I watched a webinar yesterday about the 5 things husbands don’t tell their wives. 4 weeks ago I found out about some things my husband has been keeping from me. We have been working through it, but have been looking for resources. The webinar really hit home, but when i tried to share it with my husband, now we can’t find it. Is there a way for us to see it? Could we get a link? I am hopeful that your site and resources will be a help for our marriage and that webinar with both you and the other couples commentary really would b a grest start to show my husband in order to get him interested in your site.
Thank you for any help.
James Macdonald has a radio program “Walk with the Word”. He said he uses PC monitoring program, that can email his wife when questionable web surfing happens. The idea: my wife sees me install it. She puts in a password, when I see nothing. Then she can test the email system herself. She knows it works and can even dig deeper if she wants to. [ I mean the email gives a website, so she can look to make sure.] I would like it to give the LEVEL of alert, but just a thing like J. Macdonald described, that would be very useful for us.

Hi
So I turn 17 in 11 days,and my girlfriend is 18 in about 2 months. We both realy love each other and we support each other through everything.
My girlfriend recently found out she is pregnant. Yes,she and I are going to have a baby.
We already told her mom,and she is very supportive. Her dad will probably kill me,and my parents are very protective and they raised me like I was living in a church my whole life.
My dad wil probably kick me out or something.
My girlfriend asked me if she could talk to me last night,and she started crying and said she can’t do it,and that she wants to have an abortion.
I do NOT want an abortion. I specificaly told her I don’t want an abortion and that I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if we would ever do that.
I’m 17…I’m in the 11th grade,she’s finnishing school with her last grade nect year and she’s sad because she says she can’t finnish school while pregnant.
I don’t have much money,but I am willing to do everything I can.
We don’t know what to do,and its all so confusing
Please just help me and give me some advice on what I could do?
Thanks
This is a really tough place to be for both of you. But especially for you with regards to rights over your unborn child in our country vs. your girlfriends rights to her body. I’m pretty certain your girlfriend can make the decision without you. Hopefully she will hear your heart and will take that into consideration when making her decision. We are not professional counselors here so I cannot give you professional advice but I can give you some suggestions and I can pray for all of you.
There are alternatives to abortion if your girlfriend is not ready to devote her life to a child. I believe Adoption is one of the most loving and selfless acts a parent can do if indeed they know they are unable for whatever reason to provide for another human being. Adoption is a great alternative because not only are you allowing the child to keep his/her life but you are giving potential adoptive parents the chance at a heart’s desire that only someone selfless enough to give up a child to them can bring.
There are also homes available throughout the country for pregnant/unwed women. One that I am familiar with personally is –> Florence Crittenton <–. Catholic charities offers many as well (and you don’t have to be catholic or even of any faith for that matter). In these homes, life doesn’t stop. A young woman can still continue her education, work if she wants to, take all kinds of prep classes for whether she is adopting the baby out or keeping it. She can receive counseling and most times all of the costs are paid for through donations and the state or potential adoptive parents.
Ironically— I was in your girlfriend’s shoes 31 years ago–but I was 2 years younger than she. Sadly though, I did not have the family support (at that time) that it sounds like your girlfriend has. I chose to go to Florence Crittenton. My son is now 31 and I have my first grandchild. =)
There is always hope. I’ll be saying prayers for you/r situation.
