Y'know we're probably still confusing the crap out of SonsofCaleb...

Maybe for the time being we should put (Replying to X) tags at the bottom of posts when we quote people in his threads.

You find them in the church and I have met a few. Ask them if there is sex in heaven and they'll tell you sex is mainly for having children. No sex in heaven.
Actually - I don't believe there's sex in heaven, anyone who thinks there is has a very carnal and unbiblical view of heaven - especially when Jesus said there's no marriage in heaven:

"At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven." Matthew 22:30

No sex.

On earth there is sex. It's for having children as well as a pleasure and means of bonding. Keeps the heart tender even when things are difficult.

But I wouldn't demand a spouse have unbiblical belief sets that have more in common with Islam than with Christians. That might not go well if you're looking for a Christian to marry.

Yes we have mentioned to SonsofCaleb many times that perhaps he should look into certain middle eastern religions for what he seeks. o_O:LOL:

I like the smart girls....always have.
Smart is the new sexy. Mine could have gotten her doctorate (PHD) but didn't. It's really expensive. "Water finds its own level " is an expression I've heard about....and it's true I guess....dunno.


But she has so many high end skills, certifications, and knowledge that it's fairly insane.

She works in cancer research currently...as part of quality control. Hippa compliance, security, government regulatory compliance, and parameters set by the research grant all inside of her admin for implementation of enterprise software systems.
She makes the rules the others have to follow. She also is a professional writer and editor. So she writes teaching materials...often. she teaches the trainers how to train.

Because I have an extremely diverse set of skills and experience and knowledge bases....I wanted an equal. Someone I wouldn't run over nor would she try to run over me.

She can't cook like I do...she isn't at home in the kitchen. (She can cook though) But she can and has designed the packaging and logos for our home baked goodies we give out every year.

She is my ministry partner...and part of the reason I have traveled around this globe.

We do everything together and have a blast doing it. It doesn't matter what we want to do... we give it a try together. She is the reason I say "I am we and she is me"

Even though she can't cook....she wants involved with the bakery somehow. She'll find a spot eventually. We have a lot of brainpower already working....just a matter of her watching and waiting for her to see something.

Reading your post blessed me! Praise the Lord for the relationship you and your wife have!

Oof. "Who hurt you?"

Just kidding. Why don't you want to marry?

Can you compare the pros and cons of marriage? Let me know which side wins. Serious. lol

Here is a friendly reminder on what could happen, if you get married.

I like Mr. Smooth with the guitar.

If I was being honest, I'd tell men to sleep around and never marry, and I'd tell women to never sleep around but to find a trustworthy man and marry him. That causes a stalemate that might force both sides to realize that there's really only one way romantic relationships can really work.

This is for the boys.

What kind of wife do you want and why?

What are her character traits and her other traits?

Are you praying for her, and has God given you any insight about her or who she is?
haha what about yourself

also, shouldnt this be in the teens forum. If its for boys.
I dont think its a question many people ask boys, When I asked my boys at school what they wish for, most just say a PS5

A Christian woman who believes in following the Bible and wants to have kids, but is not in a rush to have kids immediately either. Also, while being Christian and having the desire to have a God-focused family, accepts that one should enjoy life within reason.

The guys at work talk about big butt vs big boobs, but personally I would fall head over heals for a girl who could sing

So, all of my recent involvement on these "singles" threads got me thinking...

During an average week, between the time I spend at work (and I basically work in solitary confinement), the time I spend with my children, the time I spend running errands, the time I spend on this website, etc., etc., I'm really not giving myself any good opportunities to actually meet a woman.

With such in mind, I took the plunge.

Yep.

In the last couple of days, I put up my profile on two different dating websites.

Although I never had success with dating websites in the past (mostly due to so many "catfish" accounts), I'm feeling pretty confident this time around.

Here's how I foresee it:

I meet a nice young woman...

There's a mutual attraction between us...

We go out together on a bunch of dates...

We really hit it off together...

She invites me home to meet her family...

I ask her father for her hand in marriage...

I mean, it sounds kind of foolproof to me.

Seriously, what could possibly go wrong?

The early part of my post was true.

I did set up profiles on two different dating websites in the last couple of days...with ChristianMingle being one of them.

I'm truly not a fan of dating websites or of trying to meet or even communicate with anybody online.

Personally, I'm much more comfortable meeting and conversing with someone in person, but it is what it is at the moment.

We'll see what happens with that.

The rest of my post was a set up for my gif.

Sorry, but every village needs an idiot...
