That is so true. People dont usually say to someone "that comment that you made hurt my feelings" or whatever, so sometimes you dont know that you may have hurt someone. And i think the general sentiment is that, oh we are all here to give our opinions, you dont like it, thats your business haha.

But if you think about it really, there are just somethings that we wouldnt say in person and so we do need to try not to say it on the internet cause we never know what the other person is going through.

I think perhaps we need to contact eachother by PM and say lets talk about it over here cause things are getting too heated in the thread. Or maybe we can say, dear sister or brother you dont seem like your usual self to day, your comment was really rude, are you OK? Yah you never know🤷🏽‍♀️
That is so true. Especially when one may feel they must defend their doctrine at all cost no matter how many bodies they must step over.

It is a fine line to know where to stand and where we can agree to disagree but still hold the line together.

I know over the time I been here, people have reached out through private message to understand my situation more. It was always helpful. But only old members and paid members can private message.

It is nice to know people care enough to reach out.

Don't laugh at me, I'm a little self conscious about my appearance.

Well, me being 40 years old, it always makes me feel significantly better to be significantly younger than someone else. At this significantly weird time of my life when it seems that most people I encounter are in their early 20s. Ah yes indeed such a significantly wonderful thing to encounter someone significantly older.

I wonder if the 20 somethings I always encounter think me being significantly older than them is something quite significantly good? I dont know.

On the matter you mentioned, if such is the case with men, then they will never be content. Best us women avoid marriage.
Haha . . . I appreciate your appreciation. As for your question if you think that it is good to find an "older" woman . . . why, yes! In my estimation, they view the "older" woman as "experienced" in that "certain realm," if you know what I mean. What the younger man doesn't realize is that while he's still raging at 40, his 60-year-old wife may not be, and he might not be attracted to 60-year-old women at age 40. So, I've thought it to be wise that folks try to stick within their own range of age. Doing so will lessen the potential stresses and strains that already come with a relationship. But, we're all different.

I think that it is best that everyone remain single, for, if we did, we would literally invite Christ to make His second appearance. Imagine that, that if the world just stopped pro-creating . . . Jesus would HAVE TO come to save His Holy Elect. :D

Men "can be" content with their wives as they grow older. I think that it comes down to this: Be wildly attracted to your soon-to-be wife! And women, be wildly attracted to your soon-to-be husband! If you're in the same range of age, and if you're both wildly attracted, you will grow old in a similar fashion. We just need to be smart in this specific area . . . and it is a seriously SIGNIFICANT area. :D

Some interesting thoughts here. I actually think - due to poison in the food, pollution, vaccines, etc. - that at some point in the future there may not BE children any longer. Old people may die sooner as well. These things could well be mercies of God as history draws to a close and becomes more and more like hell on Earth.

I agree 100% that it's important to find your significant other attractive. To a great degree, love grows with time spent together with someone you care about, but some initial physical attraction is needed. Regular sex is (biblically) a part of marriage. Hard to do that if you find your significant other to be REPELLENT!

You pointed out some good stuff about male viabilitiy, too, David. For better or for worse, we men remain sexually viable into our 70's. As such, I've considered dating someone a good bit younger than me. I'm 34 and would consider dating someone even in her early 20's if she is a mature believer. Long term, this would facilitate things... since I know I have strong... proclivities... lol. Sounds like you do too. ;) Hey, best to understand yourself and plan accordingly.

Well, I would plan your marriage not around age and by the level of desire that you currently possess. You never know what might happen to you in your future life. You may incur prostate cancer that could leave you semi-impotent. What then? Now you’ve got a much younger wife that is viewing her “elder” husband as “less-than-capable” and sir . . . that is opening the door for problems. And while I realize that you state that you’d want a mature believer as your wife, king David was certainly mature, yet he found himself not only committing adultery but creating a scenario where Urijah the Hittite was killed (so that he, David, could possess Bathsheba). Further still, we’re all different. And you never know, your wife may find the intimate experience to be well worth her while even into her seventies.

Another tip for you. If you’re 60 years old and your wife is still a raging and beautiful 45 years old, how are you going to feel as you compare yourself to her? Will you have all of your teeth? Will you be wrinkly beyond belief? Will you feel worthy of a gorgeous wife while you are . . . well, not so handsome? Will these ideas cloud your mind as you [try] to fulfill your conjugal duties? How will you perform if you come to find out that your young wife is not really attracted to you as she once was? The larger the gap in age, the most apparent it will become as the elder seriously moves into being a Senior Citizen.

If I were you, try to stick within five years of your future spouse.

As for me . . . no. I don’t think or even “function” as I did prior to my genuine Roman’s 12:2 Transformation. Truly, I have been purchased by Christ and He has slowly changed not only the way I view the functions of this physical world, but He has changed the function of my body. I’m not trying to brag, here, but I was a gifted lover. Because of that, I was absolutely addicted to pleasing my partner, for by generating such satisfaction in my partner, I too was incredibly satisfied. When the Lord took ownership of my life, He not only caused me to seek to please Him by remaining single, but He caused me to view the sexual experience as something . . . well, silly. I can’t help it. This is a Work of the Spirit. To me, intimacy has become something that seems like a waste of time when compared to the fact that others are starving. Right now, a little boy is being raped. Right now, a little girl is being punched in the face, and these are areas that interest me far more than seeking pleasure. I don’t mean to be a “downer,” here, but am just conveying the Truth about your question and my answer.

A Roman’s 12:2 Transformation causes us to no longer seek ourselves, but it generates remarkable empathy to the degree that we feel what others feel beyond standard comprehension. Therefore, True Children of the Lord will seek the welfare of others before him or herself. We cannot help it. In fact, we might even be sad that our intimate side has become diminished. Yet, we cannot avoid the Work of the Spirit and are thus thankful!

I could write a book, and for the sake of sheer boredom, I’ll stop here. haha

you guys are making me lol :LOL: :sneaky: :p

Just remember, one of the most important aspects of true beauty is told to us in
Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.


Just remember that young cutie/hottie/hunk etc will go through changes in life that will eventually affect their physical appearances.
