Admin	Long Distant Connection? Posted : 11 Jul, 2010 05:01 PM My questions Brothers are as follows 1.There are probably profiles of women in or near your area, but how open are you to the possibility of pursuing a long distance relation? 2.Sadly enough, as Christians, the church is divided, where on your list of requirements does your prospective wife�s denominational affiliation fall? 3.Would you be willing to join your wife�s church or even a different one, even of the same denomination? -or- would you insist that she member with yours? Thanks for taking the time, Charrise Post Reply

I'll admit I'd like to see the person-literally, but it's not really that important. 2. denominational affiliation is not really that important, as long as the "core" beliefs line up. 3. I'd be willing to join a different church Post Reply

Anything farther that 6 hours and money would start to become an issue along side of distance. Ain't rich. 2. Wouldn't matter about the denominations as long as the major beliefs were similar. 3.I wouldn't mind going to another church, but I wouldn't change membership, and I wouldn't make her change membership. :peace::peace: Post Reply

Posted : 12 Jul, 2010 09:43 AM Distance is a problem for me because the relationship never seems to last...as for the denominations I agree...as long as the core beliefs are the same, I would be willing to move churches for the sake of our relationship.

volosong View Profile History	Long Distant Connection? Posted : 20 Jul, 2010 07:51 PM Have only had one long-distance relationship. She lived half way across the country and we felt comfortable enough to meet. Flew out to see her, and obviously, the relationship didn't last. One of my dear friends who I did things with often, (not a romantic relationship, but a great friendship), moved to the south, 2/3 way across the country due to financial reasons. We've found it difficult to feed the friendship and haven't seen each other for several years. It's expensive to fly. In my opinion, long-distance relationships are very difficult to nurture and the distance is not conducive to growth of the relationship, (more than a casual acquaintanceship, or e-mail/telephone buddies). I've found the face-to-face interaction important. If I care about someone, I want to do things with them. Be it running errands, going to a play, riding bikes, whatever. It's difficult to pop a screen door back on its tracks when I just can't hop over there. On religion, as others have said, it wouldn't be an issue if the core beliefs were the same. In my opinion, it is very important to worship together and I would hope we could find a church where both of us could serve together. Post Reply

View Profile History	Long Distant Connection? Posted : 3 Aug, 2010 10:45 AM Distance, like finances, are always a consideration but never the deciding factor for me. "...prospective wife�s denominational affiliation fall?" - Does she a faith in Christ that is alive and active. Is it about relationship or religion? Is is about head or heart knowledge? Bottom line, Christ-centered takes precedence over denomination in my book. 3. For me personally, the "joining" of church has always seemed odd to me. Not knocking denominations or religion, but when I got baptized and accepted Christ, seems to me I joined the church. Post Reply
