    How long before popping the question?

    Wise advice for sure! :) Thanks all of you. Just wanted to let you know where we are at. We have discussed marriage on many occasions and we definitley both want the same things, no doubt about it. I am 31 and Rebecca is 25, 26 in May. So I would like to think that we are both mature...

    How long before popping the question?

    Thanks guys. The reason I ask is because I am a new Christian. I only became a Christian, or should I say, a "real" Christian recently. My girlfriend has been brought up with very strong Christian influences and beliefs, whereas I am only starting to live my life as God intended now. I just...

    How long before popping the question?

    Hi all :wave: My girlfriend and I have been dating for just over seven months. In that time we have had our ups and downs...mostly ups!! And I know in my heart that she is the girl I want to marry. Purely because I have had many relationships and at no point have I ever wished to make such a...

    Am I expecting too much?

    You are totally right! Its great(well....if you get what I mean!) that I have found someone to talk to who has a similar mind set to me! I just seem to start the "snowball effect" each and everytime we have even the slightest little problem, I always turn things into a great big issue...

    Am I expecting too much?

    Thanks. I know what you mean. I just worry that if I do say something when she upsets me that I will begin to get on her nerves and push her away. I know its a silly way to look at things and maybe I am just being insecure but everytime I tell her how I feel or tell her baout something that...

    Am I expecting too much?

    Hi all, Can I ask your opinions on a coupe of things that have been upsetting me. I have been going out with a wonderful girl for 6 months and am very much in love with her. She tells me that she is in Love with me and I don’t have any serious reason to doubt her, but the last couple of days...

    how to approach a Christian woman...as a new believer?

    Hi Michael, I, like you came to Christ fairly late on in life, I am 31 and was brought to God by a girl whom I had fallen for. She was/is a very strong believer as are her family and has been raised with real Christian values. No sex before marriage, no co-habiting etc. I lived a pretty...

    How can I be sure of my faith?

    Hi guys! Strawberry, when you say you doubt your denomination, is it because you don't feel close enough to God? Or because you feel that Catholicism just doesn't ring true? Forgive me if I am talking out of turn or misunderstanding your post, but I think that any form of worship is a good...

    Thank you Lord!

    I spoke in Church for the very first time yesterday. I was really nervous because I have never done anything like that before. I am a new Christian and have just started my walk with God. On Friday of last week, I felt that I was slipping away from God, I didn't feel as close to him as I had...

    How can I be sure of my faith?

    Hi Jeffery, Yes. I have given my life to him. I appreciate what Jesus did for me, the pain and suffering he went through so that I wouldn't have to. Things have changed a lot for me over the past few weeks, I feel that I am truly coming into a relationship with God. I am praying more and...

    My Testimony

    My name is Darren, I am 31 (just turned) years of age and would like to share my testimony with you, in the hope that it may bring others, who find themselves in a similar situation to me, closer to God. I was raised in the Catholic faith and from a very young age was very much God fearing...
