    Not married....yet.

    Shannon, I'm sorry. My last post might have been a little defensive. I understand what your saying, truely. It's one of my mother's major arguements. I have had some pretty dramatic events and changes take place in the last year. Still I wouldn't make a decision like this if I didn't feel guided...

    Not married....yet.

    Like my brother, who had a daughter with his now wife at 17 (he's 27): "marrige changes everything and nothing...it's a lot harder to get to know who you are when you're always with someone, not impossible, but very dificult." To that effect, we argue, fight, and have even screemed at one...

    Well, i certainly feel as though i'm winded after reading all of your posts. Still, I think I managed to get the highlights. We must communicate: communicate clearly, openly, candidly, honestly, and respectfully. We must communicate about finances(money; our perspectives on how, when, where, and...

    I'm getting married in December, yes that is my actual age, and, while I may be a little crazy, I am very much in love. We went to our first marriage counseling session yesterday. I wanted to know any advice you married folk might have. We have both prayed about this decision, and do indeed feel...

    Thanks for the support. Seems everyone endorses some kind of premarrital counseling. I'll take the advice and any other ideas you might have, its all uncharted teritory to me. Just happy to have my decision affirmed by other believers.

    We're trying to become more active in the church, finding one among the many in campus area. Both of our parents were previously divorced, so we also understand the importance of open and forthright communication. Plus, of course, we're actually going to speak with our home town minister today.

    Whats true anymore?

    I know the feeling, for every arguement a counter arguement. Still, 99 times out of 100 I sit in a chair I've never seen before and it supports me. It all comes done to what you put your faith in. Jesus always seems like the best awnser. Even those who believe absolutely nothing is 100% true...

    Eph 4:11-17

    Please, please, from now on let praise be given alone to the Spirit which informs me and us all. I am as suseptable to self-pride as anyone else.

    But...

    Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Of course we have the recorded word of Christ himself in the Gospels. When writing the rest of the New Testament, His diciples were informed by nothing other that the Holy Spirit, at one with Jesus, and the...

    Eph 4:11-17

    If the church is "completely furnished and equiped, it is also perfectly furnished and equiped. But I have no wish for this to turn into an disagreement over semantics. I hold the have the same meaning. It is my belief that this forum at large is not consistantly acting in the manner which...

    Eph 4:11-17

    Your words certainly do not offend me, Spiritofprophecy all though I have also been guilty at times of rapping myself in doctrine. My ardent hope is that these forums may be become an asset to the glorification of God and the advance of His kingdom. Pride was, indeed, the very foundation of...
