Admin	If you had to choose between... Posted : 13 Jun, 2010 02:27 AM ...the Perfect Mate, who Loved you Truly and makes your everyday Wonderful and filled with Laughter and Joy -- but you both have to work hard everyday to make ends meet and you sometimes have to do without the "finer" things in Life... Or The Less than Perfect Mate who has his faults and does not quite "ring" your bell, but provides you with all of your Heart's Desire and you both have a very nice and comfortable Life. Which one would you choose and why? Post Reply
View Profile History	If you had to choose between... Posted : 15 Jun, 2010 01:51 AM Oh, Arch, it's not lame at all; it's a completely valid question... For me, definitely number one, but I can understand why some would go for number two. I grew up in a family that had more than an adequate amount of funds, but we were VERY dysfunctional. I would so much rather have had a Christ-centered home than money. But, having struggled a lot financially out on my own, I will say that it's really stressful sometimes... and that could be difficult on a marriage... So, #2 could be enticing. I like stability, and being in a comfortable situation helps out with the stability thing. But, God helps out even more with the stability thing =) Proverbs 30:8 "Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread." Post Reply

First I don�t believe anyone�s perfect�since we all fall short and we all have faults. I�m assuming both of these men are Christian�s of course. Secondly, I believe the purpose of marriage is to display Christ�s love for the church. We sharpen each other, so when Jesus comes and we are held accountable for our marriages. A man is responsible for preparing his spouse to be a �pure and spotless bride� for Christ. I�m counting on my husband having some flaws. That�s what makes him a son of Adam. Next, I�d like to point out that God said it was not good for man to be alone. This second man�needs a wife. We are our husband�s helper�s right? I�d be God's voice of reason, encouraging him with his flaws...and hopefully persuade him to use his money for God's glory. Women are great persuaders. Maybe I feel okay picking man number two because to me material things are laughable. God gives and he takes. I don�t find much security in wealth, but in quality time. Something I wouldn�t have with Husband #1. Our time would be going towards work�which is just another form of materialism. I know how God has made me, and I want to do what I value�children and family. In the first marriage, if I worked all the time, that would be sacrificing my desire to raise my own children. I don�t believe in daycare workers teaching my kids about Jesus! If we both worked all the time to make ends meet, honestly I wouldn�t be happy. Knowing my husband #2 is working hard to provide for me, and for our children would cause me to respect what he does everyday. I would have the energy to appreciate him, cook for him, and in turn it might soften his flaws. I think men like to come home knowing they are needed, knowing they are providing, knowing they are respected. I think Husband #1 would come home to an exhausted wife, kids who haven�t seen their parent�s all day and are learning that work is more important than family, and neither of them want to cook or clean!

The first option might work if the wife worked under the man`s authority rather than for another man as I have seen many farm couples do. The second marriage is a `traditional marriage` with less love but with the opportunity for the woman to take care of the wife and kids. Very good question. Post Reply

I personally wouldnt care if we had money or not. We are to leave it in Gods hand as he will provide for us. We are not to worry and give it to him. Post Reply
