Yeah, its good to keep in mind that we are not a good and perfect people, and that were all gonna mess up and do wrong at some point : p I think a bit part of being ready for marriage is accepting both that you are not gonna find a perfect partner, as well as accepting that you yourself are not perfect either : p

Marriage is a ministry.. The husband is supposed to "groom" her for himself just like Christ does the church..
I love myself more bc of the man God put in my life.
Being fully "adequate" is a lie and an unrealistic expectation that keeps women that are broken from feeling worthy..

They'll probably react the same way they react to seeing an Asian with an American first name and a Dutch last name, Mel. :p
I grew up with a Polish last name, I'm half Asian and half Hispanic......it was a great ice breaker. :p


I would take his last name...:rolleyes:

Is there anything in the bible about a woman taking a mans last name? I would not be bothered if a woman didnt take my last name : p Unless it actually were in the bible.

And for the submitting part, I used to be all against having to be the leader in my old life before Him, and tbh I still feel weird about it : p Im totally willing to obey Him and try now, but having a wife who is totally willing to console me in that position would be a huge plus : p
Read Genesis 5:2 about the wife taking the husband's name

I'm ready but is he ready, that's the question.

I'm so happy with my new pen pal who doesn't mind if I stalk him. I warned him I was clingy and stalkerish. It doesn't matter to him. Maybe because he safely lives an ocean away and I can't ever really bother him anyway LOL.

I think you ladies need to completely lose your own identity and take on the entire name of your spouse.

If I were to come into this thread without reading it, my first response would be, "No; I'm still working on the fake ID picture..."
