The shoe might be on the other foot if the spouse is tied up with their interests. After nearly 32 years of marriage we are a well-oiled machine, helping each other to be temperate (self-controlled & moderate). Competitive Scrabble features large on my wife's agenda and I chose whether or not to travel away to her weekend tournaments or stay home and get my DIY done. Happy Days! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have other things too of course. I believe the Lord led me here. I need to fellowship like Apostle John spoke of in 1 john. Our fellowship is with the father and the son. And also with any who fellowship with God. I think I touch it a few times here . Fellowship is sharing God's presence with others to me. I think we need that badly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is important to take note of how we spend our time each day and see if there are areas we need to adjust how we spend our time. I do enjoy the chance to interact and learn from others hete. Being able to talk to people of all ages. And in being here, I have found some great opportunities to learn myself as well as pray for others. Having said that, now with my parents living with us, i don't have as much free time as I used to have. God bless. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Worthy Christian Forums is not like other forums which discuss fantasy, we here are talking about eternal things and the impact of our conversations will be seen in heaven and at the last judgement. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm unmarried too, although I often joke that I'm married to my laptop, and being on here means I'm using my laptop, so does it mean killing 2 birds with one stone? Jokes aside, I have this tab on and attend to here when I receive a notification. Otherwise, I try to focus on my writing, social media connections, and my personal time with the Lord. Of course I leave here and my laptop to church fellowships, etc. I'm still finding a healthy balance to give all necessary things enough attention throughout each day, but for sure I have fun interacting with everyone here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conversations are real and the subjects are stimulating too, many lead me to a topical study of the Bible. So no! I don't think spending time in daily devotion, praise, prayer, discussion, etc., is a problem, but instead it is a blessing. BTW my wife joins in, facing me while she is on another board that we used to both be on, the one we met on, and we then share back and forth, praying, praising, and discussing. Guess I could instead be watching FOX Cable News tv flash, "alert alert, Donald Trump just tweeted." (Yes the pun was intended) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds a bit strange for a guy who likes to write, but I really can't read all that long without my eyes hurting or getting tired. When I was a little kid, I could read a 300 page book in a matter of hours. Now it takes me days, weeks even, to finish such a book. The rest of my online time I spend on Youtube. Being single and childless, I suppose I spend more time here. My family, if they aren't my immediate family, we don't really speak with each other. Like, at all. They are family by blood, but beyond that, I really don't think i'd call them family. Then, my immediate family, we do speak, but not necessarily with particular closeness on personal matters. Often i'll find out some detail about them, but they didn't really tell anyone because, "they didn't need to know". Basically, we'll talk about work or the weather. How we feel or personal opinions are well guarded. Then, I... Honestly don't have any friends, nor have I found a church to attend yet. The time I spend here each day is short, but it's a nice time. Until I can break out of my shell, not guard myself completely as was instilled in me, and I can find a decent church, this is pretty much my only venue for religious discussion.

It is a diverse city, with a multitude of different ethics, but people just don't want to hear anything about the bible ect. Once, our pastor took us out on a popular street on a nice summer night to hand out tracts and most people did not want to take the tract and some was arrogant . There was some young folks with us and I could see the humiliation on their faces. Iron sharpens Iron. Social media and the internet are the way of life for the developed world and it is so convenient to click the mouse and send your message or view others thoughts with a cup of coffee and no one to distract you. Yes, at times, one can spend hours here and that can reflect a hunger for truths, or for answers that you may be searching for, or for agreements and disagreements on theology that you once held. In all, it all comes to your personal life and the time on your hands. As others have said, they are constrained by family and some freedom from all. Choice, it is a matter of choice.
