@Deidre32 I am not really sold on looks. And this thing called "true love" sounds mysterious and good, but it seems more of a mask to say, "I get a lot out of this relationship right now." Falling out of true love is the calling card of betrayal; christian or not, married or not. At least as an outsider that is how it all looks to me.
The term ''falling'' is a cultural term, but to love someone else, the way Jesus loves us...that is true love. This is why we don't see it much in romantic relationships and marriages, because it's hard to find, and hard to do, actually. :oops:

OMgoodness, my twin sister. I am going to try that title of serial dater, its way better then what I use to use.

I have learned that the reason I use to date so much without committing is because I liked the company but did not want them in my everyday personal life.

I liked spending $600 every two weeks on a new gun. I liked spending $5000 a year on a new motor. I liked having my own money that was mine only but I wanted company on the weekends and only the weekends.

I liked doing my thing all week and then on the weekend I wanted to pick up a pretty woman and go to the races and hit a party and hangout all weekend but I want to be free on Monday with no commitments. Two or three weeks was all I wanted to know you because after that it starts to get serious and I did not want that.

I also did not want to have to go through the heart break of another love relationship, love hurts when the relationship is over and I never want to go through that again.

But all in all I just like to have dinner with a pretty woman and then I am happy.

I always wondered if I had a brother out there somewhere. :asd:

Your comment about ''love hurts when the relationship is over,'' is sticking with me. Yea. It is hard to avoid pain it seems when love comes into the picture. :/ Serial dating is an easier way out, but...love is what we were created for, if we are Christians, we believe this, no?

I have found that everything in this world has an equal and opposite reaction so all the love we put into a relation to bring us together requires an equal and opposite reaction when we break apart so it causes an equal amount of hate to cause that love to go away and in my experience it hurts way too bad to want to do it again. I will not commit until I know for a fact with out a doubt that we will last until death do us part.

My long lost twin. :blush:

Not sure anyone can guarantee that a marriage will last forever, even with the best of intentions, even with believing in God. Someone cheats on you, and ...boom! It's over. At least, that would be a dealbreaker for me. So, you can't control another person. But, I'd like to believe that if God is included in the decision making process BEFORE marrying the person, then 'til death do us part' might not be such a far fetched idea.

I don't know how hard to find or do. I'm thinking it is hard to be willing.
