deep, indescribable affection. in my life, I have NEVER experienced such a deep connection with, and felt such a fervent love for another human being in my life like I have those things with my wife. She is not only beautiful outside, and inside, but also is connected to me in a way I can't express! When the bible says the two become one, it is absolutely true! I am 100% attached to her in my heart at all times. We are not able to be separated, even if distance be between us (which we both find hard to bear, and our hearts throb to be in each other's presence again). Being in love with my wife is the most blessed earthly thing I've ever had. God can and will give such a blessing to you (if indeed it is for you), if you fully trust Him, and let Him lead you. Be as patient as you can, and ask for grace for when you can't. I have failed many times in my life trying to wait in my own strength. Ask God for it, rather than try it on your own. God bless you all.

[@vaquera9368]

That’s why you should choose WISELY. Men don’t just end up with a Jezebel. Things don’t happen like that. Plan. Seek the Lord in ALL you do. God tells people to use discernment and godly wisdom. Hosea married a whore in the Bible and he persevered with her and she eventually submitted to her husband. He won her heart. If a man marries a Jezebel, she’ll definitely have him on his KNEES seeking the Lord and he should be laying down his life for his wife like the Bible says. Watch Johnny on KZbin. It’s an amazing short video on unconditional love.

[@vaquera9368]

@cRAzy A has nothing to do with luck. It has to do with using wisdom in choosing a mate. And even in a difficult marriage God is in the midst teaching BOTH people how to submit to Him. The man should be laying down his life for his wife regardless of her behavior.

[@HeavensCupid]

As much as i would love to have this not just for myself but to please God as well, i feel like it’s more of a distant dream or fantasy to be married. It seems as if everyone in the world is just untrustworthy even if they claim to be believers of Jesus Christ and aside from that i just have a lot of things about myself that wouldn’t attract a woman to want to marry me. I struggle financially, i’m not exactly masculine in comparison to people back then i grew up in a environment that didn’t exactly build me up to be masculine plus i have a lot of trauma’s and problems with my personality. So even though i would love to be married with someone and raise a family together i just don’t see myself as fit for such a future and wouldn’t want my children to suffer from my genetics.

[@Pedro-of4tn]

Indeed it can be something hard to bear, brother or sister in Christ. I am single, I have never been married or been intimate with a woman(as in intimately) and it can be difficult to burn with passion. From what I have heard with people who are married and are not able to be physically with their spouse in person for whatever reason, and then also widows or widowers it is tough, I can imagine that it might be harder for a divorced person, who is like stuck in the middle. Though you might be able to reconcile with your spouse, if they are unmarried, but if they are not, then I do not know if you can both still be reconciled. But you do good in obeying God and his commandments, may God bless you in Jesus Christ's name, Amen.

[@jeremyjeremy8795]

The primary purpose of marriage is to present to the world a picture of Christ and his bride. When a woman divorces her husband and yes women are the reasons why divorces occur 80% of all divorces are initiated by or granted to the woman 90% if she’s college educated so women are the problem with divorce in our country.

And if they want to get married that is their right. The speaker said that one of the reasons to get married was to have children. But there are certain women who cannot have children or certain women who are married to men who cannot have children. My point is if that is the case are they not allowed to get married since they cannot be fruitful and multiply? When you actually look at it, religion is he dictatorship.

If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. Isaiah 45:21-25 King James Version 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. 23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. 24 Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. 25 In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory. Philippians 2:6-11 King James Version 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Revelation 1:8 King James Version 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 2 Corinthians 13:14 King James Version 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

@@Pedro-of4tn I beg to differ sir/mam. The Quran acknowledges Issa peace be upon him as a prophet of the Lord almighty, unlike the jews who regards Jesus as " bad words" the jews say bad thing about our prophet peace be upon him, Jesus, while we Muslims offer great respect to him. we believe in his miracles birth, we believe Mother Mary was a pious woman and honorable, in the Holy Quran we have a whole chapter named as chapter Mary. we believe he did many miracles by the power/ permission from the Allah, we believe he did many good works and acted as a guide for his people and taught them about the Lord almighty and how to get to him. we believe he is coming back to earth. the points we differ with you Christians is that we don't believe Jesus pbuh died ever, we believe that the Lord saved him from crucifixion and lifted him to the heavens. and we believe he is a prophet of the Lord, just like all the other prophets of the Lord, from Adam peace be upon him till the last of the prophet, prophet Mohammed pbuh. We also agree with the Jews in the point that they differ with you christians which is we believe that the Lord almighty is One, only one purely, not three in one or one with different heads or however you split it. Pure monotheism. Its funny how you put the jews with you in the same circle when you said " have you read the scriptures that the Jews and Christians have" sir/mam, they don't even acknowledge you, they say bad things about Jesus which you consider him as God. It is us Muslims who you should take as allies not them, we honor Jesus pbuh we love him and respect him, we believe in his message. its just that we believe the bible today is not the bible of Jesus of what he said and told. it has been changed and manipulated for various reasons. You got it ! and the Lord knows best.
