Quote:

Titus 2:3-5
3 Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking, but teaching what is good. 4 In this way they will train the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God may not be discredited.

Welcome to the Women's Discussion Room.

Here is the place that we women can come to share our joys and sorrows, triumphs and failures, and the knowledge we have gained as we walk with the Lord. It is also the place where we safely ask questions concerning anything that pertains to our walk so that we may continue to grow.

It is my prayer that those of us who are older (at least in our faith) will be able to assist those of us who are a little younger and share our experiences. Although it is good to learn by making our own mistakes sometimes it is better to learn from someone who has "been there, done that".

With Bible.org's launch of it's new Women's Ministry Super Category I see an increase in the number of Women here at our forums. Please continue to keep this forum and Bible.org in your prayers as we reach the world for Christ.

If you are not already a member of our Women's Forums you will not be able to access the private area for more personal women's discussion. To participate in these forums you will need to join the "Women's Discussion Group" via your User Control Panel, simply select the group and click submit.

Please feel free to start a thread or join in the discussions that are already in place. If you have any suggestions, comments, or problems please do not hesitate to let me know. Feel free to either send me a pm or an e-mail. If you send an e-mail just put "Women's Forum" in the subject line this will prevent it from going to my bulk mail folder!

You may also contact our Women's Ministry Moderator "dcljoy" if you need any assistance.

Any gentlemen while we appreciate the fact that you want to help when reading items in this public area of the garden we would like to request that you please stay on the path and out of the flowers and vegetables. If you have something to add that you think would be beneficial please send a note to Dinah (dcljoy) and she'll think about it. Thanks for your understanding.

My dh is 48 and it seems like he has been going through a bit of a mid-life crisis for years now. Some of the issues have been harmful to our marriage, and some, like his latest faze of growing his hair long, harmless. Either way, I am waiting for it to all end!

Any advice, comments and thoughts from other married women who have been here appreciated.

it can be a hard time both for your husband and for you .....

Mid-life crisis usually begins when suddenly he (and she) realizes that he is no longer young, that he is at least half-way through his life, and that he will probably not fulfil his dreams and/or ambitions.

At this point a lot of men start to dress like a much younger man etc., often buy a sports car ..... and sadly, often get a young girlfriend....

All of which puts severe stress on a marriage - especially the last, because often we are feeling many of the same things, and the wrinkles are starting to show, and we realize all too well, that we cannot compete with a teenaged girl in the beauty (or hot sex) stakes.

The underlying factor is depression ... which they may or may not admit to. If it gets really severe (and they get suicidal) then urgent medical help is needed.

I finally got my husband to the doctor, but the anti-depressants did not agree with him. Fortunately, he agreed to take "St.John's Wort" which is a herbal anti-depressant, and they work well for him - he varies the dose according to need (btw ... found that taking them at night was not good, but morning and during the day was fine).

The other thing is, if your sexual relationship has stopped, and this is unusual for your husband, then you may have to seduce him (as often as needed).

It is a hard time, but with a lot of love, as much laughter as you can arrange, and much, much prayer it can be lived through.

blessings my sister

Dinah
