Honestly Evaluate Yourself

How can you know if God is really calling you to do something or it's your own voice inside your head?

I have a question. In the process of "tolerating and enduring our child's hatred of our boundaries... what is the best approach to the PROTEST of our boundaries? Should there be consequences for the protest of the consequences or should the focus stay only on the original consequence? For example, I told my son to go to his room to get something and come right back then he STOMPED up stairs. My response was to have him walk up and down the stairs quietly 16 time for the 16 STOMPS on each step. I'm wondering if this is too much or if I should just stick to the original issue and consequence something like STOMPING when it is done alone?

My husband wants to be intimate and have sex more often than I do. The stress of it is making me avoid even thinking about sex! We're so far apart on this issue how do we find common ground that meets both our needs?
