    Is Love really a choice?

    The Bible says He was/is without sin... but He was still a human (when on earth). He was our example, the Bible says to mimic or mirror Him. Because of Jesus we have access to the Father, access to the fullness of the Spirit of God, its all within us now. That's the same Spirit of God that was...

    Is Love really a choice?

    Yeah I know what you mean... it certainly does seem impossible, but God wouldn't call us to something that is unattainable. Jesus was a person and He was able to do it... for all of mankind! So it is possible, but again its a choice and most don't chose it (which is understandable).

    Is Love really a choice?

    The Bible talks about three difference types of love: 1- Eros = Romantic / sexual love 2- Phileo = Brotherly love 3- Agape = Unconditional I would imagine at least number 3 would be a choice.

I was married at 20yo and in retrospect had no idea...

    :amen: I agree, you need to listen to God. Don't act until you are certain of what God wants, pray, pray, then act. If you don't have clarity keep talking to God about it and ask Him for clarity, He will show you... we can't know whats right from a post on here if you want some advice talk to...

    Natural Family Planning

    My understanding is that it is a form of NFP, its the same but you use a barrier method when you are in the firtile times.

    Do many women avoid having children to keep their bodies tight?

    I dont know why anyone would need to have an excuse for not wanting to have their own children. Its not like we SHOULD have children, and if we dont have them, then we had better have a good excuse. Who cares why someone choses not to have a child... i would be more concerned about the...
