I don't believe I have to marry a man or woman. I can be happy and single, but that doesn't mean I have to shut myself off from the possibility of ever marrying. I told you I'm not going to go on a hunt for man and I won't do it for a woman either. Right now I have more important things in my life to focus on than worrying about being single. I'm just saying that when you're not looking is when you find someone. I'm not saying I will find someone, but if I do I don't think I could close myself off from having a relationship if I truly felt something for them. I'm not trying to be rude, but your focused way to much on how society affects me. Society has no power over me. I don't care what anyone thinks of me or what society says I am allowed to do and not do. I'm at the point in my life that the only opinions that matter to me are God's and my parents. They are the only ones I do not want to disappoint. Honestly, if society had a grip on me I wouldn't have thought about suicide. I would have realized that society says being gay is okay so I can be. The thing is it didn't happen that way. I was too worried how God feels about me and how my parents will feel if they ever find out.
I think you have a wonderful attitude. Many as young as you are still in the grip of social pressure. You are not being rude at all, you are being honest. If you thought about suicide, adn got through it, then God has taught you to make your own decisions. You are well on the way to spending a life as a man of the Lord. Decisions about marriage one way or the other will come in their time. It's great to know that your OP was mostly a theoretical question.
I am all for going deeper than outside appearances. The persons personality, their hobbies, their interests, and anything else about them they're willing to share. We can't fool ourselves though, appearance does matter, just as reproductive organs do too. If you don't mind me asking what made you love your wife? How did you know she was the one?
Well, the suspicion was because she was the only person I could talk to for more than 2 hours. You can read the whole story in my website if you like My name is Ken Behrens <click. Here's a quote:
"To me, Anna’s most attractive feature was not physical, or even her mental ability and tremendous writing and organizational gifts. Anna lived, by choice, to build the Kingdom of God on earth. The desire (or should I say “passion”?) was documented in her diary before I met her, and it was how she lived her life. Her most attractive feature is how she would take any risk to follow where Jesus was leading her. "
I believe there are options for everything too, but the right choice isn't as clear to me as it is to you.
It takes time to learn to follow God. Even more time to know you are doing it right.
What is my current interpretation? To be perfectly honest with you I don't even know what I believe about this. I may present my case as if I'm set in my views and opinions, but that is not it. I am merely trying to come at it from a different angle. I am trying to better understand so the answer I need can become clearer.
Like I say, that's a great attitude.
