    Please share your stories of how you met.

    My husband and I met through a mutual friend in college. We became friends but didn't start dating until the following fall. When we started dating, it was a mutual decision. We used to talk over the phone late at night. One night he asked me to go out with him... then he fell asleep. The next...

    How important is physical attraction in a successful marriage?

    I would advise to think about and look for traits you find attractive in a man's character first. Get to know people before you decide if you're attracted to them or not. Some guys that are outwardly hot are not that attractive in their character traits and even if they are, like you said, some...

    Sexual Disappointment

    Just like anything else in a strong relationship - keep working on it. Do some research, ask questions, be forgiving and patient, and try different things until something works.

    amazing facts?

    He's a smart man and a good student and preacher of history and biblical prophecy. His ministry is much appreciated by the Adventist Church as a whole. It is important to understand that within the Adventist Church there is room for a variance of opinions and views. We mostly agree on some...

    finances

    I come from a family that is like this. It sucks sometimes. It's really hard to learn how to handle money right, and once you do figure it out it's really hard to say no when there's a perceived need. Two things I would suggest to her, were her a friend of mine asking for advice. First, move...

    Do I leave him or marry him?

    You've already answered your own question. Do you want to marry him? Do you want to marry him just so you can engage in sexual behavior or is there a deeper love and friendship that will actually be a good foundation for a marriage? You seem to be saying to yourself that this is not a...

    Prayer Request

    Yeah... that's a common and probably a good suggestion. But currently, that's not the most helpful response. Prayer is powerful. We need prayer right now. Thank you.

    Sex before marriage?

    Hello. In the interest of being practically helpful, I will let you know my thoughts. If it's not helpful, that's fine. But I hope that it is. What you asked/described makes me wonder if you two are putting money in a place of priority where it doesn't belong. Money by itself is worthless and...

    Prayer Request

    Just submitting a prayer request that has been on my heart. My husband has been struggling with several issues that are all tied together in a way, and he's gotten to a point where he's very frustrated because he feels like he's not getting anywhere. Like Paul said, he feels like he does what he...

    Why conspiracy theories are destroying true spirituality

    I wish these history facts about our church founding was more widely known and accepted. It would be very helpful in our dialogue with one another if we didn't assume the other person knows what we mean when we refer to the "pioneers'" viewpoints or ideological/theological positions.

    What can i do about a man who seems interested but has never approached me?

    Don't be defeated, sister! Be empowered! It sounds like it's been pretty obvious to you that he's interested. But since he's been single for so long, it's very possible he will not make the first move. If you want a real relationship to begin, you may have to be the one to approach him. But...

    WHATS THE DEAL ABOUT MRS ELLEN G WHITE??

    I hear your point... but the denomination is centered on Christ. The reason Mrs. White is respected within the denomination is because she continually directed and redirected our church back to Christ. It is true that some within the denomination abuse the use of her writings and insights. There...

    Why conspiracy theories are destroying true spirituality

    I agree! This is what I become nervous about for the spiritual health of our church family, because when we think we know it all we stop searching. And that's a dangerous place to be. It reminds me of Matthew 24:23-24 where Jesus says false messiahs and false prophets will arise and deceive...
