On our American calendars, this day, the 14th of February of every year, is marked as “Valentine’s Day.” It is a day of celebration of love where those in romantic and love relationships, and including married couples, usually express their affection for one another with mushy romantic greeting...
Not a unique problem, I know, but I'm a very socially awkward person who ended up, by some miracle of God, making friends with this girl who had similar artistic interest to me. I always knew she was gorgeous, but I always figured she was off-limits, so I was content to just be friends.
But...
"It's like your sitting in a sandbox surrounded by endless beach and you just sit there and pick away at only the KJV" said CJ to Chancy in the prison Chapel. Chancy spoke without considering, again... quoting nothing, but in a vain attempt to sway CJ, Chancy said "I do sit in a sandbox...
This is about writing romance into stories, not reading romance novels.
I'm currently working on a science fiction story, where the two main characters are married. There's no smut or anything, their romance isn't what drives the story (but the fact that they want to escape a situation they're...
Hello! Does anyone have any knowledge of ancient Jewish pre‐marriage customs, customs pertaining to what couples did before being betrothed/married? In other words, since the dating concept we have today is a modern one, how did people find a spouse in Biblical times? For example, would Song of...
I am 25 years old and I am fully aware that God has a husband for me. By choice, I have opted to remain a virgin as I want to save myself for the man that God has promised to me. However, I am part of a large church and a lot of girls my own age who go there are already married and some even...
Psalm 73:1-3 ESV
Truly God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.
But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,
my steps had nearly slipped.
For I was envious of the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
The flesh can be very alluring. Sin can be extremely...

In Facebook I saw this: “Why what is about romance? Is but natural for lovers to have romance especially to married people?” But since 1990 I have been teaching and counseling for Ephesians 5 marriages. Most marriages in the USA were not Holy Spirit urged marriages. In...
Hello everyone!
I am a 25 years old guy and I would like to ask for you to pray for me please.
I am in deep love with a girl whose heart I can not move alone. I pray a lot for God to help me out because I have the feeling deep down she is the one, and if I keep at it, respecting her, helping...
I've been dating for about twenty years and am hardly ever interested in any man I meet. There were about two exceptions. I really, really liked these men but they ended it because they just weren't that into me. With one of them, I had a pretty good relationship with and thought it was...
My wife and I already have a great marriage. I’ve been married 5 years, we have 3 kids, 2 deployments, we’ve made it through a lot already. When we were dating, I was never romantic. I’m not a romantic guy. I never have been. I don’t think of romantic things to do, I’ve honestly always thought...
As I finish up only one more years worth of some pretty technical coursework, I am not particularly interested in romance right now, but would love to pursue it after getting out of school and finding a job. But of course my anxiety and lowly self-esteem have got in the way, in particular...
I am approaching 20 years of age, as my birthday is in June. Like all young men, my flesh yearns for romantic female contact. However, in accordance with God, I am staying sexually pure until I am married.
The problem is this. I'd love to date a girl and get married but I'm absolutely 100% dead...
I want to start by looking at what the bible says in:
1 Corinthians 7:32-35
"I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests...
Hi Everyone! For this thread, I've posted a video by Atheist, Rachel Oates, an educated, seemingly classy young gal, wherein she reviews a presentation from a Christian guy known as 'ThatChristianVlogger' who addresses a specific tangent about relationship expectations which have to do with why...

We are very active within our church ministries in both the youth department & Praise & worship & music ministry.
We have a little boy, who is in school, and a six month old baby girl. Shortly after her...
Hey forum,
I'm with the production team behind the new film "The Good Catholic" starring Danny Glover & John C. McGinley.
I feel the portrayal of the Catholic Church in most forms of media is limited to scandals or stereotypes, fueling a dismissive attitude towards religion from people outside...
"Falling in love" Do you have a scriptural foundation for this, and verses to support it. Does "falling in love" have a Biblical definition or explanation, or are you speaking from experience, or from what you have read in books or seen in movies. Not being critical, just asking. You see...
“I have been in the West Lafayette area for a few years now and always looking to meet new people. I am a very hard worker and love my job. I work a lot, but I know how to balance well. I enjoy meeting new people and i love adventures, outdoors, watching movies, dancing, and traveling. I made...
Far too often the world is seen as having the best understanding of and expression of romance. I believe it is God who is the Creator of romance and much of his heart on the subject is clearly and beautifully expressed in the book Son of Solomon. My love for this book inspired me to sing and...
