Why is everyone so mean to John on this forum? Whats wrong with yall!
You are absolutely correct JohnB. We need lots of prayer and consideration on marriage, on WHO to marry and IF we should even marry in that situation of our lives, or IF we should ever marry.
Me personally I am not married because I don't have the money to support a wife, simple reason, not that I have anyone in mind either, all the Christian women I know are already married.

Ephesians 5:25-33
King James Version
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

Heres the thing about marriage.....agree to disagree if you cant do that then forget it.
Your never going to find the perfect person in fact that really boring.
Two people come together to share one life. Not to rule over each other but to journey through the ups and downs.
Our biggest argument was when we were being conciled by our pastor. He said the husband is the head of the house.
After that bomb shell we proceeded to have it out in the parking lot after the meeting. She wanted equal say in all things.
50/50 thats how she saw it. I think JESUS over heard our disagreement as did the neighbors.
The next few days were shall we say...quiet and intense as to our communication.
We meant with our pastor about a week later. He opened up with this statment...he said...wouldnt you agree that anything born with 2 heads is a freak? Wow like he had insite on what was going on. WE both agreed to his question then my wife calmly said ..so if things mess up i can blame my husband? He smiled and said well if he was the last word on it.
With that she smiled and said...ok im in.
That was 40 yrs ago. And we have had our shares of ups and downs. Ive made mistakes as well as she. But what always pulled us together is agreeing to disagree. Not lording over but giving time to see what becomes of of our decisions.
