Who is judging other? I judged the act, not the person. I call evil evil not the person that has done the evil eivil. There is a HUGE differance. I am the one that needs enlightenment? HA

That is talking about not judging the person. I am talking about the actions of the person.

I agree. You have to teach your children without talking bad about the other parent. That is the hard part, but it has to be done.

I do not agree with what you said about happiness and the church. Wickedness never was happiness. Sure people think they are happy lots of times when they sin but it is not a lasting happiness. The gospel is going to be the ultimate happiness. Do you want your children to live this life thinking they are happy to live miserable for Eternity? The gospel is VERY important. I would rather be unhappy for a short period and have eternity to be truely happy in. I cannot express how important the gospel is.

You should not make excuses for her. Your children need to be taught exactly what is right and what is wrong and then they can go from there. Making excuses for sin only teaches them that that is ok.

It does not matter what you have done in the past as long as you have repented and are doing the best you can now. That is no excuse for other peoples bad behavior. You learn and repent and then go on doing and being the best you can.

I disagree with you. We can judge that people are not living the gospel. We cannot judge rather they will turn around or not or where they will end up in the eternities but we can judge their actions and it is so wrong that she is sleeping with someone rather they are actual doing anything or not. It is wrong. We can judge that a temple endowed person not wearing their garments is very serious. I have an ex that does not live the standards and is even in a differant religion now and is teaching my daughter anti stuff. I totally understand. She just turned 13 and she wanted to live with him so he took me to court and now has custody. I totally understand. It is very hard. The spirit tells me that she will one day come to know the church is true and so I have to let that be my comfort.

Parenting is the hardest job in the world. I am interested in any suggestions also. It is really hard to have love and patience and still teach them what is right and wrong. I have a child who was diagnosed with adhd. He is very smart and very active. He gets bored so messes with his dad's tool, sometimes destroying stuff. I like that he is busy, intertains himself, is smart and creative but how to put these things in the right area I don't know.

You are SO BLESSED to have such a wonderful husband!!!

I know how she feels. You need to let her know that she is top priority. Make a date at least every two weeks for just the two of you to go out and have some personal time. Even taking a walk and talking works wonders. Also make a personal time at leat every two weeks that you spend some special time playing or whatever that is set aside just for the family. Then she is more likely to be satisfied with the other times when you want to do whatever. Be sure to put these days on the calendar so she can have something to look forward to.

Why do you have a wife and two mistresses?

We will be reserected and recieve bodies again in perfect form. We will have creation of spirit children in Heaven. I know we will still have physical relations with our spouses also.

I would say no. Don't do this to yourself. You deserve better. If she has done it twice and left you she will probably do it again.

I am defanetly not the same on this subject. I want my husband all to myself no matter how much work I have to do. Your husband can have my husbands share of wives.

You are very smart.
