| | | | If I already didnt hate the male sex already....
Oh my word, I was out last night with a few of my friends (we are all christians) and somehow marriage came up in conversation. Anyways 2 of the guys there were talking about how if their future wife didnt have sex all the time or like to have sex they would consider leaving her... I was utterly disgusted! And the thing is, they were all in agreement! It seems like thats all they cared about. I thought boys went thru this when they were like 18-19 or so and not christians. But these guys were from 21-25 years old!!!!! I couldnt believe it
I was also having a conversatoin with some other christian females at the camp I worked at this summer, and why is it that {SOME}... or even alot of christian men think they can treat chrisitan women like dirt? Do they think that they can just repent and it be all ok? Do any of you other females experience this?
Like this guy that was persuing me and it was a whole long fiasco, and he totally had me, like I fell hard for him. And he always stands me up or dosent call or anything and hes being a total jerk. We were supposed to hang out last night, but then he decided that he was going to visit his friends, and didnt faile to call me or anything. Then I was talking to him later that night on MSN and he as all like Im so sorry and blah blah blah
arg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
And people wonder why I want to take 6 months and concentrate on God and forget about boys.... just so hard   |

Yeah, I was going to say that this new outlook on men might make the next 5 months and 27 days a little easier.
But we're not all like that SotF. So on behalf of men, "We're sorry".
And don't get me wrong, Sex = Fun, but not all of us would call it quits if we weren't going at it 24-7.

These fellows were just being honest, at least you know they are not up to par. I wouldn't put an arbitrary 6 months away from guys rule up if I were you. I would go out as friends with lots of guys in group dates with Christian friends to get a feel for what's out there. If you do this and pray for God's guidance you'll learn alot and maybe find the man God wants you to. |

| | | | I dont see whats wrong with setting 6 months aside from men, to grow closer in my relationship with God. I didnt say that I wasnt going to talk to another male in that six months. However I just feel this is what God wants me to do. And just say IF I DO meet someone durring that time span, and he is truely who God wants me to be with, he will resepect my decision and he will waite. And if thats not the case, and he dosent want to waite, then he wasnt the one.
And anyways, the Bible says that the man does the persuing, so whats the point of me persuing guys, when God clearly says that man shall persue the woman. The man who is right for you will pursue you and God's hand in the relationship. Then it will be clear No guessing. Scripture says: "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord" ( Prov 18:22).
Note - who finds whom? THE MAN FINDS THE WIFE. From the beginning of time,God has transported men & women across the world in order to put them together. At the RIGHT TIME, He will bring that man on the scene and he will find me or you or whoever else is out there |

TV doesn't expect men to treat women respectfully, in fact, it's a rare event to show a man respecting his wife these days, and that's how even our guys think marriage should be.
Sad, but unless Christian men learn a different way, this is how they act.

Wow! You conscrue that to mean the man has to do the pursuing? Cuz I think that means that a wife is a gift from God and men ought to treat them like such.
