We've had a lot of financial problems in the last year, and the worst part about it is that it's tearing our marriage apart. No matter what we talk about, it ends up in an argument about money and what we've done wrong. Maybe you have some suggestions on how we can get out of this, because I sure want to.

My cousin believes that he can harness some of the universe's spiritual power by carrying a crystal around with him, and he has some other ideas I wonder about, like reincarnation. He says he isn't interested in traditional religion, so how can I talk with him about Jesus? Arguing with him doesn't seem to get anywhere.

My boyfriend and I are planning to get married in a few months, and I'd like to ask you a question. What difference does it make whether or not we get married in a church (which is what my mother wants)? A marriage performed by a judge is just as valid as one done by a minister, isn't it?

I know we aren't supposed to speculate or make wild guesses about Jesus' return, but do you think the end of the world could come before long? There's so much evil in the world today that I wonder why God doesn't just get fed up and put an end to it.

My husband is a good man, but he doesn't want anything to do with the church or with God. I think his problem is that he grew up in a very strict religious home, and he's never gotten over his rebellion. How can I witness to him about Jesus, when he won't even talk about it?

I guess you'd say I'm sort of a "Christmas and Easter Christian" because those are about the only times I bother going to church. But this Easter, something about the service kind of got under my skin, and I'm wondering if maybe I need to give God a chance. But how do I begin?
