Admin	Why can't the young and the old find the right person for Marriage? Posted : 11 Mar, 2011 11:33 AM I look back when I met my ex-wife 35 years ago. We bumped into each other in a parking lot. We smile at each other, and then we talked to each other. Then I called her for a date and we both knew soon after, we were in love. We were not equally yoked, but the pastor from my church didn't put emphasis on the matter, after 27 years of marriage, came our divorce. I have a son 30 and a daughter 24 and neither are in a relationship. I see more young people on here than the older ones. I believe people are not the same as they were 40 years ago. People today would rather surf the web for a date than look for a date. People in general don�t smile to strangers, let alone speak to strangers. If they do, they would rather text on the phone or email than call them again. The core to the problem, people are interested in their gadgets and their busy lives more than the fellowship in talking with them in person. We need to get back to the Golden Rule that we have lost over the years. We should be kind and love everyone is what the Bible tells us too. Would love to hear what others think about this issue.

Posted : 11 Mar, 2011 11:54 AM Kinda reminds me of the tower of Babble, we all speaking the same language, digital. Kinda fell like a hypocrite saying such a statement on a digital format. But them again it could be compared with fighting fire with Fire. Post Reply

Posted : 11 Mar, 2011 12:48 PM In my last few years on the internet I have some encounters that do not bear even mentioning, but the biggest problem I see is selfisness, being self centered, not having any idea of God's purpose and involvement in marriage. Most women will say something like I don't know what God's will for me is about remarrying, but if it's his will i will, Hello You can not receive anything from God where there is any doubt involved.

I think the reasn why the young and the old can;t find the right person for marriage, becasue many times the young and the old ARE NOT the right persons for marriage themselves. I mean, why would God put together again two broken plates, been divorced for years, and still haven't chnaged, just chnaged the way you do stuff, but basically the smae crazy stuf, forever learnign but never coming to and understanding. C'mon, warmed over soup after 30 of marriage doing the same darn things, nothign new and exciting, divorced for 30 and still haven't chnaged, not even combing the hair what's left of it any differnetly, even the toupaee and wig looks like the old hair style when you(generic) did have hair...:ROFL: Also, I feel that many are looking for the worng things in all the wrong places. When I got divorced I ask God what I was doign wrong that I could not find a man in my life who was not looking for a tcket to ride... I was lookign for the worng things in a mate, until God showed me, to start looking for a man who had the same qualities as I for a mate. He also led me to the story about Isaac how he went about seeking his mate and the qualities he desired in her. And one of the qualities he and his father and servant asked for was that she be a giver Isaac was a GIVER. So maybe if we start looking for those qualities we possess based on who we are, and ask God to find us that mate, He will do so, and stop settling for LESS THAN who we are, and what God desires for us. Myabe the young and the old will soon be married and out of God way, so He can make room for the next generation.:buddies::dancingp::ROFL::yay: Post Reply
