    christmas

    I totally agree @Lynx and @ThereRoseaLamb - we humans have too much 'stuff' and it gets in the way of the spiritual and what is truly important. My husband and I give each other presents but we tell everyone else - including our children - to donate to charity we do the same. We buy for the...

    How'd you get here?

    That's a wonderful idea for a thread! I think my story may be of interest so I will try to gather my thoughts together and write something.

    Advertising and Christmas

    Yes I agree we've rolled over in Britain and let the Muslims take control. Islam is not tolerant or peaceful and doesn't accept other religions or viewpoints. We have up to 40,000 mostly young men - mainly Muslim - arriving every year by boats and the socialist government does absolutely...

    Advertising and Christmas

    I love Christmas and rejoicing at the birth of Christ our Saviour and did once live in a Christian country where even non-believers joined in with our great Christian traditions but now the country is apparently 'multi-cultural' and other faiths are given at least equal weight which has meant...

    Let's Have a Very Controversial Conversation About: Condiments!! Can You REALLY Put Ketchup On ANYTHING?!?

    dressings have their place (like in a dustbin :D) but I love home cooking and think a meal that is covered in dressings ruins it. The cook has cooked it to taste!! The chef knows best! Our eldest son used to smother ketchup on everything which I hated. I think mustard with ham, mint sauce with...

    Traditional Wedding Vows

    Hi, just a quick one from me today as I was talking about this with a friend in church earlier today who was surprised I had agreed to traditional wedding vows. From a young age I was always fascinated by weddings, partly because I was bridesmaid when I was 7 with my sister and then again aged...

    My husband and retirement issues.

    Yes its difficult to compare the two countries but unfortunately Britain is not the country is was, church attendances are down and I see it in our church with the congregations getting older. I do admire the fact America maintains its Christian values and traditions and they are part of...

    My husband and retirement issues.

    Ah PAC-fit, yes, I think I get you now, sorry a bit slow! We’ve watched Escape to the Country many times too and, yes, life outside the big cities can be really lovely. My husband was raised in the village where we live now (we were able to buy quite a large house there ourselves when we...

    Thank you, I am just getting to grips with it all and can see there are many forums to delve into. I'll try to check out as many as I can:) and the singles forum (though happily married!)

    Thank You ALL

    I joined CC yesterday as I wanted to post about my husband and his retirement and our life together. I felt very guilty about it as obviously he doesn't know. I have looked at the site for ages (months) and others as well before 'taking the plunge' and joining CC which I felt was the best site...

    My husband and retirement issues.

    Thank you for this it is very deep and meaningful and also very true! Yes, I do miss the children a lot. Our lives have changed, perhaps my husband has found it easier to adapt than I have.

    My husband and retirement issues.

    Sorry PAC-fit not sure what you mean by 'new work-type craft interest', do you mean like a craft hobby? Probably my main hobby is cooking which I absolutely love (I cooked a Turkey meatloaf this morning!). I regularly bake cakes for the church coffee morning and volunteer for that - I was not...

    My husband and retirement issues.

    Hi All, and thanks very much for the replies which have been extremely helpful. Just a bit of background I came from a very ordinary family and I was a secretary in London. I met my husband at work, he was a manager and had been brought up in the Faith, it was through talking about religion that...

    My husband and retirement issues.

    Hi, thank you very much for letting me join this forum, this is my first post and I am reaching out for help in regard to my marriage. I have previously posted on other non-Christian forums but they have not been much help as they didn’t really understand the issues and Christian values so...
