Beliefnet definitely has something for everybody. This week we’ve highlighted some particularly juicy topics about relationships, politics, health, and parenting.
\nDoes Marriage Have an ‘Expiration Date’?<\/a>
\n“Did anyone notice the article on Politician, Gabriele Pauli — who has shocked the Catholic state in Germany by suggesting marriage should last just 7 years? Any comments, married couples?”\u2014Oceana2
\nIs Food an Addiction?<\/a>
\n“I think comparing weight problems to alcoholics and drug addicts is demeaning but it is a way of keeping us fatties (especially women) in our place. I think there are profound differences in these conditions and should not be lumped together.”- appy20
\nRaising Interfaith Kids<\/a>
\n“My boyfriend and I have been talking about getting married and having children. We are from two different faiths (He leans towards Pentecostal and I am Roman Catholic). We have been struggling with what faith to bring them up in. Would it be best to pick one only or to bring them up in both?”- Czech137
\nDo You Think Politicians Are Hypocritical About Sex?<\/a>
\n“Senator David Vitter of Louisiana has been caught frequenting prostitutes. His behavior stands in stark contrast to the conservative “family values” and harsh sex-negative positions he relentlessly championed in the Senate and state legislature.”- jacknky<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
