Hi All, I'm 31, and I have my first boyfriend. We've been dating for over a year with the purpose of finding a marriage partner. He's been what I've been hoping for in the godly department. He loves God, and he's very respectful. He was even the one to set the boundary of no kissing. But recently, I've been feeling down. He's a very private person, so he doesn't like to go out. He doesn't like to hang out with friends, and he doesn't like large groups of people. So date night is hanging at my house with a movie. Am I completely off my rocker for wanting more? I've recently decided to just try to get my little adventures (movie nights, concerts, new restaurants) with my girlfriends, but I really want him to be part of my life. Reply »

Im 20 and have only had 1 semi-serios relationship and thats it. . . I'm in college getting my education, heavely involved in my church, and and all that good stuff but i want more. I want to get married, not like right now, but in the near future soon after i graduate. But its like i might as well be invisible with the amount of attention i get from men my age. Im a nice person, I dress nice, I tend to be happy most of the time, im helpful, and i think pretty enough and yet the only men who give me the time of day are creepers!!!!! Which does not help at all. . . Im a chunky girl and i know that part of the problem but that cant be the while reason im invisible. right? Most of my girlfiends are beautiful, thin, and wonderful women that i feel so plain and dowdy next too. . . I love them but i feel inadequte next to them, and they get much more male attention than i ever get. . . So basically getting married seems like a hopeless goal to right now even though i know theres time still. . . Anyone else feling this way? Anyone know what can help? any tips? Reply »

There is a man my family has recommended to me. He is originally from my area (his dad and my dad went to HS together), but moved to WY 7 years ago. He is 7 years older than me (I'm 25). My father and two of my older cousins have suggested a match between us. This man (I'll call him Tom) brushed off the suggestion with "That would be like dating my sister!" I don't know what that means. . . but, anyway, we've never spoken (I probably haven't even seen him since I was in 4th grade!) about this. I am very interested in a relationship with him. I know a lot about him, and he is everything I'm looking for in a husband! He is a dedicated Christian, adventurous, fun, tall (I'm 6'2"), and wants to have a family someday. So, here's my question: Should I, in any way, initiate conversation through either Facebook or MySpace? He's not my friend on Facebook, but I've seen some great photos of him :) through one of my cousin's pages. He has a MySpace account as well. I want him to know that I'm interested (in the hopes that that might encourage him to pursue a relationship, but is it too forward of me (being the girl and the younger one!) to intitiate anything?

Hi there, I recently became a new member in this group. I do not know if ths subject has been discussed. But I was wondering is there a list we as women should submit to God in asking for a future spouse? Is it ok to have a spiritual list---listing spiritual traits as contained the bible that a husband should have as well as a physical list where we list our heart's desires for a husband? If anyone has any kind of information on this, it will be greatly appreciated. --DeeGee Reply »

I am asking you all to pray with me for faith in the face of such uncertainty. It is hard to keep this up. Believing almost feels like physical exercise. I am so tired. I have started as an intercessor (now I need some intercessors!) in a healing program for relational brokenness. It is the best thing I've ever done. I have never felt so clear in my purpose in God than right now. And my dating life hasn't been so great. The last man I started talking to, got back together with his ex. He and I stayed "friends" for a few months. It was horrible, painful, brutal. So, I recently ended that relationship/friendship. I never want to do that again. While I was training to be on the team in this healing ministry, I got to know another man who I knew but never much liked, but I got to know him on the training, and admire him so much! And my feelings began to change. He blew me away with his commitment to helping others heal where he's been delivered. I really started to like him. Now we see each other weekly in the program. He invited me to the movies. We went last night, only to find out he has a girlfriend. Wow. I felt like I got punched in the stomach. So many guys still think "friendship" that looks like dating is okay, even when they have a girlfriend. I am really sad. I told him one-on-one hanging out doesn't work for me, and it should be reserved for the woman he's courting, and the man I hope will someday court me. He thanked me and said he never thought of it that way. So, I made a difference for him and his girlfriend, as I did with the guy before. What about me? I am disappointed again. And I really like this guy for who he is, not how he looks or how he makes me feel (which is so new for me). I thought this could be the One. I'm still numb. I am shocked this keeps happening to me. What am I missing? I am 35, and I believe God meant it when He said, "It is not good for (wo)man to be alone." I am tired and sad and tired of crying, and working on... Reply »
