Same here - I lost a lot of weight simply by eating less. We eat waaaaaaay too much food.

That's why diets fail - once off, not only do people return to their old foods, but they return to their old portions.

Hi, Excess eating definitely makes you obese/overweight. Eating less may enable you to lose extra weight but in the process sadly, your body is deprived of proper nutrients it so desperately needs on a regular basis. I was overweight but now have lost a considerable amount of wieght with a meal replacement food item. It's just superb. You don't feel hungry while on it so no torture of dieting. It is not a medicine. So, you feel great in health. It's an awesome product.

Then you have to ask what Jesus expects of you as a husband...... Hint: he told us through Paul that we are to love them as he loved the church.

Hummmm. lets see..... what was it that he did. Gave up being a God to be incarnated into a human body and live as a man........ then suffer rejection, beatings and finally death in a really ugly way....... all for his church (that's us).

So tell me are you willing to give that to your wife? Have you told her so? Have you shown her enough that she would believe you? Every single person I have ever known that does that on a regular basis has a wife that would follow them over the cliff into the abyss if that's where he led her. Her part about submitting is not a big deal at all in that kind of an environment........ but outside that environment........ whoooooooeeeeeee that submit thing just doesn't work out.

You are absolutely right. When a husband sincerely and deeply loves his wife and stands by her side 'come what may' then submission by the wife to him is not an issue at all. He will receive all her love in reciprocation. That's how it is with Christ and us, the church, isn't it? It is the man who is to be in Christ and the wife will follow.

I have been kind, loving, gentle, patient, considerate, etc. I am 35 she is 27. I have been married for 7+ years. I have a 6, 4, 1 year old. My wife and I have had a contentious relationship. She filed for divorce 3 months ago. She wants a divorce no matter what. She doesn't serve God. I love her, but she doesn't seem to want to love me, even though she says she does. I feel like there may be hope, but only because she might "need" me financially, and only if accept all blame and submit to her and support her in everything. Do I let her go?
