I'm trying to work through as issue right now. It's one of those "I know what I want, but I'm not sure if it lines up with what God wants" kind of things. I really want to buy World of Warcraft, but I'm concerned that my personal relationships might suffer if I play too often. MMORPG's are a...

I'm 6 years older then my fiancee. I never really notice the difference until I try and talk to her about the cool cartoons I watched as a kid. She never has any idea what I'm talking about...

This is a tough, natural thing that happens. I'm getting married in January, so I know what you're talking about/experiencing. First off, regardless if you're even in a relationship, you do get hit on all sides by the media with photos, commercials, etc. of beautiful people with not so...

Alas, it sounds like she thinks you're not the right guy to be with in a romantic relationship. I've heard things said like this before and generally what it means is that they would prefer to date others. I think because you're friends, she trying to let you down gently, but I would consider...

We be broke. I definitely wanted us to have some time away from everyone and be able to enjoy the newness of being married to one and other. However, the cashola situation represents that of most third world countries. Enter prayer. I prayed a great deal asking God to please bless us with a...

Hey all. I'm 32 and she's 26. We're getting married in the near future, January 22nd 2005. From the ages I see so far, guess we're kinda the "older" couple. We live in Ohio and are hoping for no snow storms on the wedding date. We just worked out where our apartment is going to be. I'm...

I got my fiancée a conflict-free diamond from Canada. Check out Polar Bear diamonds. Each diamond is mined and polished within the Canadian border; it's not shipped off to Asia to be polished by little kids and returned to Canada for selling. That two month bit on the cost of the ring is...

From what you wrote, it sounds like the main reason you don't want to get married is fear. Perhaps as you get older and hopefully gain more self confidence in yourself and trust in God, you won't be so worried about what might happen. God knows it's taken me long enough to figure it out...

mrstace does have a point. You listed everything that's rather surface about a person. I'm hoping you try and dig a little deeper when you're interested in a woman. Otherwise you're going to have a woman who might be great according to worldly standards, but we all know if she's not up to...

I am in no way saying friends should be disposable. I am saying that people's priorities change, and you need to give them leeway in that. There is also a very important point here. YOU are the one to decide how you feel about your friends not spending as much time with you. I think it is...

How many threads are people of different social circumstances going to go gunning after one and other? You can always find singles complaining about married people and vice versa. You all know that marriage is a huge, life altering experience. Why would you ever think that that person would...

Xen a few things: (1) I highly suggest you no longer refer to yourself in the 3rd person. (2) Searching for a girl is all about highs and lows. I'm sure you know this, so don't get super discouraged just because some russian love bot is coming after you as well as some freaked out guy named...

I agree with bliz that he needs to get a male accountability partner. It's not a sleight to you that he should discuss this with someone else, it's just I think he will have a much easier time relating and feeling comfortable discussing this with another dude. I have an accountability partner...

Have you thought about getting a titanium ring? It's completely neutral to the human body. Plus it's super strong and light. Might work for you...

This kind of question seems to me that you're screwed either way. If you don't feel that you're attractive, then you have low self-esteem. If you feel that you are attractive, then you are considered prideful. We all have our personal body issues. All of us. Unfortunately the media has...

Great response missju. As a recent Christian, I am trying to purify my beliefs and behaviors. However, I can never erase my very impure past before I knew Christ. If someone can't accept that, well, then as you said, they are missing out on some wonderful opportunities to enjoy one and other...

The road is difficult, no doubt. But you know life is always going to involve tough situations and choices. Christ is refusing to let go of you. May His presence continue to strengthen you and turn you into a "little Christ". Well done, brother....

The last relationship I was in where we had "our song" was Control by Puddle of Mudd. I wasn't a Christian at the time, and neither was she. Needless to say the song, and that relationship, was not particularly healthy...

I certainly don't want to come across as searching for a "cheap" alternative. I just want the ring to be more about my expression of love to her then about how much it costs. Getting a different stone, like a sapphire or her birthstone, is an intriguing thought. I’ll have to check that out...

Thanks for the responses. I think your comment on premarital counseling is dead on. I definitely want to attend that with her. I would assume that’s something you do after you are engaged? I should probably start a whole new thread on the ring thing. Due to research I’ve done on DeBeers...
