Single waiting for the one I will fall for mentally and yes honestly, physically. But I may have just met her now.

Thanks, Lotuspetal. I got your message. What has to happen has to happen. We are to serve God, not people, no matter what the cost. In most cases of a loving ralthioship, the cost is more than anything I can imagine. I just can't get over it, me myslef having had to go through that once. I...

Can someone advice on a smooth exit from an unequally yoked relationship. Prayer, of course. Then tell them your partner the truth. That seems to be the obvious, advisable way. But some people are in relationships that, except for the significant reality of difference in faith, are abosultely...

What would happen if one of them discovers their lack of attraction to the other during pre-marital counselling? Most people don't seek pre-marital counselling, and a lot of things are not communicated openly. When the issues arise in marriage, it becomes more devastating. But my...

You can suddently speak in tounges also when you are in prayer, that happens to me sometimes, while praying by myself or with other people. So you can speak in tounges when in prayer by faith, or you are praying in faith and others pray for you for a gift of tounges. That's how I understand it...

If you haven't been able to speak tounges, try: 1-faith first 2-then others praying for you. It happened to me a few times although I didn't know what the tounge meant, I am not gifted for interpretation or haven't prayed for that gift. I am not even sure these things are gifts, they may...

I hear a lot of ladies say that the one thing that would make them happy next to being Saved is getting married. I also thought that was true, although I (also as a guy) have been more pessimistic about marriage than most.

Seangoh, I liked your Bible commentary. You said you copy and pasted. So is the commentary some kind of soft file? It seems to have verses by topic. What is it? Where can I get it?

Yes, Tami is right according to my current beliefs. There is no way I will want to "finish the process." Both my potential future partner and I know and stand strongly agains sex before marriage. That's way out of the question. My question is whether being physically intimate to trigger a strong...

Thanks, Hotknikkels. On question 2, I never said "sex."(It's clear for many including myself that sex before marriage is wrong.) I was talking about touch, hold, caress (face, hair, hands), and kiss, and the feelings that follow such as the desire and longing for that person. The body if...

In conclusion of your responses, not even being in the same room alone with someone you haven't yet committed yourself to marry is wrong. Then, two more questions come to my mind: (you may respond if you please from your own reasoning and experience, but quoting scripture will also be more...

In my opinion, the question has not been answered: If you touch and kiss before marriage, does that constitute disobeying God? Touch and kiss is obviously not sex, but there are kinds of touches and kisses that can count as lust. And then comes my own question, your desire for the other...

Thank you all for shading enormous light on my delimma. It almost got nasty at some point when a couple of us got "silly." I just want to express my sadness in that. Anyhow, some of us (including myslef) have come honest and said that physical attraction does matter in marriage. Most...

There is similarity between music and translations. Just as in music, if I read any particular translation, even a not-so-good one, I become familiar with it and will always loke it best that way. So no translation can be a bad one for anyone if they read that first. I like the NIV myself. There...

Caffeine. Soccer and Classical Piano music - guilty pleasures because they sometimes share my Bible reading time and I have missed church because of soccer and piano practices.

In other words, a married couple are allowed to have sex for expressing their love for each other, although not always with the intention of procreating.

So the person who said sex is for marriage and procreation only is only partially right according to the will of God/Bible. Right? I wonder what the basis of thinking it is only for procreation is.

I hope this lines up with the subject: Someone here wrote that sex should only be for marriage and procreation. For marriage only, of course. For procreation only, I am not sure. Please comment.

Thank you all very much. I have decided to take my time, and decide carefully for the long journey of marriage. God Bless you all for sharing your perspectives with me. If you have more to say, keep it coming. Thanks.

Ok. How much should I be attracted PHYSICALLY to think I have a basis for marriage. I am 75% attracted. But I have been 95% attracted in my previous relationship. And I was hoping to get around 90% this time. Sorry to be using numbers, but I thought that is the best way to communicate the...
