Yes, I have experienced this. I prefer not to share too many details. However, it concerns something I prayed for God to prevent. I prayed about it for more than 17 years. When it eventually happened despite my prayers, I fell into a deep depression. Later, after recovering from the depression...

I almost think these problems would be wonderful :p. Now you wonder why? Because that would mean there are other single Christians looking for partners and some chance of finding a good partner :D. There is not even one single woman close to my age in my church.

This weekend I have not done much more than go to church, visit my parents, take walks and do a bit of cleaning. Yesterday I went for a 12.5 km walk, and today a bit more than 6 km. I always find it easier to do things for others than for myself. If I have to push myself to do something, it...

It should have been "Thank you", not "That you" in the previous post.

That you, but I do not think it is that rare. :)

I do not care about sports on TV. In fact, I do not even own a TV. There are many more interesting things to do than watch television. While I am not interested in watching sports, I do like to get some exercise myself. Today I went for a walk outside, and then I did some pull-ups, push-ups...

I have read those chapters. I do not wish to debate further, but the Bible does not classify cousin marriage as incest. It forbids marriage with parents, siblings, and uncles or aunts, but cousins are never mentioned. Earlier I even cited an example from the Bible where cousins married AFTER...

Oh, how I wish I could edit my post above. I would remove the incomplete sentence that I accidentally left at the bottom.

No. Even thou I do think it is too close, and there are risks of genetic problems, the Bible does not forbid marriage between cousins. It is the closest family relationship that Scripture permits within the marriage laws given. Numbers 36:11: “Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milcah and Noah, the...

Here in Finland it is legal, but I do not know anyone who has married or even dated a cousin. Personally I think it is too close.

For me, closeness is romantic. It can be holding hands, resting our heads together, long hugs, and so on. Closeness is my love language, and I feel loved when someone wants to be close to me. Nagging, on the other hand, is a romance‑killer.

I actually added an "I am a man and just want to vote"-option to the poll. :LOL: Too bad I removed it before I submitted the poll.

I am curious of what females prefer regarding beard, so I decided to make a poll to get some statistics. :giggle:

I am a man who showers daily. For a date, I would be clean, well-groomed, have my clothes ironed, and wear a big smile. I would aim to dress appropriately for the activity we have planned. I currently maintain a trimmed beard and make sure it is even, though sometimes I wonder if being...

If God has a future wife for me, it will most likely begin as a long-distance relationship. I would never marry an unbeliever, and there is not even one believing single woman close to my age around here. They are all married. I am not joking nor exaggerating. I know a long-distance...

I’m really sorry you had to deal with that. It must have been frustrating and unpleasant to receive PMs like that. I think you do an excellent job creating threads here!

When I first read the title, my immediate question was whether it refers to romantic love or friendship. My second thought was whether that distinction even matters. And yes, in matters. But first, what are we ourselves called to do? Jesus tells us to love even our enemies. It is easy not to...

I am not a native English speaker, but when I read the Bible in English, I usually choose either the NASB or the (N)KJV. Choose a Bible translation that you find easy to read. Some people argue strongly in favor of a particular translation, but the reality is that the truth can be found in any...

It serves to show that the old serpent, the devil, was acting through him. In short, it indicates that he was evil. I needed a word that would rhyme with “this,” and “hiss” fit. People who betray those close to them are also often referred to as “snakes.”

The first one is Achan. The second one is Paul, as @AnOldLady already pointed out.
