Christian, husband, and father. In that order. I dabble in apologetics, blacksmithing, hunting, fishing, and woodworking.

Disgraceful. Just go ahead and change your party to the uniparty. All of you clowns are in on it together. None of you represent the people. These decisions have consequences and if you think we will be subjugated without consequences, you’re sadly mistaken. Either get this passed or there will be a reckoning.

Every senator will soon be on the record with an up-or-down vote so the American people can know exactly where they stand on voter ID. I don’t know how Democrats will be able to explain being against commonsense voter ID requirements, but I can’t wait to hear them try.

Early on it’s difficult. You don’t know one another very well and most of us haven’t learned to disagree in a mature way. We were just 21 when we married and had only known each other 6 months prior. So we fought like cats and dogs at first. I was like your boyfriend where I would lash out and be cruel with my words. Two things helped me stop that very quickly. First, I knew I wanted to spend my life with my wife. I knew she was my person and I didn’t want to hurt or lose her. The second was she talked to me about it when we weren’t fighting. I had grown up in a home where yelling matches and saying vile things to one another were common so I didn’t fully understand how hurtful my words were until she explained it to me. Because of that, I made a serious effort to do better. I would still fail on occasion but it eventually reached a point where it completely stopped. Here’s my advice for young people. Ask yourself if you’re dating for marriage or not. Then ask if this person is someone you see a future with. Next you’ll have to ask them the same if you’re wanting it be serious. If not, then neither of you will be happy for very long. If both of you want that commitment, then you have to put in the work. If either or both remain stagnant and don’t mature, the relationship is likely doomed. It takes real effort and it’s hard, especially early on. That effort is so worth it though if you’re equally yoked.

@IronBullForge76 @ThinkInPeach How do you manage arguments? I’m curious because I’m in a relationship were my bf tends to get angry and disrespects me and hurts me with words. I never do that. And sometimes he just leaves when I ask him to come back to talk to me he just leaves.

I've been married 5 years. Still married because we treat these like law: • Bed is for sleep and sex only • No phones in bedroom • Kids asleep? We talk. 5 mins or 3 hours. Doesn't matter. We talk • Pray together before sleep • We eat every meal together • No screens when eating • And we never, and I mean NEVER criticize each other in public Your marriage is your son's blueprint, and your daughter's standard.

I was a porn addict. Watched hardcore porn nearly everyday and was always looking at pg porn on social media. It took a terrible toll on me and my marriage that I hadn’t even noticed until later. That ended the day i surrendered to Christ. By His grace, I haven’t watched it since. Christ saved me in every way possible.

This is the pastor Pete Hegseth brought into the Pentagon during working hours to lead a prayer service. Will Hegseth disavow him now? Of course not, because Hegseth is a fanatical Christian nationalist.

Being a good Christian woman, I dunno that I can add anything that you’re not aware of but here are some things that work for us. Communication. Not just day to day stuff, although that’s important too. But more importantly is that it’s a safe place to talk about the positives and negatives of your marriage. It’s important that both feel heard. Also, big decisions need to be made jointly, set goals, etc. Grace. Cannot be overstated enough. We are flawed humans who will say and do things that we wish we wouldn’t. When our partner grieves us, we must be gracious. Effort. Everyday requires effort. Both must continue to do the work required to make the house run, get the bills paid but also to make each other happy. It’s never ending. Realky you don’t want it to end, each day will start with “how can I be a better husband?” Or “how can I make his day better?” Selflessness. You have to serve one another. Both of you put the others needs ahead of your own. Fun. You really want to be each others best friends and have fun together. Like when you’re dating. Laugh, be silly, do things together that you both like, etc. Even if that just means sending each other silly videos or watching tv together at home. Enjoy spending time with one another. Sex. He needs to help her feel loved, desired, appreciated, and respected so she’s available. He needs it to feel loved and desired. Most men, physical touch is our love language. This is more important as you get older and your relationship can feel more like best friends than spouses. It’s a wonderful reminder of your union as one flesh. Remember the order of things. God, then your spouse, then everything else. These are just a few and likely things you’re already doing or aware of. The main thing is to out each other first in all that you do and love each other with patience and grace.

5 years is basically newlyweds. I’ve been happily married 28 years. We’ve raised 4 awesome children into adulthood. The secret? There isn’t one, just like there isn’t one specific way to stay happily married. There are some commonalities to successful marriages though. Compromise. This is especially important early on until the two of you know one another completely. Selflessness. Each must put the others needs in front of their own. Communication. Not just talking to each other but being sure to express both positive and negatives safely to one another. Nothing should be hidden between you either. Effort. This never stops. Both will need to show up everyday and put in effort for each other. The other stuff listed is what works for them in their situation. It’s not a blueprint for everyone.

He didn’t say she was a ho. Promiscuous in the biblical sense is any extra marital sex. He didn’t give any details beyond that. You’re reading into what he said. Testimonies are powerful and Christian’s are called to share them. They glorify God. As far as lopsided, this post was about how God redeemed her. It wasn’t about him.

So tell everyone your wife was a ho, is a good idea. No sir. You would not do so... If she repents and sins no more, why does he share what the Lord no longer remembers or holds against her? Having a testimony is beautiful, sharing this personal detail is shaming. He speaks not of his sins...that's lopsided.

Imagine thinking ‘my wife was promiscuous, I was a virgin’… and hitting post anyway. 😂
Trevor Sheatz@TrevorSheatz

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

Pharisees. You pit of vipers. You white-washed tomb full of dead men’s bones. Get off Twitter. Get on your face before God and beg that He doesn’t withhold grace from you the way you withhold grace from others.

If you understood how wicked your own sin was, how undeserving of grace you were, how much your righteousness stunk like used menstrual rags to God’s nose, You wouldn’t have time to worry about someone else’s sin. And you’d be willing extend grace to any sinner that repents

@JesseHughes Testimonies are powerful and should be shared. Doesn’t matter where. You don’t need to go into specific details but sharing the power of Gods Grace might help someone come to Christ. It’s for His glory, not for you.

I asked my fiancée earlier this evening if she would ever want me posting information about her past sins and mistakes, no matter what they were, on Twitter. She said no. “Even if you had discussed it previously in a public setting?” Still no.

@JesseHughes Even if she said yes, you shouldn't. Part of loving your wife is not subjecting her to public shame and ridicule even if she'd be willing to do it to herself.

@Elliesmommyy23 That is sickening. They’re not Christian’s if they’re talking like that. I’m sorry you had to endure that today. I’ll pray for you. I will also pray that they repent and truly surrender to Christ. They need more Jesus in their lives.

I don’t like to say people aren’t christians because I don’t know them or their hearts But the discernment I have given by God and knowing people’s fruits A lot are calling themselves Christian are not. The way I’ve been spoken to today because Jesus is Grace is … scary

“Don’t share your spouses testimony” My husband came from an addicted and broken home…He learned a lot about drugs and started drinking and smoking at 12 years old. He was also left in an abandoned house with his sister for weeks at a time as an elementary age child. He was made fun of for being the dirty smelly kid, got in trouble a lot and had a lot of issues. …when he left the military he became a heroin addict on skid row in LA and went to jail for drugs plenty before going to 30 detoxes and rehabs up and down the state of CA… to no avail. Tried all the religions and false gods to call his higher power and they had NO power. THE ONE TRUE GOD JESUS CHRIST made him clean in an instant after he got on his knees and begged the Lord to make him clean and save him.. he felt the weight of his sin and the holiness of God and dropped to his knees…. His Bible opened right up to this verse 👇🏻 Mark 1:40-41 A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” He’s never used again…he’s patient and kind … a wonderful foster father and husband .. a man who submits to Christ. We will share our testimony as a one flesh union any time we can. He’s free to share mine and vice versa. The one thing he wouldn’t do as a man of God is shame anyone for their testimony because he has been forgiven much as has his wife! GLORY TO GOD.
