He got a new car. Man, that’s nice. And look at my piece of junk. Her house is so big and so beautiful. All I can afford is this tiny little apartment. Look at his muscles. I bet he uses steroids. She just got engaged and she’s not even that spiritual. I haven’t had a…
Just seeing the title of today’s post was painful for many of you. You were in a marriage that was destroyed by adultery. Or you were the one who helped instigate the divorce by getting involved with a married person and later regretted it. Sadly, you are not alone: statistics for those admitting having cheated…
My friend, there will be enemies. No matter how nice and positive and friendly you are, there will be people who do not like you for whatever reason. And each enemy can be used in your life to prepare you for marriage, believe it or not! Here we go… There are different kinds of enemies.…
