Husband?

[OnThisRock]

Who in the world is free from sin as even a born again believer stumbles at times. God accepts us as who we are and if our hearts are willing will provide for the necessary refinements. This advice you have provided is naïve and if followed will result in a lifetime of waiting for Mr. Perfect or Miss Right. If you wait for all of the lights to turn to green and for all of the 'T's' and 'I's" to be crossed before proceeding forward in a relationship you are going to be waiting for a very long time.

Yes. And isn't there scripture about the partners santifying each other. Marriage is what helps in the sanctification process. But, I have to admit I have been sent some devils and counterfeits, and they were the answers to some parts of my prayer, but I do not believe that was God. Who knows....lol

A good thing to do at this time is to daily pray for your "husband to be".... not for him to show up soon (that's God's business), but for his life to be blessed. Pray for his health - that God will prepare him to be a husband and father. Pray for his work. Pray the he be strengthened spiritually. Just pray for this man (who someday you will meet).

To the op... when you can continually "deposit love" and not care about or even look at withdraws of love made to your account?... you will know youre ready to genuinely love..when you arrive to this place... you will be able to stop waiting.. and start choosing from an abundant sea of opportunity quickly..

When asking for a life time partner, you should make sure that you are clean from sin, because if you are semi dirty, God will give you an semi dirty man. God had Noah to put the animals on the ark with its own kind and God isn't going to put the clean animals with the dirty.

I don't want a 'life partner'. That term sounds so... vague and androgynous. Really, it doesn't even imply marriage. Sounds more like living together in a psude-marriage relationship.

Um, the title is "Husband?" I'd like to see more ladies link "husband" to "life partner". Many young women we've ministered to don't have that concept nailed down, just wanting a husband. That perspective, by itself, quite often result in marrying the first man that proposes.

Thank you! Glory be to God. And thanks for sharing.

Ask the Lord and wait upon Him. I didn't date all that much thru out my life, but I did ask God to bring me someone who believes; For I made a promise to God that I would not marry anyone who was not a believer. That was important to me because I knew how a marriage can be torn a part without a couple not having Christ at the center of their marriage.

God was good to me and He has brought a Christian woman half way around the world to me. She currently lives in Brazil, but we plan to marry sometime next year. But it is amazing, that if you let God be your "match maker" you will not be disappointed. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.

Well, you're going to have to trust me on this; I've seen relationships fall apart, and one or the other will put the blame on the other, but away over looking their own faults, it is because they doesn't see them as faults; but if someone from the outside that isn't familiar or accustom to these faults, can see the problem. I use to take a certain side, but until I started seeing that the one that the side I'm on has faults of their own. And now I doesn't side with no one, but just say, "That you both is at fault."

What about a help-meet?



help•mate (ˈhɛlpˌmeɪt)

n.1. a companion and helper.
2. a wife or husband.

I'll just stick with the term wife. Helpmate sounds weird as well. But i suppose people need to adopt these terms to give themselves the sense that they are unique. Just sounds worldly to me.

I agree to disagree with you sir....On this earth it would be a very rare human that you are going to ever find clean from sin. I would say that you could find a human that is relying on God to help them get clean from sin. But no one is ever going to find a clean sin free human for a mate. Because we are all sinners and this world is the current state of sinful humans.....So you might want to reconsider this post.... We can be forgiven sinners, but still sinners none the less.

Okay, let's put it this way; make sure the person that you marry has the same dirt that you have, because if they isn't familiar with the dirt you have, they will eventually walk away. Paul has warned those that marries, because he know that no one is perfect, that they will face many problems. But to get along with someone, is that they should have the same qualities as each other. Birds of the same feathers, flocks together.

You can use any term that feel fit for you; like soulmate, Ball and chain, and or Bed-warmer. But whatever what makes you feel comfortable. But I does know that it isn't good for man to be alone.

Glad to have your permission. But it will never be soulmate.

 

[Mem]

I call mine "the mister," is that too weird?

Will God send me a life partner and how will I know?

It is possible but you will have to play a major role in impressing God to deliver him to you.

If you are 'living in sin or fornicating)," it is just one of many sins that will keep God from answering your prayer. The link below is a guide to help you to achieve your goal.

Twin Flame? Fellow-Sanctifier? Serpent Stomper?

Will God send me a life partner and how will I know?

Matthew 6:31-34 (KJV) [SUP]31 [/SUP]Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? [SUP]32 [/SUP](For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) . for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. [SUP]33 [/SUP]But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [SUP]34 [/SUP]Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

The Book has the right answers.

Scripture says a man chooses his wife, and God unites them on the day of their wedding. My advice is that you pray for patience. Focus on your relationship with God and make it a priority to spend a lot of time in fellowship with your boyfriend. I believe any two people who love God can share a beautiful marriage.

Just remember that God never supports premarital sexual contact. The key is not the question "is he right?" But rather "are we living right?" If you live by God he will bless your union.
