Adding to this thought, the type of relationship that leads to marriage, and marriage itself, should be an area where no topic is restricted, but I would expect some disclosures to wait for the deeper friendship. Knowing oneself is essential to being able to know someone else. Controlling my life in alignment with the will of God (Spirit-filled, self controlled, doing what the Messiah teaches us) and encouraging others to do the same - that doesn't change.
Suze dear Sis. what did we do to you? why are you messing with our lonely brains? where will we take spooning now? where is the referee Suze needs a yellow card
. as a single that is a dream for me. just someone to hold.
Happy marriage sister
Bless u sister , he didn't do anything bad I promise . It's just that people r individuals and therefore we don't always agree on everything or want the same things at the same time . Spending a lot of time with the same person is wonderful , most of the time , but occasionally we can get on each others nerves , this is when we need to b patient and put in a bit of extra effort . After 24 years that adds up to a lot of effort on both sides .Suze dear Sis. what did we do to you? why are you messing with our lonely brains? where will we take spooning now? where is the referee Suze needs a yellow card

I would not want to start up again with someone else , have to learn all their little ways and foibles and make all that effort again
. My hubby is worth the effort but I doubt there is anyone else out there that would put up with me and I don't want anyone else other than my Steve 
. My advice ? Enjoy being single ! Enjoy your freedom while u have it . When u find that special someone , grab them and keep tight hold ! U r a lovely soul , I don't doubt that the right man will find u , in God's good time

Dear Lady
Here we don't date, infact the pastor may have a cardiac arrest if you say you are dating. Christians here don't do my boyfriend or my girlfriend. they may but in hiding it's almost a Taboo to us. If you divorce once please hide it otherwise no one gets married to you. No pastor will celebrate a second marriage except death and extremely complicated cases.
Christian courtship here is 6 months and it is followed up by the pastor. He talks on friendship, finances, love, sex during the six months. He may stop at some point and ask the couple to cool off, He may call it off totally when he discovers in compartibility. however many still date behind then when they feel like it, they come to see the pastor for teaching.
Just to say talking about sex is ok before your hearts can't break free

Being a married man myself I totally agree with you. Nothing like snuggling next to my honey in bed.

Forgive some humor, y'all, but after I checked notifications for this thread I went over to fb and saw this in my dashboard. It might be helpful information for the upcoming holiday!

Thank you! That's very smashing of you to say!!
Blessings
You're always very welcome, sis! You know, it's so refreshing to meet people who has a sense of humour in this Forum!! There should be a lot more of it!
Besides, laughter is the best medicine, as they say, and also I believe that GOD did give us a sense of humour to use!
Most of the guys I w*rk with would expect something very different if they spent 500 bucks...
Fortunately my family harbors no illusions about my indolence in the romance department. But if I did pull this kind of trick they would bug me forever about where my "girlfriend" went after the dinner. How is she doing? Do you ever talk to her?
Oh gosh!!!
There are tariffs on dating packages too?
I'd have a hard time even with the $100 package. I like keeping my money in my pocket. Is there a sandwich level package?
That reminded me of my witty mother. When one of us kids would compliment her, she'd say, Awh, honey, that's worth a quarter. (Sometimes we even got the quarter, usually not.) Dad - he was a different sort. When we'd ask for a nickle (back when that would get us a candy bar), he's say, No, but I'll give you a Yankee dime. I just googled it to make sure it still meant what it meant back then, so I wouldn't get in trouble for how definitions have changed. I think I'm safe in sharing this, lol! Um...it's a little late now, but maybe we should have complimented Dad.Oh gosh!!!

And with the price of those hilarious packages, I find myself wondering if a quarter's worth would even get you eye contact.

Lol!
We're going to need a little clarification here!
What, exactly would qualify as "The Sandwich Level Package"?
Such as:
* Does this mean you pay for it in sandwiches?! And what kind of sandwiches are we talking here? Good old-fashioned Butternut, or something fancy like Italian or sourdough?
* Does The Sandwich Package mean she will agree to meet and have sandwiches with your family?
* Does this include the sandwich, or will she have to bring her own?
(Which brings me to the next egregious pay gap I've noticed between the "boyfriends" vs. the "girlfriends" -- see next post.)
It's funny that this seems to be one area of, um, employment, where the women apparently make the most money.
But I think we can all agree that the added things required here: hugging a stranger's parents, taking photos with the client and/or his family, taking his mom a gift, and pretending to be engaged are next-level perks.
HOWEVER.
I MUST complain about the serious pay discrepancy in that the "Boyfriend Packages" all ensure (right there in the totally legally binding contract,) that they are guaranteed a full plate at dinner, and even a to-go plate for the Top Tier Package.
Now, maybe it's assumed that the "Girlfriend Package" employees will actually get to consume an actual plateful of food at the dinners they are contracted to attend -- but I think it's only fair that the Top Tier Girlfriend Package also be guaranteed a to-go plate.
And if it happens to be Thanksgiving @CarriePie's -- seeing all the gourmet food she fixes -- forget the to-go plate.
I'm wrapping up any and all leftovers -- making my own mobile buffet -- and taking the dang whole thing home.
Wow!
I just noticed Carries other package up there. Now if the $500 girlfriend package included getting a kiss and a "I love You" ... Well, I might splurge and get that kiss on the cheek and the I love you... Heck, I'll even wash dishes!

This might be a good time to warn everyone that I'm flying outta state next month where I plan to do a lot of cooking over the winter. And I have plenty of new recipes that I plan/hope to try. You might be seeing a lot of food pics from me lol.
One of my grandmothers really liked Golden Girls and I would watch it with her. If remember correctly in one episode Blanche had a license plate (or bumper sticker) on her car that said, "So many men, so little time." Well, mine would say, "So many recipes, so little time." lol
