Should you be concerned about your fiancé's past physical relationships with other women? Absolutely. Typically, if someone is sexually involved before marriage, the probability of straying sexually after marriage is quite high.
Which is the greater priority - marriage or parenting? The truth is, they are both priorities. You'll regret it if you neglect either one.
Your husband has reconnected with a past girlfriend. This naturally brings back strong feelings. But remember, a marriage requires that we leave the past behind and focus on the deep bond that a marital union is meant to have.
How do you keep your marriage alive now that your children have arrived? Children are a blessing from God, but children can also cause marital neglect. If you see your marriage drifting apart because you're consumed with raising your children, it's time to make a course correction.
How does it make you feel when your husband says younger women are more beautiful than you are? It's tremendously hurtful. Just remember that if you're walking with God, the more beautiful you become from within.
