That’s funny, because while reading this thread I thought of a few mail order brides from Abaddon who came in light and left in darkness. The risk of being corrupted by her American "sisters" is unfortunately high.
I don’t believe we have the maturity or capacity to walk out every situation. I prefer to be honest with myself and acknowledge my limitations. Truth is better than divorce.
Joni Eareckson Tada is married. She has significant physical challenges. But her husband’s love and grace was greater than the issues she faced. And she was reluctant to get involved.
Not everyone could do what he did or would do so. God equipped him for it. We all have areas of strength and weakness. If I’m not the best option I’d prefer he selects the one who is.
You need a woman who understands the signs of stroke."
Don't most other countries have this choice too?Americans have two choices. They can marry a women from this country or they can marry a women from another country
Her story is rare, indeed.
This can mean someone is trying to use a woman. I think love does not have us trying to use anyone. This means not only one I want to marry, but I love every person first and do not require that anyone do what I dictate. And this can help me to keep in shape for loving my wifeOf course this guy seems a little weak in the dating area, plus likes his girls 40 years younger than himself.
I find how Satan will isolate people with each other, and this can keep them from finding out how to love. We need to share as family with various other children of God. And while we are doing this, possibly we will discover a companion who is all-loving and who relates the way the Bible says to relate >The god of this world really has a hold on so many people and sometimes in secluded ways.
One thing, I have to admit from my own experience, is beauty discrimination. I have been able to gawk at ones who look the way I like. But can a younger one relate maturely in God's love? And if I use younger women just to look at them, this is not loving. I am finding God correcting me that using anyone is not loving.When I was 18 I asked my father why older men liked younger women. He warned me and told me to avoid them. And I took his advice.

And I get into such better love, by not using people just to look at them, but care for every one in prayer and be kind to them. After all, among other things, ones maybe have been suffering and embarrassed with the discriminatory attention they get; they need to meet men who care for them and are gentle and humble like Jesus.
Pastor David Jeremiah said recently.
"I am not afraid to die but, I would prefer not to be there when it happens."
A stroke -- if fast and complete -- might be good.

Most strokes are not "fast and complete," most are long and ragged and just leave you crippled. For the majority that won't kill you, quick action will leave you better off.
What does a stroke have to do with a wife...?
*Oh...I see...
Well, this started from Sinbad's comment, "[When you're over fifty] You need a wife who knows the signs of stroke."

Might be better than
being married to the wrong one?

If you’re not good at “finding” a wife you might not be ready for one. You should have something to offer and know how to give and receive love.Not good with that sorts of things.

As a woman in her 40’s I can’t fathom a relationship with someone 20. Our seasons are dramatically different. I would feel like I was exploiting him in some way. Clearly, I’m not a cougar. ;-)
