That was the result of the last 2 yrs of study and afaik there are no more sustaining foods than those to incorperate into the diet to cleanse metals and prevent disease. From my experience that is world altering far more than who's doing what to whom. Turmeric tea and cilantro salsa make a lot of difference, no matter how many seeds your sprouting. or whatever your doing. Tis a fact.

Did I just get a spanking? It sort of felt like it, lol.

I'm talking about the culture and the clash of west to east, you are talking about health from an individual's perspective. We are talking about 2 different things. Tis a fact. :p

I believe people don't stay married this day and age cause they don't work out their problems.

It's easier to walk away than try to work on something that's hard to work on!

Plus no one wants to admit that they're part of the problem. The majority of marriages that fail are the problem of both in some way (I'm not talking abusive marriages).

Women say that men don't listen but do women pick up on the cues that men leave...in a way listening to their body language?

That's way too easy to say people divorce cause they dont wanna work things out. Can be but the ones I've seen from christians and then some stupid married people saying: look at us! we're much better! we work it out! its hard work hear. oh really? they have no idea. one such a pastor said to my ex if you had staid with my church you wouldnt have divorced. yeah right with his perfectly normal wife who never had a demon in the first place. a relationship of 2 people. how simple can it be? go watch marriage from hell, my wife beats me up from tb joshua or something. hey thats a guy i really respect for staying with his demon posessed wife who beat him up and made him almost die and crash with his car. he forgave her. she got set free. wow. another didnt. cant really blame him. people think couples divorce over that the meal sucks or something i get the idea.

Yes I know, I shouldn't take it personal. He wasn't really abusive.

Well, no matter what, either way, I know enough to know that isn't right, and it shouldn't happen any more.
Rens, and Lämm, you're daughters of the King of kings, and this is one situation where 'Touch not Mine anointed...' surely applies, I'd say.

I realize the bible says pride goes before a fall, and I don't ever want to think I'm above sinning to any degree, or I'm better than anyone else, but I'm so glad for God's redeeming, restraining, grace. Plus, by His grace, I have at least one Pastor that would probably beat the carp outta me if I ever was abusive, and he's a pretty big guy, plus I know his past a bit, he could really rumble.
Add about two thousand other guys in church that would 'help' him, just for good measure.

Also, an offshoot of our church (we co-minister often) is pastored by a former prison brawler and a golden glove boxer, (they have a boxing ring and gymnasium in the church, those boys dont mess around) so I'm pretty sure if I ever laid my hands on my wife, I'd soon be having to learn a new way to eat.....with my feet! :)

Yes, thank God, for many reasons, I think my wife would be pretty safe :hug:

Oh I don't worry about that, but are you safe? That's the question.
Ah don't worry, we Dutch women are so sweet, you get whipped cream things with your birthday.

Hello what can I do for you?
I may choose a Barbie doll for my birthday.
Oh are you lucky! This week all barbies are 19, 95 instead of 29, 95.
Except Barbie divorces, that's 99, 95.
Oh why is that one so expensive?
Because with Barbie divorces you also get the car from Ken, the tv from Ken, the house from Ken and the boat from Ken.

A real kidder, but our Dads got it right! My Dad often kids, 'I'll be married 67 years this year ... TO THE SAME WOMAN!' :=D: LOL

God bless you Mom and Dad, and your parents, too, Rens.
I get married, I'm the same way ... One woman, one and done, once for all forever.
Can't see going 'Yes, you're the love of my life, it's you and me forever amen'.
Three years later ... 'Yes, umm, now YOU're the love of my life, it's you and me forever amen'.
Three years after that ... Ummm now ummm errr.

I'm not judging anyone else, though. Life is hard, we're fallen ppl in a fallen world,
there's forgiveness and fresh starts, and no condemnation in Christ.
If I'm ever that blessed, it's a sacred vow, and I pray and by God's grace, and love, (and I believe it takes that) the first shall be the last and the only.

I'm thankful for our Dads demonstrating that faithfulness as example. Let love abound and reign. :elove:

If my husband ever said what your dad said my reply would be, "Well, then let them have you." ;) I don't put up with comments like that since they're purposely condescending.
