I have assumed she has already spoken to him and he just doesn't feel there is a problem (which is quite common) and you are assuming that the councel is unjustified and unhelpful (which can also happen). Certainly they should first seek each other on the issue and go to the Lord about it together. Both need to be humble in all steps of that process. But, even as Christians, we come from brokeness and often don't see our own part in a failing relationship. It is better to seek goodly councel than to fumble in our own sin or arrogance and let the devil get a foot hold in any relationship with a brother or sister, romantic or not. True love is acting in the other person's best interest no matter what. Christ did this, both when He corrected Peter and when He kept His mouth shut in order to let the rediculous charge against Him send Him to a cross. If our loved one does not feel heard by us... what should they do? Post Reply

A woman going to her girl friend can be a good thing if she has the wisdom of God. If you take the time to know her friends you will better be able to talk about who you would feel comfortable with her talking about your relationship with. Support her need to do so but you also have a say if you are significantly in relationship together. Relationship is about colaborating and seeking the ohters permission many times. Giving our rights to the other. Dating should be the testing ground to build trust and see if a couple can do this. When a couple becomes married according to scripture we give up our rights. We give power over to our souse. the problem is that not every couple practices this prior to marriage and when they find that the other is not trustworthy the cloud nine dissapates until you are left with falling on our faces. As men we are called to die to self especially. We are the ones called to love sacricicially, to view our wives as spotless, to see them as honorable vessles. A tall order we have. :) Post Reply

God renews minds as well as Spirits and bodies. He is a God of Life. He looks to complete everyone of us. He uses the trials of life to do so. We only need to give up our pride and confess our dependence upon Him and learn how to trust Him in a greater way as we look to Him. Post Reply
View Profile History	why do women go to other women for advice instead of the scribtures Posted : 31 May, 2012 04:19 PM I talk to my Girl Friends not to take advice, but just that they listen to me when I have some type of relationship problem. I make up my Own mind about what to do about that relationship. Often times, Men do not talk about the problems they just try to Fix things, without communicating fully their Feelings to the woman. And, Often times Men do not want to listen to a Woman's feelings. Post Reply
