View Profile History	Greedy husband Posted : 28 Apr, 2013 04:36 AM In anything we do not like about our partner we first need to express our fellings on the manner in a gentle loving tone. Express our concern for them. It is Christs job through the Spirit of God to change people. We are all helpless in the things that have us bound. The power of food is one of them. But when we proclain our vows we tell the other is sickness and in health in better and worse. We most time only want the good aspects of relationship and try on our own to remove any vestage of bad from eachother. I once was told that I am not the spirit of God. That is all they said, some doctor of pscology. I left their thinking ....OK. But he completly missed explaining to me what that really ment and looked like. Maybe he did but I was just to thick to understand. In marriage it is not our duty to change oneanother. It is our duty if you would to love oneanother. A husband or wife who is obsessed with food. What they need is love and understanding but not enabling. Their is a middle ground of seeking to encourage in love and pray, pray, pray... Because it could be that God has work to do on us first before He works on our spouse. In fact He does. So whatever our spouse does God can always work on us and leave our spouse to God in their rebellion. Because all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God... Post Reply

View Profile History	Greedy husband Posted : 6 May, 2013 07:08 AM I do believe that it is just a question - and not an issue. Of course if it was the wife or GF then it would be an issue. Since we do live in an unequal world. :rolleyes: Post Reply
ChristianArtsy View Profile History	Greedy husband Posted : 10 May, 2013 10:44 AM I'm assuming the spouse was already that way (greedy)... so, I'd like to think I would say something before he was my spouse, depending on what the issue is. If its a matter of overeating, I'd pray about it and I think just fro m the way I live (food choices), we one way or another would discuss it, but before marriage. Both partners should do "'what they can" not only for health and longevity. I really wouldn't mind waking up after 20 yrs of marriage and thinking "he is sooo hot". followed by, 'hey babe, did we really eat the whole pizza last night.. um, maybe we should walk it off a bit on the lake? First one that quits buys the coffee.." Post Reply

Apostelle View Profile History	Greedy husband Posted : 23 May, 2013 08:04 AM When I was younger I could eat a whole chicken and everything that goes with it (potatoes, vegetables, gravy, bread, etc.) and did not get fat. Would you consider that "greedy"? I had a job that was very physically demanding. If I had not eaten that much I would have become sick. I needed all those calories just to maintain a normal body weight. Which, at the time, was 210 pounds. That may sound heavy, but I had a 30 inch waist at the time. Now, I must eat like the average person because my job is not as difficult and my metabolism has slowed over the years. Post Reply

View Profile History	Greedy husband Posted : 27 May, 2013 01:51 AM Ecclesiastes 8:15 (KJV) Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun ESV And I commend joy, for man has no good thing under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun ******************************************************* As you can see, eating is highly recommended. On a serious note, i think ones health should come first. If he eats and then exercises to match the eating - then i dont see what's wrong. However, if he eats and then spends the day on the couch, then there becomes a problem. He's not looking after himself (spiritually speaking as well - as his body is a temple). Post Reply
