Thank you for participating in the marriage survey on this post, "What's the Biggest Problem or Frustration in Your Marriage?"

Your valuable feedback in the comment box and by email revealed a number of areas or "hot buttons" that married couples find challenging.


21 Hot Buttons


• trust
• money
• communication
• in-laws
• infertility
• children
• temperaments/giftings
• leadership
• submission
• romance
• sexuality
• time
• gender differences
• goals
• faith
• ministry
working vs. stay-at-home mothers
• personal growth
• commitment
• boredom & apathy
• addictions

In the coming months, e-Dad and I would like to address these hot buttons in writing. Using Scripture as our final authority, hopefully we'll be able to offer you some fresh insights in ebook form. We both appreciate your honesty and the time you took to share your private issues on this blog. Here's a special shout-out to those of you who discussed the question beforehand with your husband.

THREE Chocolate Giveaway Winners

What a great list. I am really looking forward to these posts.

One idea to add to the list: different interests. For example, he'd like to travel -- internationally, even. I'm a homebody, but it's not just that I don't want to travel -- every time I do I spend hours in the bathroom, to put it delicately.

Buffy: Thanks for your interest!

Barbara H.: Lol, some of us have a more "delicate" constitution. I understand completely. Yes, different interests in marriage can be a challenge. Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for stopping by! :~D

The woman needing to be pursued
and the man
Knowing he can cut it is only answered by GOD

Donetta: Wise words! Thanks for pointing out that a man needs to seek his confidence from God. If he has that, usually his ongoing pursuit of his wife will follow, right? :~D
