    What Happens When That Attractive Person You Marry... Loses Their Attractiveness?

    I actually JUST remembered something that gives a good example of this type of thing. My brother and sister in law were very thin when they both met and there was a time when both of them...well, added a significant amount of weight to their frames. This was going on for a year or so before my...

    What Happens When That Attractive Person You Marry... Loses Their Attractiveness?

    Attraction is definitely NOT just looks! I might find someone who is known for his looks and find him attractive but if there are no traits that I feel drawn to personality wise, then its not going to happen! And there have been guys that I have been attracted to, both physically and emotionally...

    Prayer needed please :)

    I truly appreciate the prayers! However, I am a female LOL Perhaps that response was meant for someone else??

    Prayer needed please :)

    I do contract work right now and I feel like lately I am not getting work that is suitable to my abilities. It gets very awkward when you get highly recommended and you feel you may not be fast enough because the client company keeps wondering why things are not going as fast as they would like...

    If homosexuality is a sin, then why didn't Jesus say anything about it?

    I think its kind of funny how everyone who tries to justify this says 'its not in the bible' *rolls eyes* and if we are talking about people being born with a certain tendency towards liking someone of the opposite sex and saying its perfectly fine to live this way, then on that same line of...

    Men think, women think this. Women think, men think that.

    No, I don't like needy feminine men either...understanding and strong, yes, but needy is such a turn-off!!

    Men think, women think this. Women think, men think that.

    A problem I have found with some men is that often they are too self-sacrificing - and what I mean is that all too often its like ok, we can do whatever you want to do, when really I want to do what he wants as well. It was like well, sheesh, you are losing your identity because you think it...

    My (subjective) list of the greatest country songs ever recorded

    I don't like country music generally but I will make an exception for "Land of the Living" by Pam Tillis, "She's in Love with the Boy" by Trisha Yearwood, and "Someone Else's Dream" by Faith Hill :)

    Christian guys confuse me!

    I have had so many similar things like this happen to me with guys as well - perhaps not the exact same situation, but yeah, it makes no sense as to why people do that?? It will forever be a mystery to me and something that I have been praying alot about - just to meet people who are simply...

    Complaints: I hate it when ...

    I hate it when someone asks you to do something before you have a chance to offer to do it yourself (because, while I was wanting to offer and help on my own, I was still trying to wake up or deal with something that was my own unseen reality that nobody knew about, and frankly, that nobody...

    Christian guys confuse me!

    And on the flip side, I have actually been 'cold' to guys because I was scared they would think I was after them...and then I get accused of not being approachable...its like you can't win either way! LOL Learning to let go of all that though and just be me and take each situation differently...

    Christian guys confuse me!

    I will often wonder the same thing about whether a guy likes me if I am good friends with a guy and I like him but I never ever bring it up with him...I guess I am the type who would rather enjoy it for what it is and not go there in my head. I don't want to risk asking and lose ALL contact...

    Christian guys confuse me!

    Well if a guy flirts very outrageously and overtly, then yes, its wrong to lead them on, not to mention NOT FAIR!! As for not taking men seriously when they flirt, I have known that since my late twenties and now if I know a guy is like that, I make sure I don't get too wrapped up into that or...

    Christian guys confuse me!

    Just want to clarify - when I say I get grossed out, because I am sickened by the fact that someone thinks I wanted something impure from them because I don't like being misunderstood. Or else it leads to a lot of condemnation on my part, which isn't right because I did nothing wrong, but my...

    Christian guys confuse me!

    That is actually a very good point and very true! I grew up with a lot of European people in my small town and DEFINITELY noticed the same thing. And flirting means different things to many different people, I find too. I am shocked when people have thought I was flirting with them and had bad...

    Christian guys confuse me!

    Its not only guys though...anyone who is anybody wants sex because, like I said, we are only human beings. Be honorable yes, but at the end of the day we can't be robots :) If we have a thought, it means we are human, if we dwell on it, it means we are sinning, plain and simple!

    Christian guys confuse me!

    I don't know how simply adding a guy on Facebook is "chasing" them though?? I think, and no offense, that that is a rather strict viewpoint. Chasing them would be a guy being passive and a girl being desperate and saying they want to do this and that, if they haven't had a base of a friendship...

    Christian guys confuse me!

    Wanting sex though, and specifically setting out for it are two different things....a guy (and girls too of course, but in this case we are talking about a guy) who is a Christian will want sex because he is human, plain and simple. But that doesn't mean that they will set out specifically for...

    Prayers needed!

    Amen to that, thankyou! :) And yes, you are so right and that was what God was trying to show me, for sure! Its neat because this type of thing has never happened before and it was a rather quick answer to prayer, when really I didn't even pray for an answer, I simply decided to carry on with...

    Some Things That People Have No Automatic Right To Ask You...

    This reminds me of something that happened about a year or so ago...I went to this Meetup group and they already were not very inclusive to begin with and I am sitting here feeling awkward not knowing what to say. Well, one of the leaders, after like ten minutes of ignoring my presence, then...
