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*
U r so very welcome.
So u live in Houston now :wink: .

"and only used at one's convenience. Maybe we do that becuz we don't look at our spirituality as romantic, so we seperate it. But the God that i know is a God of romance. He sings love songs to me, has phylisophical sonnets written to me in the Bible, and often whispers sweet nothings in my ear. Maybe it's about time that i go out on more dates with him, then worrying about these negros who could careless about my soul
You got me on that last part, you worded this beautifully!
I definitely understand Sweet Girl and Wisdom_Tree in regards to the aspect of a relationship when it involves worshipping the same God... AND I'm talking about the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A relationship is certainly more fruitful, etc. when a couple and agree in prayer, etc. I just wanted to echo you on that. Keep on talking and praying (write down the qualities,etc. that you want in the person you will marry... and refer to that list when you meet someone that you want to enter into a relationship with to make sure that you don't compromise your standards and beliefs) to God for the proverbs 31 women that you desire... and be sure that you are developing yourself into what a proverbs 31 men would be. Be Blessed!

true
my parents aren't the overly religious always in church type.
but they both are spiritual and believe in God and are good people.
they get along very well and the house is full of laughter.
spiritual couples do get along better, there's something there.
