pgd asked: Isn&#8217;t this asking advice from unqualified people?
Why do Christians (aka the Protestants) allow married ministers to give marital advice to other Christians (aka Protestants)?
Often there are special programs on Valentine&#8217;s Day featuring married Christian ministers (one man to one woman with children).

<div><em><strong>FabulousInIndy</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I asked this question in the Marriage &#038; Divorce section but thought it might help to list it here as well.<br />
My husband and I had very similar views toward religion when we met and throughout the several years that we dated. Now that we are a few years into our marriage we have reached a difficult point where I have grown closer to God and am trying to strengthen my faith and my husband has grown farther from God and less interested in religion. He is no longer interested in even going to church and is basically only agreeing to go because I want him to. We were both raised Protestant Christians and we do not believe in divorce. I know that I can&#8217;t force him to think as I do, but I feel that in many ways being unable to express my beliefs without making him uncomfortable is hurting our marriage. For example&#8230;.suggesting that my husband and I read a daily devotional together makes him feel uncomfortable because he now considers himself more spiritual than religious. I can count on one hand the number of times that he has led a prayer recently and those were generally at my request. Has anyone been through this? It&#8217;s really been weighing down on us and to be honest I worry that I am unable to fulfill what God wants of me because I am having such a difficult time in keeping a God-centered marriage. I love my husband, but I can&#8217;t help but feel that he&#8217;s not the same man I married. I need advice from someone who has been there&#8230;&#8230;please no rude comments, I&#8217;m looking for support. Thank you for your input&#8230;.<br />
&#8220;the light exposes&#8230;&#8221;<br />
i apologize if this seemed like a rant against my husband&#8230;.i most certainly do pray for him and i was not attempting to make him seem like a bad person or to disrespect him, i was just trying to paint as accurate a picture as possible so as to get good advice.  i&#8217;m sure you understand.<br/><br/><a href='http://mycaffeinatedcontent.com'>Caffeinated Content</a></div>

<div><em><strong>cowboys2840</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I am need of christian marriage advice. My wife and I have been apart going on 4 months, she left by her choice and moved out the house. There was no physical or emontional abuse, she left because she feels that she does not know who she is a person. She tells me she loves me but is no longer in love me. I still care and love her, but at same time, it hard when she does not share the same feelings. I told her I would like to work on the marriage, but she cannot decide what she wants. It is hard living in this limbo state, I am keeping my self busy with work, church, prayer, and taking care of child. My question, do I wait for her to make a decision to end it or make it work. Or do I need to make a decision?<br/><br/><a href='http://mycaffeinatedcontent.com'>Website content</a></div>

<p>None of them have any wives or successful relationships with women, so why don&#8217;t they just admit they are not the best person to come to for this advice.  How can they possibly expect to have any moral authority on how all the dynamics of a marriage relationship works?<br/><br/><a href='http://kansieo.com'>Kansieo.com</a></div>
