My husband and I a part of the same faith and church but grew up in different countries. In his local church Christmas or Easter, originating in paganism, shouldn’t be celebrated. I was raised believing differently based on Paul’s biblical teachings. On Easter, my husband asked us to stay home and worship online because of the minister’s sermons about holidays. I went to church. Spouse is upset. I’m conflicted b/c of Bible: not to forsake church assembly vs submitting to spouse. What to do?

We talked to different church elders and leaders but some have shared differing views based on country of origin. Neither of us is convicted to believe otherwise based on our own studies.

Can you expound on Paul’s biblical teachings? Just curious

During the pandemic I dove into my self care (found a therapist, learned I was having seizures and got on meds for that). My journey has been difficult and not pretty to watch. Somewhere along the line I feel like my fiancé saw too much. I no longer feel like romantic parters and instead feel like we have a “caretaker/patient” type relationship. I don’t feel sexy or attractive anymore. I talked to him about this and he feels bad. But I feel guilty for bringing it up. Anyone else had this issue?

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
