I have a prayer request. My husband and I have been married for a little over 8 years. We met in church while my church was visiting his church. One of the things that attracted me to him was that he was a God fearing man. In fact, I loved everything about him. He was truly my dream man. Lately I have been noticing that he is no longer the God fearing man he used to be. Our family goes to church every Sunday , Bible Study on Wednesday, and Choir Rehearsal on Tuesdays, our kids are on the praise…

My husband and I are both very young. We started dating when we were teens. I was 18 and he was 17. I married my high school sweetheart. We loved each other to death but sometimes lost sight of that when storms came our way. Our marriage though, has been the rockiest time in our relationship. We packed our bags, moved to another city and began life as a married couple. To start with, we were both on very different pages. I grew up in the church and knew God’s purpose for our lives and his idea of a Christian…

“Dear Praying Women, I’ve been thinking and worrying for about six months now. I’m in a relationship. We’ve been together for 1 year and 7 months. As far as I’m concerned, I’m happy and content with him. But one day my ex boyfriend texted me. I replied to him because I know that I’m over him already and we’re just friends.

Dear God, forgive me. I too, have joined the media frenzy. This week it seems that many of us placed our real lives on pause to follow, click, like, comment, laugh, and speculate on the now infamous Beyonce, Solange, Jay-Z elevator encounter. Instagram posts were uploaded, statuses on Facebook were formulated, and articles online were written all based on a silent leaked 3 minute video that many of us interpreted varyingly. Overnight we became a fraction of the conspiracy theorists and online comedians. By all means, I was a part of that crowd. And I don’t necessarily believe that there…

Corsages and boutonnieres are usually the key accessories to jazz-up your pristine prom attire. But for a group of seniors last weekend in Woodridge, Virginia, surgical masks were the ticket. “We just wore them so he wasn’t alone,” Emily Jarrell, 18, told ABC News of her longtime boyfriend, Jared Hill. Hill, 18, has been battling testicular cancer since last September. His chemotherapy treatments have weakened his immune system to that of a 2-year-old’s, which means when he’s in large public spaces, wearing a surgical mask is necessary to avoid exposure to germs. Obviously Jarrell’s prom was one of those circumstances,…
