cannot be fixed. I'm so sad right now. For her. She tried so hard.

Exactamundo! LOL. Plus, it means you don't waste time trying to "change" someone else. I had to learn that the hard way, though. But learn I did, and I am grateful. :)

To me, it's one of the saddest things I've seen around here. No wonder there are so many that won't believe in God, because these are the type of people who get the ink, and so come to represent most Christians by default.

"Sad, isn't it? Jesus taught to love the sinner and hate the sin, but a lot of folks have trouble separating the two. Myself included, sometimes. :(
No one is perfect, except those who pretend to be the keepers of the light. Everyone has to live with their choices and pay the piper when their time comes. I've always been told that if you repent, ask for forgiveness, God will forgive your sins.

I don't think that there are more of THEM...they just post far too much to FR! LOL
I'm still waiting for an answer about how Jews' and other non-Christians' marriages being the "mirror image of Christ's love for the church"! :-)
To: Ginifer
Problem is, for some folks, you can never repent enough. It's a good thing for us that they aren't the ones who get to judge whether or not you truly repent...or I'd have a personalized seat in the Hot Place. LOL

If someone marries a man/woman with the thought that that person "will change",that marriage is doomed!
To: cicero's_son
So you would live with a drug-addicted, homicidal maniac simply because they exhibited no signs of that behaviour when you selected them to be your spouse? Your commitment to a marriage cannot be borne out by yourself and if your spouse abaondons the basis of love upon which it is framed, how can you keep your commitment? No one is wise enough to make a perfect choice and some are not wise enough to make even acceptable choices. Should they be forced to live with a physical threat because they lack wisdom or came to it late? Seems wrong in a very obvious way.
To: nopardons
Thank goodness I never had any ideas of changing his habits until after we got married. Of course, since we didn't live together before we got married, I had no idea what some of his habits were, lol.
Finally decided that the problem was mine and dealt with it. There were a couple of things that were not, but he took it like a man, and undertook to fix those things. We both ended up happy, lol.

I need to make a reservation....could I please have a seat near the window? LOL!
According to some individuals, we are going be be awfully crowded down there. I'm bringing the wine, you can bring a selection of your choosing. With all the "heathens" on this post, we should be able to throw quite a party.

Whew! All of this fire and brimstone from the Judge Others crowd has made me thirsty for a beer!
Maybe I'll make it a Handsome Devil Belgian Ale, from Beer Works Brewing.
Or maybe an Old Devil ale from Wychwood Brewery.....
Can I hang out with you guys all the time on the holier-than-thou threads?
Howlin, THIS is the ping list you should create - The Holier-Than-Thou Ping List.........
To: exnavychick
To me it's more scary than sad, because as you say they are the ones that get the ink and give the rest of us a bad name.

I wondered about that, too. :) Doesn't seem fair to keep such knowlege from sinners like us, does it?

I never lived with my husband before we got married,but somehow we managed to know each other well enough,so that there really weren't horrendous surprises when we did marry. Maybe it's just that we manage to put up with each other's idiosyncrasies. LOL

"There seem to be more of THEM than us..........but TOUGH on them. "
I don't think that there are more of them, just that they are more radical, vicious, and judgmental than the rest of us. I think if you look through the post, you will see that there are less of them. It's only that once they smell blood in the water, they attack and gang up on one or two individuals. They think this will "convert" you and you will see the "light". It's one thing to be religious and pious, it's another to to clobber people over the head with your bible.
