Question

My husband had a daughter with his first wife, who he didn’t get to see him much when she was a child except for holidays and a month during the summer. As an adult she was a successful professional and was responsible in virtually every area of her life. We saw her less often due to distance but found out she was in a troubled...

Question

We have a daughter who is getting serious with a man who doesn’t share the same beliefs she was raised with. She tells me that she’s started to question some of the ways she was raised and what she believes about God and our church. Naturally, she has found a fellow who agrees with her, and the relationship is becoming serious. We...

Question

My husband and I are both over 70 now, and our intimacy is all over. He stays on the computer so much and doesn’t even get to a point to function correctly anymore. He even sleeps in a chair and not in the bed with me! I am not sure if I should try to show more affection or not? So should I just give up? And how do I still show that I...

Question

My boyfriend and I have been together for only a bit over a year. We have a very strong relationship and share mostly all of the same values. We have different political views, which I feel I can accept, but the conversation came up about the LGBTQ community, and my boyfriend told me he doesn’t believe that being gay or trans is normal...

How do I move forward when I worked so hard for the last few years trying to fix things but they...

Question

My husband of 26 years left me right before COVID hit hard. He completely abandoned me. There were no calls or texts for six months. I filed for divorce, and he got served and started (with a fight) spousal support. Two payments later he’s now been back for a few months.

He says it’s a midlife crisis (he’s in his early 50s)....

Question

I am married to a wonderful husband. We were married for 10 years before we had children, and it was wonderful. He really is my favorite person and a good man. The problem is, he is not a very good parenting partner.

We have five small children, and I am a stay-at-home mom. I always dreamed of this, and I would not change it for anything in...

Question

My husband and I have been together nine years. We were both married before and ended up cheating on our spouses, which is how we ended up together. Even though we both regret doing that to our families, all of these years later, we’re happy together and have a good marriage. We’ve tried to make amends with his children, but they...

Question

My granddaughter-in-law’s mother has multiple sclerosis and is fairly home bound. Our family does lots of things together. We alternate holidays so she spends every other one with her mother. She is an only child as her father died young.

I feel so bad for her mother being on her own. I always invite her to come share in the fun, but...
