View Profile History	Mariage Posted : 28 Apr, 2013 04:24 AM Our condition prior to Chris is dead in our trespasses and sin and alive in Christ. The question is what are your expectations in marriage? What is your understanding of Grace? What are you willing to die to self in? What are you willing to love and respect another with? How do you really see your own righteousness? Are you willing to give up your independence? Are you willing to love unconditionallly? This is can you accept an individuall without the need to change him? or her? Post Reply
View Profile History	Mariage Posted : 28 Apr, 2013 06:43 AM as best as i have gathered trouble in relationships is 90% lack of the respect of the law of gravity,9% communication breakdown,and 1%unrealistic expectation it seems peoples get into relationships thinking i will pick them up in that area,when in reality they get brought down and their failed expectation brings more strife into the relationship... so if You aint willing to get down?dont step up? hahahaa Post Reply
View Profile History	Mariage Posted : 30 Apr, 2013 08:15 PM Those are good questions letthis...I would also ask, are you willing to make some sacrifices for your potential. Would you give up some of your dreams just to be with that someone for the rest of your life. Think about it. Post Reply
Lara52 View Profile History	Mariage Posted : 11 May, 2013 09:11 AM well,,I was married for almost 37 yrs. til my sweetie passed on. but, the key to any marriage is communication! I can not, can not, stress that enough...couples stop talking to each other cause they are to busy getting ready for this & that. Too many seperate meetings and bible studies can be a strain on a marriage too. God should be first in your marriage, but also make your mate a part of that, and learn to say no to many people.

View Profile History	Mariage Posted : 12 May, 2013 04:52 AM Cyber, I am a simple man with simple needs and desires. Truly my main goal in life is to have a woman who can accept my love. Yes, I have had to surrender that for my relationship with God. The lie from the beginniing when satin said to eve you can be like god( self determined) knowing good from evil ( determining what is good and evil) This is a selfish destructive attitude. But their is another goal I have, That is to have the mind of God. Not in all His powerful attribute but in His humility. In His love, in expressing forgiveness through grace. etc... etc Is this anything for me to boast over? No it is not because the desires are given to me by God. Because God has revealed Himself to me many times. As christians our focus should be that we are followers of Christ and express the mind of God as we develop a more intimate relationship with the mighty God of creation. Anyother endeavor is really vanity in comparison. Post Reply
mithridates View Profile History	Mariage Posted : 14 Jun, 2013 11:44 PM I'd probably say it often does, but at the same time there are millions of married atheists and nonbelievers around the world who have strong marriages. It's not like you have to be a Christian to have a relatively strong marriage. Divorce rates among Christians are really no better than among non Christians in america. Post Reply
Lara52 View Profile History	Mariage Posted : 26 Jun, 2013 04:20 PM sooo true no one is perfect except Christ...and if you both don't share some sort of Christian, or spiritual beliefs, I don't think your marriage can survive...don't think those atheist have strong marriages, because one, they are lying to their partners or theirselves OR don't believe in a monogomouse relationship...I think that will undermine any marriage...I don't think you have to be in church and pray on your knees to be christian, you can be on your knees in a flower garden, enjoying God's creations. Or in a delivery room delivering a baby, In prison believing in him,in a commune singing. But if you have a pure love for one and he for you...something is at work to glue you to one another.

kindswtguy View Profile History	Mariage Posted : 11 Jul, 2013 08:01 PM The problem with many marriages is not the lack of communication, each party knows the others likes and dislikes, its the lack of respect, caring and single mindedness, many people beleave that the purpose of marriage is to gain wealth, status or power, or that they should be taken care of but the purpose of being married is simply for companionship, having that special someone to talk to, touch, trust, having safety with whom you really are. If you are not a giving, humble, respectful, thoughtful, selfless type of person, then expect to have problems in marriage. One thought about atheist being married, if we beleave in the one true God then there is no such thing as an atheist marriage, man and woman are married by God not by man, so without God there is no true marriage.

View Profile History	Mariage Posted : 15 Jul, 2013 05:32 AM I am in peoples houses for 5 weeks at a time. I get to know different couples and many of them are not christian. I have seen the communication and love they extend toward oneanother. Christians are not the ones on the corner to love in fact what I see from christians most often is the opposite of love. I think like my self I grew up in a home devoid of love and learned how to be more selfish than sacrificial. When we come to christ we are called to love but really many of us are ill equipped to do so. The last family I remodled their kitchen for was a very good strong family. Not christians. The principles of Gods word and how we are to communicate and respond to oneanother in a practicle way are for all people to know and enjoy. Everyone can learn them and express them it is only the issue of salvation they then lack. Being christian doesnt automatically make us know how to respond and live our lives. It takes example for us to modle to us that we might follow their example. This is what it means to follow Christ. We are called to follow His example that He modles for us. Post Reply
