					Question: Dear Sir? I am 
					never sexually satisfied with my wife. I’ve tried all I 
					could to seduce her to have sex. She is either too busy, or 
					there is some physical or emotional problem. We certainly 
					have a serious conflict here. Help! Help! Answer: Dear 
					sexually-troubled husband: Meeting each other’s sexual needs 
					in a relationship is often a challenge to couples. 
					Sometimes, however, it is just a matter of understanding 
					each other and a willingness to talk frankly about it. As we 
					are about to begin a new millennium, we should re-examine 
					our married lives and the way we treat each other. . .

					entire article | Getting Married for the Wrong Reasons 
					Do we have to get married to be 
					somebody? Do we have to get married to be emotionally 
					fulfilled? Do we have to get married to gain spiritual favor 
					with God? The answer to all of these questions is no. Then 
					why are so many people getting married as if it is going out 
					of style? It is my gut feeling that a significant number of 
					individuals are seeking marriage for the wrong reasons. 
					Believe it or not, they are not all together to blame.   
					Parents and guardians often help create the mind-set in our 
					youth that life isn’t fulfilling without marriage. This 
					starts from the cradle when the mother holds her son in her 
					arms and repeatedly pronounces these unfortunate words . . .

					entire article | Why should I not have sex before marriage? 
					It is really wise to expect that 
					one should not have sex before marriage? Yes! Because the 
					same problems that existed years ago in marriage because of 
					premarital sex, still exist today. It is also true that 
					there are many who are remaining virgins until marriage and 
					are happy they made that choice. Below you will read many 
					other reasons one should remain sexually abstinent until 
					marriage. Most of the information below are by Josh 
					McDowell, from his book “Why Wait” along with some of my 
					own. . .

					What I Like About Teenagers | 
					
					The Butterfly Principle 
					Do you know why a butterfly would 
					land on your hands when you hold it out? According to my 
					research it is because butterflies are attracted to moisture 
					particles on your hands. Some experts say that if you put 
					water sweetened with sugar on your hands, butterflies will 
					come to drink the water. It is all about the moisture. I 
					would like to use this as an allegory to illustrate how 
					loving relationships work.  If the “butterflies” around 
					you are not landing on your “hands,” it might be due to the 
					lack of “moisture” on your hands.” The “butterflies” 
					represent the people you come in contact with each day.
