WHAT IS MIDLIFE?

There is a significant battle that takes place as we approach our fifties. For most of us, it will kick into gear during our forties, while for some it may begin during our thirties. When the battle goes active, you will notice that:

  • You evaluate your life more often than you used to.
  • You become aware that your body does not respond or recover like it used to.
  • You long for others to be more sensitive toward you and to pay more attention to your needs.
  • You consider doing things you would never have considered ten years earlier...READ MORE

A note from Bill...

Bill Farrel, Author & SpeakerWelcome to 2012; a year that’s sure to be filled with great memories, new blessings, and agonizing disappointments. My family is looking forward to the birth of a new baby as my oldest son and his wife welcome a son to their clan. We are also excited about the addition of a daughter-in-law as my middle son has a wedding date planned this summer. As I focus on the enhancements, I'm also reminded of the surprise passing of a friend this past December. He was far too young, and far too healthy at the beginning of 2011 to ever predict the severe outcome. In the same way, many people are going to face severe surprises despite their best efforts to love and grow their families. When their lives are interrupted, they will turn to Midlife.com in search of help.

I want to thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and financial support to keep the midlife ministry open with online resources and interactive chat rooms to help people manage this vital transitional time of life; together we can help the next person who is struck by the forces of midlife.

We all experience changes in midlife, no one should go through it alone, and no one has to with Midlife.com being there to help.

This month’s resources come straight from the heart of our ministry and are available to you for a modest donation.

The Jesus Strategy Part 2
"Identify With Others"

Audio Download - with Speaker Bill Farrel

Click to order.

Jesus cared deeply about people. It is why he came to earth, lived as a humble human and eventually gave his life on the cross. At the very beginning of his earthly ministry, he was baptized by John the Baptist to identify with the need of people to practice personal growth disciplines. Then he was led to the desert to face the same kinds of temptations that all of us face. He did that so he would know exactly what it is like for us. In the midst of midlife, it is a source of extreme comfort to know that Jesus is aware of what we are going through.

The Marriage Code
Book of the Month - by Authors Bill & Pam Farrel

Click to order.

   This is a book Pam and I wrote to help people understand the line of trust that exists in every relationship. When you are above that line of trust, it is pretty easy to have healthy relationships. When you are below the line of trust, just about anything can be a problem. Much of the turmoil during midlife happens because people are unaware of this line of trust and how to consistently stay above that line. The Marriage Code introduces the reader to the primary needs in both men and women and how the Holy Spirit can be an active partner in developing trusting, growing relationships.

WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY CHANGES TAKE PLACE DURING MIDLIFE CRISIS?

Woman ExcercizeIt is extremely difficult to live with a person who is going through a midlife crisis. Some days he or she may act like an adolescent, with great outbursts of anger, deep depression, or withdrawal, while other times they are the picture of stability. They don't know who they are, where they are going, or what they are doing. Their values are totally confused.

At midlife people change their external lifestyles such as clothes, car, and exercise routines. Theman driving convertible on cell phoney also reassess work and career. Additionally they ask emotional and spiritual questions such as, "Who Am I?", "What should I do when I grow up?", "With whom should I related?", "How does God fit into my life?", and "Has my life had any meaning?"

The person is now like a sailboat caught in a deep fog offshore, without a compass and without wind to move in any direction. The person wants help with their insecurity, doubt, and weakness, yet strongly rejects any help from the mate. This wild personality vacillation can be frustrating to live with.
