I've been wanting to explore the issue of abandonment for several months now, because it seems to be an issue that comes up again and again during the WifeBoat Support Groups. Here's Part I of a guest post I did for my husband's blog, JoeDallasOnline.com. Look for Part II next week, when I address how to move from fear-based relating to more a God-centered and secure way of dealing with fear of abandonment. Blessings, R. Left Behind: The Problem Can you imagine a little girl raised in poverty because her father squandered the family Continue Reading

What the Heck Was He Thinking?
I think this post on a husband's mind set will help some of you ladies understand how a guy--a Christian guy no less -- can get in so over his head with the use of porn, and other sexual sins.

Anthony Weiner and the State of Men
Anthony Weiner has recently indicated that he will be getting help to deal with his sexual issues, and for that, well... I'm glad. He seems to have employed the "Chineese water torture" method of disclosure that my husband often talks about when he's counseling men about what not to do. But at least now, it all out in the open. Many of you have questions about what to expect when someone decides to get help for this, and for an intellegent discussion on this, I'd recommend that you read my husband's blog post Congressman Weiner Seeks Help Continue Reading

Someone To Walk Beside You
Join me for our next WifeBoat Online Support Group Starting Tuesday nights: March 15th - May 17th I've had many women ask me how they could possibly cope after finding out the devastating news that their husband had been using pornography, having an affair or feeling homosexual attractions. These grieving wives have often felt there was no place to turn to talk safely and openly about what they were dealing with. Family, friends, and career concerns have been some of the reasons why. That's why I started the WifeBoat Online Support Continue Reading
