God teach me to love someone knowing exactly their faith,heart and later their physical ,teach me to dwell in your presence so that I may share my love with a man who values your Kingship
We've been together for 3 years, we've to the best of our ability, by God's grace, determined that we are compatible and we know that we want to live life together. But right now, I don't have the finances to get married, I'm not even talking about a wedding.
I still live with my folks, who refuse to support me until I finish college next year, and there aren't that many jobs available for me to do. I desire marriage because I believe what God says about it. I'm waiting, but it's getting very exhausting.
I agree it is not healthy to have mixed faiths. Your faith is where your core values come from and if practiced regularly is where your character and daily practices stem from. I am not saying that it is impossible to be "good" without faith. I am saying BECAUSE of my faith i strive to push myself to think, act, and pause even meditate on things that I otherwise would not have cared for had my faith not explained the importance of this. For example, forgiveness.ย My faith has taught me alot in this matter and even helped me heal from difficult circumstances because my faith called for a more "in depth"ย understanding of the circumstance. I also experienced a very painful separation from someone who had a different faith.
I was a single mom and he a single dad, me a non denominational Christian and he a raised catholic now non participant. He claimed he now wanted to pursue Christianity for our sake. 5 years of painful separating,ย first we attended church together, then he slowly left, then taking his child out, and later moving to separate cars, separate events, even not sitting together at the dinner table, then separate rooms. I not only lost a spouse,I lost a daughter. I do not recommend.
This is true. I would like to see churches that have singles groups to deliberately promote CHRISTIAN COURTSHIP, and explain the difference between Christian courting vs. worldly dating. In the Bible I do not see men & women loosely dating but I do see examples of men & women honorably courting one another. Two divorces later, Iโm starting to try to understand Christian courting principles ๐๐ฝโฅ๏ธ
I have a crush on one of my friends and yes he's handsome but he's also one of the people who I've seen chasing God the most. We have a class together this semester and I'm praying that God will give me patience and clarity and that I will be able to give my friend room as well so he can see if he likes me, because I don't want to put him in a weird position if he isn't ready but I want to get closer and learn more about him. Say a quick prayer for me if you can please!!
Happyness is ultimately seccussefull dating all the way through bu s** if sheโs not happy let her go nd better go fix yo life ๐คฃ real talk โค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐๐ฏ
Completely unrealistic. You are clearly a married man not living out singleness and probably an overprotective father and a male feminist.
The Bible says nothing of this. There is no "biblical dating". The Bible is mostly arranged marriages. Good luck with that today. Where in the Bible does it say you should date first by getting to know the person on the inside? Not saying that's a bad idea but the bible just doesn't say it anywhere. It was all arranged marriages back then. This is just your idea, not the bible. It's what everyone wishes for but is it's easier said than done.
The principles here are good in theory but how are you going to make that work? You can't see the inside. That only comes out after months of getting to know each other. In fact, that's not even the real inside. That only comes out after 5 years of marriage when the pressure is on and the real person appears.
The physical is important. You have to be attracted to each other otherwise nothing is going to happen. Do you really expect people to spend 2 years together and never kiss or hug? Good luck with that. And it won't help you get to know each other better. All it will do is strain the romantic part of the relationship. It's just nonsensical stoicism.
On the other hand, having sex will destroy things because you become deeply bonded and then you can't see clearly.
No. Moderate physical and keeping your head on is the the only way to make a good judgement. And even that is a risk. All that is possible is to minimize the risk. You'll never eliminate it.
At the end of the day relationships are a risk. The rose has thorns. That's just the way it is
Sorry to tell you but Christians look at looks also! you can't have sex wtih someone if you don't like how they look. Faith doesn't matter if you aren't attracted to them!

God is great God bless everyone in Yeshuaโs name amen!
Some many lies wrapped into a little bit of truth. Masterful manipulation.
Dating can never be holy. It has no historical precedent and was a very recent invention that even the world has abandoned for the most part.
Amen

This is so good
Since when women care about biblical dating? That is why all biblical men are single.
Correction: God flips it right side up
why did the emphasize ladies?

Beauty has decay, but not love

This is so real. God help us ๐ข
Better not tell your wife the physicality is goneโฆ.
Has nothing to do with God but okay..
Starting with faith is hard, but Gods way is worth it. I'm just waiting for Him to send me one of His daughters to court and raise a family with.

Iโm probably the only Christian who has no desire for dating or marriage
Good point
