How do we bring balance on both our physical and spiritual beings? (by physical i'm not referring to sexual activities) On our previous chat Hidden, initiated by Mabel I mentioned that I'm being warned often by elderly ladies in my church, warned not to consider marrying a fellow in Christ. The ladies warnings are based on a number of reasons that I won't break down and mention one by one, I'll stick to one particular warning that made me compose this post from the first place, inspired by your comments and River on the opening paragraphs I quoted from other conversations not relevant to this one. Poverty/Being irresponsible/not being ambitious is the main issue I seek to find balance in when searching for a life time partner and doing all it takes to keep this experience spiritually and holly. The intention is not to OFFEND or INSULT brothers here but rather seeking advice in how to go about doing this in a Godly manner. The elders concerns are unfortunately true! Most (not all) guys haven't been responsible as husbands and fathers especially in the very house of worship. Posters' wives bear with so much since the brother is more on spiritual matters and neglecting his physical responsibilities. I'm one of the poster's children who doesn't have a good feedback inasmuch as my father keeps getting great complements of how deep and rooted is he in God and spiritual matters. In short there's such disappointment once the lady has joined lives with the brother as husband and wife. Now my question to you sis and River is: How do we keep balance on our spiritual and physical needs and concerns while focusing on investing more on our spiritual beings? These elderly ladies were surely well led through spiritual matters. Isn't this what we need most after all as top of our requirements? Fortunately guys muster this department pretty well though they not as responsible when coming to mustering their physical roles as husbands and fathers, reason being that, "They not of the world. They not seeking after worldly things" Where do we draw the line from a person hidding behind God's word so he doesn't have to achieve and it comes across as being spiritual, and a person whose sincerely seeking after God but doesn't have enough to share with his chosen wife (poverty) and therefore it must be understood that his investing in spirit? Bottom line is there's such lack in the body of Christ and ladies don't really know how to investigate some of these things before committing, especially since there's more emphasy on spiritual matters. How do I make sure that I don't raise my kids in poverty hidden in spiritual matters? Post Reply

Was only highlighted of them and yes I believe in them. You've just gaven me an assignment for another day though since I'm currently committed in other bible lessens. I personally fellowship at Hope Restoration Ministries. My father's church is Christ Ambassadors. It has been hard finding a spiritual home after moving out and relocating far from home. Suppose I'll have to make other means of learning about spiritual gifts. Thank you for asking and caring about my spiritual growth. You've been very pleasant to interact with, keep on being kind its much appreciated! :rocknroll: Post Reply
