Maybe you just need to treat your wife better 🤔

Lee reacted to mrmarklin in How to tell whether or not you are becoming inactive
You are active by the Church’s own definition.
Dont let the naysayers of this forum discourage you. Your activity will increase gradually as you start taking your children to their classes. The very fact that you are trying is enough. The idea that you are becoming unworthy is from Satan.
You are making progress , keep the faith.

We think we are active, we have strong testimonies and they impact how we live our life.

I have never had to prove I pay a full-tithe I just say I do when the Bishop asks me.

I pray every day and I fast often. I feel like I have the spirit with me. I could put more effort into strengthening my relationship with God but I am in a good place spiritually I know that.

Lee reacted to Latter-Day Marriage in Contemplating divorce
It was a paragraph where he revealed a lot about himself. He said: "we always had power struggles...It seems that she is not to take any correction from me when I say to stop doing something that I dislike..She is totally against being so call subservient to the husband.. she feels like because I strongly feel that her suggestion or idea is not the best for our family - as I believe I'm the one to protect and provide for my family- that I'm not listening to her ... [she feels] that I'm treating her like garbage"
All that clearly reveals that he is trying to exercise power over her, control her, tell her what to do, and he feels it is his place to do so and it is her place to be subserviant to his decisions that he makes without getting her agreement first. That is exercising unrighteous dominion. She is pushing back and he is not happy about it.
He doesn't get to decide how she feels or even how she should feel. He needs to back off his power trip and learn to counsel together with her as a couple should.

Lee got a reaction from Iggy in Contemplating divorce
100 percent agree a strong woman is a blessing to any marriage. I have lost count of the number of times my wife has had to pick me up and tell me what the best thing for us to do is. Sure I could call my wife stubborn or defensive but I appreciate her strong-mindedness and her ability to stand up for herself. As a plus she stands up for me a lot too
If I ever tried to pull this on my wife:
I would be living on the couch. Your wife is not a child for you to correct or boss around, give her your opinion and talk it through.

I think so, there is no swearing and not many adult themes. My wife and I find it good

Lee got a reaction from Jane_Doe in How did you know it was the right time to have your first child?
If I have a son then I will be very excited and I can turn them into a soccer prodigy.

Lee got a reaction from seashmore in Missionaries have stopped coming to see my children
My sister-in-law was widowed the day her son was born and she distanced herself from everyone except me (we were really close) for a long time. She even distanced herself from my parents but they understood that she needed time alone to figure things out without anyone else's influence. After 3 or 4 years she started speaking to my parents again and my mother didn't hold a grudge she was just happy to have her grandson in her life. My sister-in-law did also go back to the same ward for a while but she never resettled there and eventually moved away. She felt like people didn't treat her the way they did before her husband died and didn't like the sympathy or pity. I don't blame you for not wanting to go to that ward and I understand the constant struggle you face because I care for my nephew now and I constantly feel like I am letting my brother down.
