    Does this sound bad??

    Because I have been questioning the exact faith I want to follow for a while, I have been open to others who can give me insight to their faiths to help me. I have been Catholic all my life, but the Non-denominational faith sounds more like the mindset that I 've always had. My girlfriend says...

    Age/ Right time for engagement.

    I'm not sure I understand the question... is it that you want a long engagement?? Long engagements are a great way to get to really know and understand the needs/wants (spiritual or worldly) of your spouse-to-be. My girlfriend says it takes a year to really get to know someone, and even longer...

    How long shall seek...??

    Does anyone think that there is a certain time that a person has to be with another to want to be with no other for the rest of their life. What must be shared between the two before such a decision is made?? Any age requirement??:angel: :bow:

    Meeting His MOM

    OrderMySteps and kristiXP both have great advice. Being yourself is one of the most important things. My mother told me that she looks most for what a girl is hiding. She absolutely loves my girlfriend becauseshe's upfront and as herself about everything. Having something to hide leads to...

    What to do??

    I do plan on visiting her Church when we are both home. I think the spiritual leading that goes on in a household should be taken up by both individuals... not a one way thing at all. I will not force anything on anyone, but just share my beliefs with those that I love. In the intitial stages...

    What to do??

    Thank you all so much for the ideas!! Basically, she just does not agree with praying to Saints, and confession, and what-have-you. She has been to my Church once, and she rather liked it for the country humbleness feeling that it puts out. If kids do come down the road (and we are talking at...

    Lets Talk About the people we love.

    I've been with Nicole for only three months, but the amount of time that we've spent together makes it like three years. I just knew I was done looking when I found her. Everyone says it's too early, and there may be problems, but any kind of relationship has compromises. It is the LOVE that...

    How do i know the guy i'm with is the guy God wants me to be with??

    I know that I have been looking for a soulmate all my life. I never really understood or did much of the dating thing. I can really relate to the feelings of just wanting to be with one person for a long time, rather than having many short, broken-up relationships. I am not saying don't date...

    if u break up with ur current date.....

    Just as love does not pick religion, I believe that the people that attend the same Church as I do not have a bearing if I were to stay or leave. Church is one of the only places I know where we can forget we are but mere people and share in the ONE SPIRIT, divided from hate and all things...

    Lets Talk About the people we love.

    Well, both of you ladies do give me hope. I'm in love with a wonderful woman named Nicole. Our distance is a drive of 3 and 1/2 hours (about two hundred miles). I never thought we'd make it going back to school, but it is the times together that show us that God has willed it, and if it will...

    What to do??

    I have been seeing my girlfriend for quite a while now. The subject of marriage has come up a few times, but we have a few years of college yet to finish. I have a few extra tacked on for med. school. She is a Non-denominational Christian, while I am Roman Catholic. She has clearly told me that...
