wow, it suprises me how quickly everyones responding yes, i used to be the same way.. before i started my career, Im a fulltime hairstylist so Im not only working every day with non-Christians, also not being allowed to talk about Christ to clients cuz it starts contravercy, unfortunately Ive grown into the world to survive it, not wanting to scare off clients and all, but I can imagine if I heard God clearly - which I havent in a good while - I would have no choice but to obey. And God works in miraculous ways.. personally, Im sure that when that moment comes, it would be when Im ready, and only His timing is perfect.

I would definately marry him. The most important thing in the world is love. Even if you have all of the riches in the world, but not love, it would be a hard existance. So, in my opinion, even if you're going to have hardships, you'll still have each other to hold on to. It may not seem like to much at the time, but in the end, it is EVERYTHING. God bless.

I like what several of you have said.Material wealth isn't what we are here for.We are here to do the will of God.I don't want recognition for doing the Lords work.Our rewards will come when we leave here and go to heaven.Whatever God has for us here,He has what is best for us in mind as well as doing His work.

Ive lived on the missionfield. Material wealth is not sustaining. God blesses us to be a blessing to others. My lifes mission is to serve people showing them the Father heart of God. I would want to know for sure that God directs me, but I am willing to be his hands and feet in any situation. Afterall, you cant take it with you when u go...what matters in life are relationships....and us directing people to the ultimate relationship of all - one with Jesus Christ!
Umm, upon reflection of my last comment, I now wonder if I answered the question......lol......in short, if I knew for sure thats what God wanted -COOL! yeah...enuf said by me.......
P.S - Beyonce is now bouncing in MY head also.......................all u single ladies...........all u single ladies.............hahaha

I would be willing, but would proceed with caution. I believed several years ago that God actually was telling me something very similar to this, met a guy I thought God had been telling me about, and was very willing to marry him, but the situation turned out terribly. The man lied about many things regarding his lifestyle (he was an addict to just about everything you can think of but claimed he was "reformed"), past, and would con people (including myself) out of large amounts of money with his tales of vast hardships.
The greatest thing I learned was, listen to your pastors, spiritual elders, and family (church family if you're not close to your own family.) They told me from the start that this was not God, but I would not listen. I clung to the belief that God could change even the most hard-pressed life for the better, but what I did not realize was, underneath all the talk, this man was very unwilling to actually allow God to change him.
I was also unaware at the time that the Bible advises us to find safety in the counsel of others... I was too stubborn to listen then and hope I'll be a little wiser in the future.
So yes, I would consider it, but only with the approval/prayer/heavy consideration of those I am close to spiritually.

Very wise. See, I would be immeditly suspicious of a voice telling me I was to meet the man I was going to marry. I mean, I'm not saying that God never tells people they're about to find the right one, or that they have met the right one. I just believe that it's best when couples work to show God why they think they'd make a good married couple. I think that if a couple knew right off the bat that God wanted them to get married that they'd be tempted to rush into a serious relationship without doing the work of learning to communicate and problem solve and work as a team and whatnot. I used to believe that if God wanted a couple to get married that they'd be able to bypass a lot of the work that's involved in a relationship, but I strongly, STRONGLY don't believe that now. Although I do believe that if you get married to the person God doesn't want you to marry that would require more work than if you listened to God in the first place.

I forgot to say something. When I was in grade 5 my sunday school teacher announced that she was getting married. She'd only known the guy for a week when she agreed to marry him. She really felt like she was obeying God by accepting his proposal. Well, now I can't believe her foolishness. I mean, I'm sure there wasn't an audible voice right before telling her to marry him, but I have a hard time believing that all of her Christian friends and family was supportive of her decision. Needless to say things didn't turn out well. She married herself into a cult and lost touch with my church so I don't know what happened to her.

This is the way I see it, basically you're asking if we would agree to commit to a life that was godly, neglecting what was important in the eyes of the world. Well, yes, that's what it means to leave everything and follow a Jesus. However, something you got to remember is that so many Christian women have been praying that God would send them the right guy for such a long time that if God told us he was right around the corner we'd be thrilled regardless of the catch. Am I right, ladies?
