This thread reminded me of something that happened to me about a year ago. I thought I would share it here.
I met a woman and we had a mutual interest in one another.
I really liked her and thought we were off to a great start. We were reading the bible together on a regular basis and things seemed to be going well.
As time passed, she began to tell me about all of the material things that she wanted and how she believed that it was the duty of the man to give his wife all of these things. She listed off a lot of things from a $10k bed to a $1k motorcycle outfit. She kept asking, "Would you be willing to get me these things?" I was unsure as to how to respond because the list was getting larger and larger and became a bit overwhelming. I told her, "I would be willing." Then I asked her, "What if I was unable to get you any of these things?" She again assured me that it was the man's duty and that he should do everything necessary to make it happen. I was perplexed but continued to work through this with her.
Later she came to me and said she was visited by a man. She said that this man had come to warn her. Her claim was that the man did not know me personally and had told her that I had money problems. I was perplexed. I assured her that I would pray about this.
After a few days, I came back and told her that I agreed that I had money problems but that it was not specifically with money, but with the love of money.
Within a couple of weeks she decided that things were not going to work out between us. I was left hurt and confused.
Just wanted to share.
