Ask Amy: Husband’s spiritual quest leads him astray

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:34:37 GMT

Dear Amy: I have been with my husband for 29 years.For the most part, we are happy and compatible.However, over the last three years he has changed course on me.What I mean is that we were both Christians, until he embraced a New Age philosophy that is in no way compatible with my Christian beliefs.He stopped attending services with me, and has no interest in our church anymore.This hurts me deeply. I feel betrayed.I still love him, but this has put up a barrier between us. It has also caused trust issues on my part, due to some of the comments he has made.For instance, he says that God wants us to be happy, so we can just throw our inhibitions to the wind.Also, he sees no problem with women going out in public half-naked.According to him, God does not want us hiding our bodies.Also, he believes it is OK for a partner to cheat if he or she is unhappy, because God wants us to be happy.Related ArticlesAsk Amy | Ask Amy: Wronged wife chooses to stay — for now Ask Amy | ...

Netherlands scores early then shuts down Portugal 1-0 at Women’s World Cup

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:34:37 GMT

DUNEDIN, New Zealand (AP) — Stefanie van der Gragt scored on a header in the 13th minute, leading the Netherlands to a 1-0 win over Portugal at the Women’s World Cup on Sunday as the 2019 finalists began their tournament run. The Dutch defender gathered herself as teammate Sherida Spitse lofted a corner kick her way, then headed the ball across the goal into the far side of the net. An offside review delayed the celebration. The goal by the 30-year-old van der Gragt, who plans to retire after the Women’s World Cup, was the quickest first goal of the tournament. The Dutch controlled the tempo of the game — Portugal’s first shot of the match didn’t come until the 82nd minute. The meeting with the Netherlands, ranked No. 9 in the world, marked Portugal’s first-ever tournament appearance.On hand were 11,991 spectators, who were sheltered from the rain inside Dunedin’s covered Forsyth Barr Stadium, known as the Glasshouse, which has a capacity of 25,947.Though most of the crowd app...

Rain delays start start of play on last day of 4th Ashes test

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:34:37 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Rain prevented play from starting on time on the last day of the fourth Ashes cricket test between England and Australia on Sunday.The weather forecast is bleak and it is possible that play will be washed out for the rest of the day.Only 30 overs were possible on Saturday, with plenty more rain forecast on what could be a frustrating final day at Old Trafford.Australia are more than happy to settle for a draw that would see them retain their 2-1 lead and the urn, meaning England will be forced to make the most of whatever windows of play are possible.They have already been frustrated by a 103-run stand between centurion Marnus Labuschagne and Mitch Marsh, but saw their prospects rise when Joe Root had the former caught behind.There is little margin for error after their 275-run first-innings lead was whittled down to 61 by the tourists, who will resume on 214-5.___AP cricket: https://apnews.com/hub/cricket and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

(CNN) — Los votantes españoles se dirigen a las urnas en las elecciones generales anticipadas de este domingo en las que un partido de extrema derecha podría ingresar al gobierno por primera vez en décadas.La mayoría de las encuestas predicen que ganará el opositor Partido Popular, de centroderecha, pero no alcanzará la mayoría absoluta en el Parlamento, lo que significa que probablemente tendrían que formar una coalición con el partido de extrema derecha Vox.El presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, en el poder desde 2018, apostó por la celebración de una votación anticipada después de que su partido sufriera grandes reveses en las elecciones regionales y locales de mayo, mientras que el PP lograba enormes ganancias.Su partido socialista (PSOE) actualmente dirige el país en un gobierno minoritario con un socio de coalición menor, el partido izquierdista Podemos, y obtiene el apoyo parlamentario de otras fuerzas de izquierda.Podemos también sufrió en las elecciones de mayo y ...
