The most sought after women in the world--
Duane:
Remember: It is far better to be in NO relationship at all--than to be stuck in a BAD ONE!
been there/done that! Then along came Betty!!!!
In my first "marriage" I found this to be true!
"What is the ONE food--that once a woman eats it--it will absolutely KILL her sex drive? (It may take two weeks, two months, ten years-- but it's almost 100% effective!)
Answer: wedding cake!
Think back--
Did you EVER hear of a couple who SOUGHT COUNSELING because they were DATING/GOING TOGETHER just COULDN'T get interested??

Duane, thanks for the food for thought...
I once hear a advance that go like this: ''a girl needs a man that doesn't need a girl.'' I find this very interesting, since man could
get his emotional estability from Jesus himself and then be able to have the straight to manage his girl according with what is best for
both. Of course I am talking about man's whom are believers. However, I am not talking by experience, I am not married yet, actually I don't see a
gray future for me if I never get married, but I know I have more reason to do it than for not doing it, and so I am looking for it...
I remember there is a part on the Scriptures where it talks about the men being for his wife as Jesus is for his Church. I bet there
is a good leason there, I wonder what you mature married guys here in the forum think and/or have to say about it?

I know for me, I really wish there was someone I could curl up on the couch with. I'm just a babe compared to you guys, I've only come to the truth maybe a year ago. I was never really in Babylon, or even very religious at all. But when someone is looking for a mate and has been single a very long time (me) telling them "Don't worry, Jesus loves you more than any spouse could" uhh..for me anyways, just doesen't cut it. It's hard when you go to a gathering or an event and your the only single person there, it feels like all eyes are on you.

Hi Rob,
I can definitely understand, and empathize with, your feelings. Believe me, I can. Unless God does a miracle, there won't be a mate for me. The type of mate that I would desire is condemned by Scripture. Therefore, those weren't empty words about our Lord being our companion or loving us more than any person could. Those are words that I use for myself over and over whenever I see a couple together or some romantic scene comes on TV. Being 27 and knowing that in all likelihood I will be single the rest of my life is tough, but our Lord promised that He would never leave us or forsake us, and that does give comfort in those moments when one feels lonely. Our Lord also promised that God knows what we need, and if we seek first His righteousness and His Kingdom, all these things shall be added unto us. He also does not cause us to suffer unnecessarily, so He knows what's necessary for our greater good - all to His glory.
Again, I'm not saying any of this to "preach" to you or to "belittle" your feelings. I'm just trying to encourage - one broken heart to another.

Doug: Thank you. I didn't even know that I needed encouragement, but God did. I definitely needed that encouragement.

In Him,
John
