    I have a predicament: trying to discern God's will in the world of dating.

    [Disclaimer: I don't have too much time to edit this. My apologies for any sloppy writing or grammatical errors that may cause confusion.] Preface I used to be "spiritually conservative." I would be skeptical when people would say things like "God put xyz on my heart," or "God told me to do...

    Introducing myself - 40 year old Widow coming back to the flock.

    Hi, My name is Kristen. I've joined for guidance and enlightment on Scripture. I accepted Jesus as my Savior at 7 years old. My faith has always been strong and has guided most of my decisions. However I have strayed in the last 20 years. It was not until my husband suffered a heart attack...

    Doubts About Getting Married

    As a single, 22 year old man who desires to get married someday, I have only ever been in 1 relationship when I was 18 years old and that failed because she chose to give into depression and pushed me away and decided I was better off with someone else instead of her. Since my very first...

    How do I show my fiance that God is the answer to what he is seeking?

    I have been with my fiance for over four years now. To say it has been a bumpy road would be an understatement. He has dealt with a lot of mental struggles from *extreme* depression and anxiety and what some may even describe as a personality disorder. Many people question why I choose to stay...

    Can I ruin God’s plan for my life?

    Is it possible to destroy God’s plans for your life? If we make a mistake that causes us to unknowingly go against God’s plan for our lives will He really redirect us? I am a new Christian and my biggest fear is this. God revealed something about my future to me. I have faith it was Him...

    I've been waiting 7 years to get married, what should I do?

    We met when I was 16 and he was 24 (I'm now 24 and he 32). We pretty much fell in love at first sight. I didn't want to date him at first because of the age gap, but after a few months, it became too irresistible to refuse his advances. We were head over heels for each other. I wanted to save...

    Dating as a Christian

    Hello everyone, I've seen a bit of a similar thread in this forum. But I am wondering something slightly different. I want to know if, as a Christian, it is okay to date, for the sake of dating, (meaning, by my own definition, go on dates with anyone - Christian or non-Christian) without the...

    Regaining sexual purity in a relationship?

    Hi all, I'm very sorry if this is tmi but I need advice. I have been dating a wonderful man for over 9 months. We are both incredibly strong in our decision to wait until marriage, but unfortunately have rationalized until this point that "things leading up to sex aren't actually sex" and have...
