Prayer request: I have been married to my husband for 2 ½ years. We have been seeing each other for 3 years. We both went to school together but we got together many years later. The other day I caught my husband for the seventh time talking to random women online inappropriately. Each time when I confront him he tells me I shouldn’t have been snooping or something along that nature. It sometimes has led to fits of anger and me being thrown around. He does not think you can emotionally cheat on someone, but I feel if he had…

Prayer request: Hello, I have a prayer request. Sorry if you’ve received multiples, but I didn’t hear back from you guys so I decided to send it again. My husband is a convicted felon. While in Prison, he came to know Christ and even started a ministry in prison. He’s active in our church and in our community. He has a passion for counseling youth. He’s only been out of prison for 3 months and already I’m worried. We are living on one income (mine’s). Barely making ends meet. My husband’s trying so hard to do right, but because he…
I still remember how sad I would get when it was time to part ways with my daughter on holidays. Chances are if you’re divorced, you’re going through the same thing. Although, we try to put on a cheery face on the outside, only prayer will cure us of the pain we feel on the inside. So pray about it, cheer up, and enjoy this holiday season! Here’s a few ways you can enjoy the holiday season while enduring the pain of co-parenting… 1. Start New Traditions If your parenting time doesn’t fall on the actual holiday, you can still enjoy the…
Chicago bull dancer Ariana Rosado was pleasantly surprised by a proposal from her boyfriend Shane Zackery during the third quarter of a game between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. In the middle of a performance by the Chicago Bulls dance squad, ‘The Luvabulls’ the music suddenly changes to “Marry You” from Bruno Mars. While the other dancers were completely aware of what was going on, Ariana was caught off guard by what was to happen next. Congratulations to the happy couple. 🙂
Prayer Request: I have a prayer request for my marriage. My husband and I have started to argue a lot. I mean everyday there’s an argument. He has become very jealous and insecure for no reason. He wasn’t like this when we were dating. He has never hit me or been abusive an any way, but it really scares me that one day it will get to that. Let me give you guys a little background on what I deal with daily. 1. He thinks all of my male co -workers want me. He pops up at my place of…
Prayer Request: Let me start by saying that my past is not squeaky clean. In fact, I have done a lot of things I am not proud of. I have told my husband every thing there is to know about me. No secrets. I’ m pretty much an open book with everyone because I use where I’ve been as a testament of how good God is.I’m not ashamed. I’ll tell my story to anybody I think it may help. But recently, my past has come back to haunt me. I’ve only been married 3 months. We eloped because my husbands…
Prayer Request: My sister passed away 6 months ago. She was murdered by her ex boyfriend after breaking it off with him. I have since taken in my 10 year old nephew, her son. He is soooooooo disrespectful, vulgar, and mean to my kids and I. I have tried to explain to my kids that he’s going through a lot right now with the death of his mom so they should try to be forgiving and extra nice to him. HOWEVER, I’m getting tired of giving him a pass on abusing my kids. He hits them, he threw a bottle…
Prayer Request: Hello Praying Women. I am in need of your prayers. My husband wants me to get an abortion. He says we are not financially able to care for a baby at this time and it’s true. But I feel like God won’t ever give us more than we can handle. I’m 3 months pregnant and he doesn’t like to talk about the baby at all even when my other kids ask him questions about the baby and are so happy about it. He’s starting to treat me so cold like I’m just a girlfriend not his wife. I…
Prayer request: Praying for my estranged daughter Ashley to Honor her mother. She’s been a very disrespectful child to me since around the age of 12. Now that she’s grown NOTHING has changed. In fact it’s gotten worse. Praying for God to soften her heart as it is hardened towards me, her mother. Praying that God allows his angels to come into her dreams and chase her until her soul surrenders to God’s will. Praying that her family members and her friends who encourage her to be disrespectful to me and who laugh with her when she’s saying disrespectful things…
John and Ann Betar eloped on Nov. 25, 1932, fleeing their close-knit Syrian neighborhood in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and driving as fast as they could to Harrison, New York, to avoid Ann’s father’s plans to marry her off to a man 20 years older. Now, as their 81st wedding anniversary approaches on Monday, the pair, named as the “longest married couple” in America, can only laugh as they look back on the commotion they caused. “Everyone was hopping mad, and my wife’s aunt consoled my father-in-law by telling him not to worry, the marriage won’t last,” chuckled John Betar, now 102…
Exactly why is diet soda so bad for you and your health? It seems like a good thing, right? Less calories, less sugar, still satisfying. Unfortunately, there is so more to this chemical cocktail than you may realize. It Confuses You Artificial sweeteners have more intense flavor than real sugar, so over time products like diet soda dull our senses to naturally sweet foods like fruit, says Brooke Alpert, RD, author of The Sugar Detox. Even more troubling, these sugar stand-ins have been shown to have the same effect on your body as sugar. “Artificial sweeteners trigger insulin, which sends…
Prayer request: Please pray for my mom- After 25 years of a very abusive and unfaithful marriage, my mom decided it was time to get away. I was 21 at the time and was still living at home. We devised a plan to move while my dad was gone for the day. Since that day 3 years ago, he has harassed my mom via phone and also has harassed me. He told her that he would kill her if he ever finds out where she lives. I worry nonstop about this and it’s so stressful. I beg you to pray…
Prayer request: My husband of 10 years recently had a 7 month affair with his bff’s wife and now there is speculation that a pregnancy has taken place. He also tried to start and affair with a woman he had a one night stand with that he met at a bar. He has lied, deceived and been unfaithful throughout our marriage and I have tried really hard to forgive him and stay together. He always uses God against me by telling me that God hates divorce and as long as he has repented and is trying to do the right…
1) Make a great playlist. No matter what my mood, a great playlist can make any run more bearable. Personally I have a couple on my phone that I can alternate between, some being really upbeat to get me going and others that are more calm if I’m feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Also, reward yourself for hitting running milestones or other achievements by buying new music! I like to buy new music and then only allow myself to listen to it on the treadmill, that way I have one more reason to look forward to my run! 2) Bring Entertainment.…

San Francisco, unofficially dubbed one of the homeless capitals of the U.S., counts nearly 6,500 homeless people in 2013, according to recent city numbers, with 4,300 people living on the street. Among the many problems the homeless face is little or no access to showers. San Francisco only has about 16 to 20 shower stalls to accommodate them. But Doniece Sandoval has made it her mission to change that. “Homelessness is something you can’t really miss in San Francisco,” the 51-year-old former marketing executive told ABC News. She started Lava Mae, a sort of showers on wheels, a new project…
Prayer Request: I was married to a great man from 2003 to 2011. He got hurt and became hooked on prescription pain killers. The drugs increased in type and frequency. Things were great until the drugs. I was lucky to have him. I loved him. He hit me while withdrawing. He was removed by Department of Family Services and the police. He served over 2 years in jail for his actions. While he was in jail, I left him for a low life person. When he got out of mail, I promised him we would be back together. Three times…
Prayer request: I left my marriage a little over a year ago. It was emotionally and psychologically abuse for me. For my daughter it was emotional, psychological and physical. We are still feeling the pains of the marriage, the lack of self esteem, the inability to see what is good, and for my daughter it seems to be a sense of “no hope.” She was and still is bright and beautiful. After leaving the marriage I learned a bit about what she went through. Daily ridicule and belittlement. She was told she was a failure and would never get any…
Prayer Request: Please pray for me that I may overcome these emotional disturbances in my life. I am a single mother to a 4 year old. Over the past 4 years, I have had a hard time emotionally dealing with the fact that I am raising a kid in a fatherless home(the same way I was raised) and it is bothering me to see her grow up the way I grew up. The only time my daughter’s father wants anything to do with her is when him and I are working on getting back together so time after time he…
Seth Miller, went from living in foster homes to his car after aging out of the foster care system. When News 8 first profiled the high school senior in September, Miller was homeless. Virginia Barrett, his childhood court-appointed special advocate (CASA), had helped get him an apartment. At the time, Miller spoke with anger and determination. “I’m going to make it because I have to,” he said. “That’s all I have. That’s the only choice I have.” Many people reached out to help Miller after the News 8 report. Some donated money to help him pay rent and buy food.…
