I am a Christian and my husband is Muslim. We've been having a hard time in our marriage. I don't feel like our marriage is truly God centered. My husband is very lukewarm. He tells me i need to be Muslim and even said that if I want our marriage to work I need to be Muslim. That has just pushed me more into my walk with Christ. I feel like my marriage took away the fire I had to know Him and my devotion. I understand why we aren't not supposed to be unequally yoked.

Sounds like there should be a talk. Idk about you but to me Muslim and Christian have two different views about marriage. Sounds like he knew you were Christian and wanted to change you

It can work but effort needs to be put in. My aunt is married to a Muslim man and has been for years, he has never expected her to convert and accepts for her for beliefs and she respects his. I'm pagan and my husband is atheist, he doesn't believe what I believe but respects that I believe it and wouldn't ever judge me for it and we have agreed no religion will be taught to our children until they decide for themselves. The fact that you've said your husband has been lukewarm and never mentioned religion before now makes me think someone else has been whispering in his ear that it's wrong and you need to convert for you to be together

Hi mums! How are we staying fit postpartum? I’m ready to start working out but want advice on how other mums do it. Feel like I can never fit it in other than dog walks. What do you find helps slowly getting back into your fitness ?
Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

Should I be worried?

Hey ladies!

Just a question here, my partner and I were intimate yesterday. Because I’m not on any type of birth control, by choice we decided to use condoms. TMI we usually don’t but during my ovulation cycle, we do just to be on the safe side. The condom broke yesterday and resulted in him finishing inside. Technically speaking after having a csection they recommend up to a year before getting pregnant again.
My question is, do I have anything really to worry about if I were to get pregnant? Should there be anything for me to stress over?

If I sound stupid, i’m sorry. But my head is full and figure i’d get some advice.

I just don’t want sex. HELP

I’m so baffled by what on earth is going on inside my brain/body right now.
I love my husband. I fancy him which is what’s also confusing me. But I’ve lost all interest in sex since having our son 18 months ago. The more time passes the worse I’m getting. Last night I could tell he was getting a bit touchy feeling so before we went to bed I ran into the bathroom and stuck a load of fake tan on so that I had an excuse as to why I couldn’t do it. I made my apologies and he looked really gutted. He never ever puts pressure on me or ever makes me feel guilty or pressurises me into it which also makes me feel guilty that I don’t sometimes just do it. When we’re doing it it always feels really good. So I’ve no idea why that spark hasn’t lit back up for me.

I am tired and I think I had ppd and anxiety for a while (undiagnosed). But things have felt better and lighter for a while now. The only thing that isn’t back to normal is our sex life. But sex literally never ever crosses my mind. It’s like I’ve gone numb to those desires and it’s out of sight, out of mind. We can go weeks or we probably can do it once a month.

I’m a bit embarrassed to chat to my friends about this.
