Uganda, Feb. 15 -- Now that Lent is almost here, I write in desperate need of advice. My wife and I have been married for more than six years and all was well until two years ago. During Lent, she decided she was fasting from any kind of intimacy with me and told me so. When I asked why, she said this was her time to get closer to God and while she fasts and prays, she does not want any distractions. She assures me though that she still loves me very much.
