I've just finished re-reading Marriage on the Rock by Jimmy Evans. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Marriage-Rock-Gods-Design-Dream/dp/0964743507/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325267635&sr=8-2 This book elucidates male/female needs in a way that each can understand. The advice to wives I find difficult if not impossible to accept. Nonetheless, there is a lot of good, Biblically based advice that is probably more applicable to marriages that are in trouble, but still viable. My husband understood this when he read it. So, ladies, if nothing else, it explains our needs in a way that even a man can understand.

Hi DW, as far as I understand the problems between the genders are not so much about genders as it is about heart/ inner man. I guess that people independent of gender, if they don't understand each other, they might still be able to love each other? I guess it is not so much about understanding as it is a matter of the heart? When that said, I believe that are differences between people and that men and women should have different tasks/ jobs/ duties. My best

Hi Need2BFree, No, no better, probably worse. My husband lost his job right before Thanksgiving. So, I'm married to an unemployed, alcoholic sex addict who seems content to be a house boy. I have no idea how my life got to this place. Despite the Prozac, I'm really down in the dumps. I worry about money constantly. I can't live the rest of my life like this. My best, DW

Hi DW, So sorry to hear that your spouse is now unemployed. It sounds like he has become more dependent on you so he can.force you to stay with him. Because I am realizing although these men have beyrayed us and show us no respect or love, affection or kindness, they are completely attached to us! My spouse is the same way, the more I get healthy and prepare myself for my feeedom the more sullen and pouty he becomes. All of his actions said I dont love you, he even told me he had a.crush on the woman at his work, but me leave him??? He acts like an abandoned child. It makes it hard to get my freedom. My plan is to try and minister to him to get him strong enough to be in his own place. Thankfully he soes still have his work. I will be praying for you DW. Try not to be engulfed by his problems. Focus on you and your work, Friends, health and fun. He has to fix his own problems. All the best, need2befree

Yes, he has to fix his own problems or take responsibility, be willing himself or whatever, I think. Actually I think nobody can fix their own problems without help, but I think no other person can fix me or fix other. That's a lie, I have a feeling of.
