Has visiting the singles forum been helpful to you? If so, how so?

What have you learned most about relationships from reading these threads?

What have you learned about the opposite gender from reading these threads?

Have you learned anything about yourself by coming here?

Hi

2Co 10:4 The weapons we use in our fight are not made by humans. Rather, they are powerful weapons from God. With them we destroy people's defenses, that is, their arguments
2Co 10:5 and all their intellectual arrogance that oppose the knowledge of God. We take every thought captive so that it is obedient to Christ.

You are looking only on the surface of things. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as he.
(2 Corinthians 10:7 NIV)

I have learned that there are a lot of ppl in the world that is single like me and that have felt all what i feel as single, that they fight with many problems i fight too, that many feel alone like i have felt many times and that many enjoy to be single too like i do many times too,
I have learned that men deal with some problems dating like we as women do too but that we both want to be loved, cared, understood as human beings

I have learned the more I learn, the less I understand.

I have learned people in the Christian crowd really aren't that different from the non Christian crowd.

I've realized I have more of a sweet tooth than I once thought.

From observing everybody, I have learned that EVERYBODY needs God. And every issue a human has, the answer is God. And that I ,myself,need Him.
Jesus is the answer to everything. Relationships, family,friends,etc. Life.

From the opposite gender I learned that they are as vulnerable as us, they just express it in a different way.
Women want to feel loved, protected, respected and admired, as well as Men.

I also learned that we all have flaws, because we are all humans; when we put humanity in a higuer stage, we will be dissapointed; and when we put humanity in a lower stage, we will always be cautious and insecure. We need to put humans in the proper stage : humanity. We will make mistakes and get hurt, and make mistakes and hurt somebody, that's why we need to seek Jesus and love each other like He did with us being faulty as we are, and recognize we all need Him.

That doesn't mean you can't have friends or relationships , but to recognize your loved ones as humans, and that someday maybe they will hurt you, or maybe they won't have the answers you need. It's normal, because we can't provide all the answers to anybody either , not even to ourselves. Just God through Jesus . That's why I also realized that having a relationship or friendship with a godly person is such a blessing! They know they can't rely on themselves, just in Him ;)

The Negatives

I feel like there is a lot of bitterness in the Christian Community that I was not aware of before.

I've learned that people have so many hurts and patterns that sabotage themselves into cycles of despair. Its sometimes in the subtle ways that people phrase the simplest things, that I don't hear so much the witty sarcasm as much as I hear the smallest whimpers of "help."

So many people have run aground on the shore in the sea of what they could be. I feel like emotionally its equivalent of watching someone step on a landmine and have to live out the rest of their lives with the consequences.

Things digress quickly with people. The good part of a thread is generally the beginning and the rest is either bitter attack mode or silly-acres.

The Positives

We've all been through so much that its hard to fathom a concept we could not pour ourselves into. I've learned to trust in strangers I've never met with secrets I never knew I would share.

I've learned that a relationship has more to do with the effort of the parties involved in making it work than the compatibility of the people in the relationship.

I've learned a lot of misc physiological and Psychological things too.

Bringing a good foundation to a relationship is better than just showing up with a lot of passion.

I didn't know either, but I figured I was being lectured for something and tried to pay attention. Honestly I did.

I was trying NOT to pay attention :D


People have so over used scripture in here, it's so easy for me to just ignore it now.

Thread sufficiently derailed after liam, with nonsense.

Sooooooo back on track

I would totally agree with liams post, there's alot of hurt people because they seem to be expecting flawless people in relationships.

And also as my momma always told me relationships work both ways. I've been in to many where I did all the work.
