Talking with my parents in the car, I came to a revelation.
I very seldom come to revelations.
Godly couples dont have as many problems as others.
Now, Ive been seeing alot of questions and comments on the mens and womans pages about situations concerning some really awful things... Good or bad, I think we forget to ask ourselves what our religion would dictate us to do. Mostly because I think we tend to deviate from our religion when it concerns our love lives, as if they dont have any real bearing on us.
It makes life easier when two people believe in a merciful and great God. When two people can lean to his understanding and wisdom, they can live a fulfilled life through Him - not only in Joy but in happiness. Coming to the end of Proverbs 31, virtuosity in woman is described (to a womans son) and I believe men do a great disservice by dating loose women and that women do a great disservice by not following this example.
Two people infused in their religions can find a way to make things work and, through the grace of God, help them become better people. I challenge everyone to read a Proverb a day.
Nothin wrong with a little bit of church. - Tres
Well, its something my father has me doing...ever since I came back to Texas (and yeah Im in TX now, straight livin in Houston) hes been having me read one a day. Like on the 2nd day of the month we'll read Proverbs Chapter 2... its so good because some of the principles in there...youd NEVER guess were even thought of during the time frame. Almost all the problems guys are having now in their life can be solved and summed up in that one book - thats why in jail they have whats called the "Book of Knowledge" that only contains Proverbs and Psalms...Wisdom and Praise.
For people who lack a father figure in their life, I strongly suggest reading it. It gives you a sense of purpose and the sense of feeling like someones Son - and thats a feeling I wouldnt trade for anything.
Oh, thanks for the compliment *wink and a smile*

COSIGNS...my pops made me do the same thing when i was 13 or 14..i read the whole book and i still go back and read it...it simply tells the truth...as for the relationship thing, i agree too...right now im not even goin out and tryin to find that one girl because i know if i do my part spiritually, then God will take care of it...im not sayin im jus gonna sit and wait for her to come to my doorstep and say "here i am!!", but you get my point..and i do think that a lot of relationships are in disorder is because theres no spiritual foundation, i.e. celebrities relationships...how many celebrities get divorced every year or whatever...
which brings me to another point...i jus noticed that at all these awards show for artists and actors or whatever, they always say id like to give the glory to God but yeah im doin everything thats against God...but yeah thats off topic and im goin to stop typin now...
the best place to find "the best man" is always in church. Once you have JESUS than everything else will fall into place.
sad part is...just because u meet them in church doesn't mean that they're "Godly"...my last boyfriend went to church, was a PK like me, and was too busy tryin to "get some" from me...so I said forget it, cause I wasn't havin that lol. But true, once u have Jesus, everything does fall into place. That's happening for me now, slowly :grin:
Gurl ain't that the truth!
Both of my parents are Preachers and I know how ppl. try to stereotype us according to other examples that they have seen.
My God brother is a PK and he is so Bad its a shame but her got a wakeup call believe me.
My motto is everybody who come to church ain't saved.
And as long as you know Christ and have a relationship with him he will lead you to your Godly mate.
I would love to find a guy who i could take to church to me and we could worship together. If i start cryin, shoutin, or fallin out...he shouldn't be sittin there lookin at me like i just caught some kind of disease. We should also be able to pray together. I can't ever recall praying on the phone with a guy. If he was goin thru sumthin i would say "i'll pray for u", but never did we just take the time out to do it together. That probably explains why i'm single right now :???:

I gotta give you ur Props you are very articulate and smart.
people people, how can you expect good things to come if you aren't good to yourself? I'm talking spiritually good to yourself, help those who help themselves. Most people think that are in the right when most likely the are in the wrong. (Matthew 7:13-16) The bottom line is every problem you make in a relationship of any kind, could have been prevented. Most people think that because the bible was so long ago it can't help what is going on today, NO, WRONG!!! Please people if you take the time to read and understand you would see that it was written for every problem you may find yourself in. I done got off topic preaching sorry.
The best way to find a "GOOD MAN" wait and watch. Love is a gift from God, and when it come you know, but you cannot be greedy for the gift, or it will be a wolf in sheep cloth. People should get to know each oter on a spirtual level before they advance to any other level. If that person does don't love GOD..... ten how can you expect him\her to love themself enough to love you???? :smt102 food for thought.
I feel you. Women make the mistake of going out to hunt down a man and either get a wolf in sheeps clothing, compromise so they won't be lonely, or get someone to try to change them. We [males] do the same thing by having even LOW or no standards at all and just go and get anything. I personally wouldn't want to have a relationship like that with anybody that doesn't have a relationship with God cause that would cause so many problems off the back, then it would be a waste of time because I can't move to another level with somebody that I don't even agree with spiritually. I feel you too kenya. I need somebody that I can get down and pray with. Somebody that can give me encouragement and accepts my encouragement. Somebody that I can learn something from and vice versa. I'm not looking now because I have so much work to be done on myself. It would make no sense whatsoever to go into any relationship farther than friendship. But when I'm ready to start looking I want a proverbs 31 woman.
Keep up it Tres

U r so very welcome.
So u live in Houston now :wink: .
Why do we as a people often times tend to settle for less? There is no way that I could even think about having a relationship with a man who does not know Christ and have him first in his life. I have to have a man who is Godly and Christ centered and who is able to stand on faith. I need someone who is strong both spiritually and mentally. Someone who would help build me up and encourage me. He has to know the word of God and his actions should show that he is Christ Like and not afraid to let it show.
Tese you are right we could prevent more than half of the problems that we encounter today if we use the Bible our guide to life.(Psalms 119).
What also happens is that people rush into relationships and it is ususally for all the wrong reasons for example looking for love in all the wrong places. But if only they would wait (Isaiah 40:31) and let God take control in his time eveything falls into place.
