Hanging out, situationships and more
I am trying to adhere to the principle that Christians should not be "unequally yoked". What should I do if I realise I've started developing feelings for someone who isn't a Christian?

Profound loss can lead to a loss of direction and motivation in life. Daily routines lose meaning, former pleasures no longer bring joy, and we may withdraw from people, interests and life.

Hope is the catalyst for change
"I think I finally get it." My client's statement reflected a radical change although his circumstances had not changed much. His wife of nearly 15 years had left him about three years earlier and had not once made any direct contact since.
