The term ''falling'' is a cultural term, but to love someone else, the way Jesus loves us...that is true love. This is why we don't see it much in romantic relationships and marriages, because it's hard to find, and hard to do, actually. :oops:
it's a choice. Real love is a choice. Choosing to put another's needs above your own- to sacrifice for them- not just once- but over and over, every day, day after day. To give yourself up for a person as Christ gave Himself for us- even when you don't 'feel it'-- especially when you don't feel it.

My long lost twin. :blush:

Not sure anyone can guarantee that a marriage will last forever, even with the best of intentions, even with believing in God. Someone cheats on you, and ...boom! It's over. At least, that would be a dealbreaker for me. So, you can't control another person. But, I'd like to believe that if God is included in the decision making process BEFORE marrying the person, then 'til death do us part' might not be such a far fetched idea.
The bible says unless God designs the house, the builders labor in vain.

I'm single because I don't want the government involved in my life more than required.
But I have 4 GFs and so many other friends that I can't keep up with them. A wife would most likely ask me to end relationships which I have no plan of doing.
So I'm single and not really single.

There is no end to should this or should that. What I hear is that one should try for the better deal. Got four women to sleep with might be a better hand than just one. I wonder what the better deal is for me. "For me" seems to be the god at work. You can title yourself "christian" or not, it really doesn't have much pull.

I may not be what girls want, but that's okay because my mom tells me I'm special on the inside 8)

Which is far more important than superficial relationships with superficial people. :oldthumbsup:

I don't want to fall now in love. In two years, when the biggest part of my studies will be done, I may think about it. Seriously, I will not have the time next year and the year after: I truly hope it won't happen. And if I have to repeat a year, same thing. Even if I really would like a boyfriend and I am almost jealous of some friends with nice and funny boyfriends.
However, studies first! Let my endless ambition decide! And I have time.
