Who ho chaps ?

My MB service is a community service not a bible bashing thing.
Its delivered through the church but to anyone who wants to come. You don't have to be a member of our little church.

We target the local estates for folks to come and strengthen their marriages.

My next session booking sheet has 4 church couples, some newlyweds, an Indian couple and 2 couples from the estate I haven't met yet.

Relate is shocking in my experience although Top Rope on these boards found their approach useful for her WH.

You're providing a wonderful service, Bob.

Why don't we defend marriage any more? I did not do so publicly until I started reading here. If I was in a discussion I would go along with the view that marriage was a personal whim based on one's wish to declare mad, irrational love. It was not a social issue, or something that was good for individuals, couples, children and society.

I believe more in marriage now than on the day I got married. I find it staggering that I got married understanding so little about what I was committing to.

I've read your Relate experience and the shocking fact you found out about your local counsellor, but for those who have not obsessively read through old posts as I have, would you mind summarising it again? Thanks.

Hi Sugarcane,

lovely to meet you

I can see a bit of difference in my clothes but its early days yet, i am committed though to losing this weight this year Please God. I never really understood EN before but after reading the love languages and His Needs Her Needs it jumped off the page at me. Many times down through the years when i would lose weight my husband would be delighted and introducing me as his gorgeous wife (he's full of it) :RollieEyes: to people we would meet, so i now realise that this was important to him that i look good but i couldnt see this and used to say to myself, to hell with him, he should love me whatever way i look.

Now he doesnt give a toss how i look and doesnt comment at all if i look nice but i dont care, i am going to push on and lose it for myself, if he softens towards me along the way then great, but if he doesnt its full steam ahead anyway

Well done Gabzz.


Just keep thinking of all those new clothes you'll need

Let H know you're looking forward to him picking out some new outfits for you and buying you some new underwear

Do you think we could have an MB conference/social/support group meeting?

Hmmm. I'll think about that, st. I suspect that the anonymity of this board is what makes me want to come here.

Supoose we didn't like each other in real life??!!
