Floridamama - Talk to us, if you feel like it, about your faith and your husband's faith.

There IS a huge difference in your ages, experience, and how you each "see" your needs at this point in your lives. A large factor in this will be one's relationship with Christ and the willness, or unwilingness, to be in submission to the Lord's commands.

So if you can clarify the "faith side" of your marriage it may help in offering some advice and suggestions on improving your marriage.

If it helps, my own parents are about 12 years apart in age. My mother was 18 and my father almost 30 when they married. That was 55 years ago and they are still together, 5 children later and still in love. So it CAN be done.

Such an age difference, especially when one is so young, like yourself, is a potential problem in large part because one of you is just coming out of childhood and one of you is "settling into" a more defined set of thoughts and behaviors....in short, the "wild hair" is settling down.

All that aside, though, you are where you are TODAY. So let's focus on the status of things today, and see where the Lord might lead us.

God bless.
