When wasjesus born?

The date of Christ's birth is not known. The gospels indicate neither the day nor the month. The birth of Christ was assigned the date of the Winter solstice ( December 25 in the Julian calendar, January 6 in the Egyptian), because on this day, as the sun began its return to northern skies, the pagan devotees of Mithra celebrated the dies natalis Solis invicti (birthday of the invincible sun). On Dec 25, 274, Aurelian had proclaimed the sun-god principal patron of the empire and dedicated a temple to him in the Campus Martius. Christmas originated at a time when the cult of the sun was particularly strong at Rome. (infomation taken from the new Catholic Encyclopedia, 1967, vol III, p.656

Another Perspective

This is the twenty first century. Women have names and an existence apart from their husbands. An invitation can be addressed to Margaret and William Anderson. Most etiquette books are decades behind the times.

What is the single word in English for brother's wife?

Your brother's wife is your sister-in-law. It is appropriate to call her by her first name, however, if you want to use a diminutive of her name (ie calling Elizabeth Beckie), please check with her first. Some people are not comfortable, nor do they like "nicknames".

In the English language, no distinction is made between the wife of a younger brother and the wife of an older brother. The wife of your brother is simply your sister-in-law.

How do you address pastor and wife?

Just Reverend is for conversation only when speaking to the Reverend face to face.

Where do you place your return address?

Return address is the senders address. This goes in the upper left corner of the mailing envelope or parcel. If you get a personal letter from someone, it should be in this format:

Barack Obama

Washington, DC 20500

Is it strange for a teacher to sign a student's yearbook ending it with the word love and then signing their full name without a Ms. or Mrs. before it?

Yes it is strange and not the brightest thing a teacher could do. There is different types of love. Love of parents, siblings, or you could love a good friend. With my very close friends I'll give them a hug and sometimes say "love ya" because I honestly do, but it's casual. If I were a teacher I would never put "Love" and my name. Marcy

Why does your husband call you names and swears at you when you fight?

Because he is living in a different reality, creating a picture in his head of the perfect mate, someone who is there only to meet his needs and has none of her own. Unfortunately, it is only a picture, and when you have the audacity to express an opinion or need that does not fit with his image, he gets angry and tries to force you to be that image by name calling, a typical abusive behavior. Basically he is trying to control you with words, until you conform to his image, which will never happen - just start making your way to the door and leave the relationship behind if you ever want to be happy again.

We are answering your question without having ever met either you or your husband, and we don't really know what is going on. It is easily possible that you are utterly innocent, and are simply being abused by a terrible husband whom you were foolish enough to marry and from whom you now desperately need to escape, as the original answer indicates. But there are other possibilities. For example, let us say that one of the horrible names that you are being called is slob. For all we know, maybe you really are a very sloppy person who deserves to be called a slob. Perhaps your husband is expressing his frustration about real problems that you are causing him. If that is the case, you might be able to change your own behavior so that your husband will be happy with you and will no longer feel the need to call you horrible names. To really know what is going on I would have to speak to both of you, as a marriage counsellor, and hear both sides of the story. At this point the one definite conclusion I have is that your marriage is not working well, and needs to be either fixed or ended.
