By Anna Davies. I was at a new-mom group with my thenweek-old daughter, Lucy, when another mom sat down next to me. As if to prove her point, she puckered her lips and kissed her confused-looking infant son on the mouth.

I'm not a parent yet and still in my 20s. I was wondering if it's ok for a kid between the age of years to watch his parents kiss and romance with each other. By romance I mean holding your partner's hips with your hand or stare at each other while standing close to each other or anything else that isn't too sexual. Would this affect the child in a negative way?
Being married and raising a family can be very difficult if the two of you disagree about important issues like religion. We go for hikes with the dogs and bike rides but I feel so lonely and it breaks my heart every time I have to leave his house because I know that I won't see him for a week or more. And no one has the right to judge you for your decision. I just wanted to tell you that I am grateful for your words!. I am a nurse and have been for 10 years. It is soooo hard. Oh, and remember LDS girls are usually good at leading guys on with potential sex to get guys to agree to what they want join the church.
