I believe in sticking to your standards, but you may need to look at lowering your expectations. Do I expect to find a man that doesn't have bad habits, or personality quirks that annoy me? No. But I do have standards of how a man can treat me and still expect to have me walk down the aisle to...

Why don't you ask her?

Do what's right before the Lord and risk the consequences. Your brand new spirit will lead you and God will never let you down.

There have been men in my life that I came to love after getting to know them - but I also don't want to be with them in marriage for varying reasons. Another example might be coming to love a non believer and knowing marriage isn't wise. When you say it's illogical to you, what you are saying...

Our God is a God of redemption.

So, what's the next chapter in this story?

Certain theological & political differences, disrespect, poor communication, lack of interest in study of scripture, overly interested in chasing spiritual 'highs', and arrogance are among the top of my NO-GO list. Also, cats. I have allergies to blame for that one.

Sadly, since her husband was previously in leadership at the church, she's very uncomfortable talking to anyone there. Also, it was another member of that church who she believes her husband to have had an emotional affair with. It's a messy situation, but not beyond God's healing hand!

Very encouraging and helpful resources!!

Yes! Sometimes it's terribly disheartening for me to hear her go on like that as a single person who desires marriage. Her advice to me is always of the "better single than in a bad marriage" kind and I think.... isn't having a good marriage an option? She doesn't seem to think so. You are right...

Thank you, I have on several occasions encouraged her to speak with someone locally, a counselor of some kind. She did go, ONCE, but said she didn't really share everything that was going on. I really wish she would keep going and be willing to be completely open.

I have a girl friend who has been complaining and venting to me about her husband & marriage for at least 2 years. She's constantly sending me articles or little quotes to support her perspective that she shouldn't stay in the relationship. She claims he's a narcissist, autistic, alcoholic, into...

Hello, I'm rather new to the forums and so far folks have been polite here which I appreciate. I would like to comment on the chapter in Hebrews that has been brought up. When we read the chapter in light of the whole book, verse 26 is re-iterating verses 10 and 18 which are declaring that the...

I very much appreciate everyone's thoughts and you can well see how I'm feeling torn. Wanting to always pray for those on our hearts, but also wanting to be cautious of keeping an unhealthy attachment. I'd hoped maybe someone could share an experience where their continued prayers for an ex...

Is this the definition you're speaking of? Defining terms is important in this question. om·nip·o·tent /ˌämˈnipəd(ə)nt/ adjective 1. (of a deity) having unlimited power; able to do anything.

If God can't change his mind, then God can not and has not ever had a brand new thought - all His thoughts were at once and are entirely complete. This is lunacy, IMO. The nature of who God is does not change, He is consistent in that way, but his mind most definitely can move within the realm...

I would appreciate some thoughts/wisdom in regards to whether or not I should continue praying for the well being of an ex. I've never struggled so much to let go of a relationship before and I know that will come with time, but I still feel like I want to keep praying for his well being and...

Yes, I do understand progressive change, but from what he's told me, he's been a believer for decades. I'm not saying he can't be saved if he swears now and again, but this is someone who uses it in everyday conversation (among other habits). I want to be cautious not to hurt him by denying...

Hello Brothers and Sisters. I'm wondering if anyone can share some thoughts if you've dealt with something similar. I've worked with someone for a couple years (in different departments) and have just been getting to know him in the last couple months. Up until now I had seen no indication that...

I use Google Voice which is great at filtering out known scam numbers. Also, most smart phones have options to block callers once you know it's a scam.
