		<description>What is heaven like?

Is marriage better there, or even good?  I can&#039;t seem to hold onto the dream.  It just vanishes away....

I&#039;m having a rather difficult evening.</description>

		<description>Yay, I get to be first!

I haven&#039;t given an update on us in a while.  Good news to report.

First, my wife has taken tiny little baby steps (but huge for her) in trying to overcome one of her inhibitions.  I&#039;m not sure how far she&#039;ll go in the end,  she doesn&#039;t enjoy the baby step but she will willing to go that far again at least.

Second, we have an old issue from the past that has wounded me deeply and we are still working on healing it.  We had some very productive conversations about it last week, and an ah-ha moment that takes a lot (but not all) of the sting out of what happened.  More work is needed on this, but I think last week was a huge step forward.

Third, my wife is frequently having orgasms now, both from manual stimulation and from intercourse.  Her desire and willingness for intimacy is higher then it has ever been and I&#039;m more than content with how frequently we are intimate.

God is good, miracles happen.  Three years ago I was afraid for the future of our marriage, now things have never been better.</description>

		<description>I can see some of your posts.  thanks.  I will continue to post here, but only to comment on others.  I have some stuff that is pretty big I want to post on that personal one.

Anyone who wants to visit is welcome.  I am not trying to be exclusive folks--I am just having problems on this site for some reason.  Some of the posts I&#039;ve placed here--big ones that took a lot of work--vanished, and I should have saved them but didn&#039;t.  ARGG!!

Anyway, that is the dea.</description>

Something technical is most definately happening here.  I lost 2 very large posts and I just don&#039;t know what happened.</description>

Rob4Hope,

None of your posts are being flagged or moderated on this end. Once I approve someone&#039;s first post they will all post automatically. I&#039;m so sorry you are losing posts. I&#039;ll look into it more on my end, but just know I&#039;m not stopping anything...!

I am also not sure why the RSS feed for these blog comments aren&#039;t automatically being sent out like they usually do when anyone posts a new comment. I have my webguys on it though. We&#039;re in the middle of overhauling the whole website www.StrengtheningMarriage.com, so I&#039;ll see if that has anything to do with it. It shouldn&#039;t though...</description>

&lt;cite&gt;Arogen&lt;/cite&gt;
I don’t think you can take it to that level of literalness like it being some kind of time loop.  For example, we will be resurrected and never die again, so we won’t be able to do what Christ did,  You only get one trip through mortality.  But we can become a savior of others through temple work for the dead.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
We won&#039;t become a saviour etc, only godhead people  do that,  quite frankly...phew! Can&#039;t be doing all that as well . It can get very deep though. Which is good, cos who wants a religion that is only on the surface.
But the Holy Ghost will need a body one day, so does he become an only begotten somewhere else..etc etc
I digress....all very deep!</description>
