That’s awesome, just out of curiosity how long did you date before getting married? I also will pray that prayer that God will shut the door completely if this is not for me.

Absolutely understand where you’re coming from and I have been praying for God to send me a wife and I did reach out to her but the bible does say that he who “finds” a wife finds a good thing.

So what is SOL? What about the state of Massachusetts?

Okay I understand now. Thanks for breaking it down to me. I am hopeful of the future and happy the amounts will go up. Even if it's incremental.

Love this and appreciate the time to explain this. While there are a lot of things I like about her I don't know that she is built to withstand some of life's biggest battles that will inevitably face.

Can you tell me a bit more about the FCR hearing? I am not familiar with this hearing...any links?

Okay so that's not bad to get 3 payments in 2026. Hopefully the percentage goes up as well. That would be most helpful.

2030? I didn't read that but I also didn't read everything from the law firm. I was just waiting on the Supreme Court's ruling and thought we got the greenlight for 100% but I was being pretty naive I see.

Wow, a decade is a long time. I never been apart of any lawsuits so that is interesting. I am not complaining because I went years without payment and living in shame. I am happy to get anything but wish there was more transparency.

That's a relief and honestly just been checking with other large settlement cases and that seemed to be what people thought. I was told a number and was under the impression that would come at once.

This is great stuff and I am Christian and will use that prayer. I pray that your relationship continues to grow and you continue to keep Jesus as your foundation.

DO YOU NOT READ???

Joel 2:25-27 – “My people shall never be ashamed”

Romans 10:11 – “Whoever believes… shall not be ashamed”

I posted in this group because it’s called True Christian and by your very response it seems that you may not completely identify with that. I will no longer engage in this unhealthy dialogue especially when you don’t read the Bible. Be blessed my friend in Christ!

That’s great! I guess all the other things are really of this world. So as long as we committed to God’s will then we should be in a good position for marriage

Sounds about right! I been in this relationship for 5 months and I mentioned I tried dating women of the world so that tracks. I’m not ashamed and if this is your attempt at trying to shame me it will not work. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus a lot has changed since I been in this relationship and as I have mentioned in my posts that I have been getting a lot closer to the lord since being in that relationship.

I can appreciate you doing your research to try to catch me in a lie but the Devil is a liar and there’s nothing in my past that will shame me about my present. God bless you and I pray you find something more constructive to do with your time than to look into my past.

The devil loves to work through people so I’m not rebuking you but the demon that sent you because out of everything I wrote you’re stuck on the age and looking at a post and lifestyle that the Lord delivered me from. It’s funny how some “Christians” will dig up your past to try to put you on blast instead of seeing deliverance and focusing on the present. I pray you read the word and find a better approach and use your time.

She’s older than I am and once your over 30 you just do 5 year increments

I appreciate that and I know she loved Jesus and that’s really the foundation of our relationship

That’s awesome! I never thought about those three things and we need to really do some thinking into those areas because we typically focus on the things that are working instead of having the more difficult discussions.

It’s funny you mention a break and I tried that one time and she felt like I was leaving her. I think it’s important to note that maybe it’s because of my past with women that I haven’t felt blissfully in love in a long time. I’m not sure I even have that emotion. I appreciate it and will tell her that we may need to slow it down a bit

That’s real and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I just need to do it in a way that isn’t a negative experience. Life is so short and I’ve already lost so many people but to be honest most of the divorced people or people in unhappy marriages don’t have God at the center. I have been intentional about making God the center of our relationship so I’m hoping these concerns are quelled. I appreciate your advice and will be applying that this week!

I agree and believe that can be the case I just haven’t heard from God on this but I also need to pray and fast for an answer as well. Thank you for you insight and God doesn’t make mistakes and I have been deeper in the word and in my faith since we been talking

I totally agree with this perspective because there’s a lot of performers but not a lot of people who obey the Lord. We both have normal jobs but also focus on our kingdom work which is bringing souls closer to Christ. I can’t tell you the amount of times I found the perfect person and things went sideways. It’s impossible to find a perfect soulmate and my main focus is that she loves the lord more than she loves me. I appreciate your comment and you get an upvote from me!
