I began FM in 2006 as a single man with no kids believing that God had shown me a better method to travel down the road to marriage. In faith, I began living what He had be sharing with me. Now I…
Anonymous asked: Do you believe there is a catch 22 with the friendship? Some people can't see themselves with someone they have become really good friends with but I believe friendship is a really good start to a solid foundation.
for those people who can see themselves with a good friend… then yes.
for those of us that reply on a better method to choosing a spouse… then I say no, there is no catch 22.
The path down the road to marriage is simple…. be friends, date briefly, get married.
We complicate things so much.
single women::: there are two kinds of interest from a man.
#1 simple interest - calling, texting, spending time, talking, dating, etc.
#2 special interest - may look just like simple interest in…
Anonymous asked: Ive been dating a guy for 12 years. We have of course talked marriage many times. Throughout those years and talks his reasons have been not enough money to support me and mine have been that I don't think he has personal relationship with Jesus. I guess my question is when you are a 32 year old women and all your friends are married with children how do still know that God has someone for you and not think maybe he HAD someone and maybe I should just stick with what I got?
God does not do soulmates…. pause… that is a good place to give God some praise right there! Cause if He did, you may well have missed him waiting around for 12 plus years waiting on a man.
God loves us so much that He has created many men that can be a suitable husband for you, and not just one.
That said, should you stay? I would not advise it. I may not know women, but men, I know… men do not need 12 years or even 12 months to know if you are the one or not. We know early. We stick around for the comfort of sex, food preparation, and quiet and easy peace. With these needs met, we are really not going anywhere, especially not towards marriage. I dated a woman for 8 years, got engaged, and gave her every excuse in the book. We never married. :-( a fact that I am ashamed of now.
At 32, it’s your season to marry have kids, and have a life long joy - filled marriage. You don’t want to be 45, 47 before you begin your life together and desire to have kids.
Sticking with what you got is your call. Is it the will of God? I know you may be thinking that I am not perfect either, and Ive done some things so maybe I deserve what I got. STOP right there. Let’s settle this thought right now, once and for all.
Pray this with me out loud…
(no really)
ready…
Lord please forgive me of my sins…
those that I know, and those that I don’t…
Lord I repent, and pray for a new mind to do things your way…
Thank you for being a good God in whom I can completely trust…
I receive your forgiveness right now in Jesus name… Amen!
!!!! Yes !!!! It’s done. No more settling for what you have. See when God forgives, it’s forever. He throws your sin into the lake for forgetfulness. Not only are you forgiven, He no longer remembers your sin as if it never happened. Praise God!
Please, get into a church where they open the bible every time you go, and they teach from it every time. Please consider separating from this man until you can get to a place of peace. It’s from this place that you can clearly hear from God…. about what you should do next.
