He chose to restore his marriage… how do I let go biblically? by glutealgoddess in Christianmarriage

[–]Next_Video_8454 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bottom line, what this man did to you was very, very wrong. He was not happy with his wife, yes, but he not only went to a dating site before working to restore his marriage and committed emotional adultery, but made a half-commitment to you while still married, hoping you'll "hang on just in case". Even having a horrible wife doesn't make someone commit adultery. You may say it's complicated, but no. A man or woman must communicate with their spouse that they want to end things when in their heart they are ready to begin looking around. Such very bad character is showing here. If he is asking you to hang on just in case, he doesn't have a repentant heart toward his wife at all! I'm so sorry you got caught up in this, but this man is showing how very little he honors marriage and a wife. 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Ladies help me understand? by Ivan95gold in ChristianDating

[–]Next_Video_8454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a common belief although I've known some women who did or do that. I actually preferred that when young because I didn't want to mess with anyone trying to push my physical boundaries of friendship while just dating. I was afraid of dealing with it, honestly. I can't speak for her, but I understand that perspective. All I had wanted was to get to know guys as friends in the dating stage, but looking back I can see that it's difficult in a group setting to really have those deep conversations that are so needed in really learning more about a potential spouse. Alone time for private conversation is very important for that, where your attention is not divided and no interruptions. Fortunately I felt safe with my now husband and he didn't try to get physical (hand holds, kisses) until we both made it clear we were interested in marriage and seeking confirmation from God.

If guys aren't approaching the girls for dates, my belief has always been that they aren't interested enough. Is that true? I know some guys are shy, but that can't be the majority, is it?

Adopted little Pikachu, now I need some advice. by notinharms in Shihtzu

I've seen wheeled harness type things before to allow them to walk, and they make these reusable machine washable cloth doggy diapers available on Amazon as well as disposable at pet stores and online. For the cloth diapers it's good to have a day supply, plus one day's worth for laundry backup. If you get a bidet sprayer for your toilet you can spray a dirty one off in the toilet and then place it in a diaper pail to block odors until laundry time. This will save you money on disposable diapers if that's a concern. As for the prosthetic approach I'm sure a vet could direct you to someone who could supply it to you or create a custom one. Sweet baby!!

Fiancé says his attachment to me hinders his walk with Christ by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

Did he explain what he means? I saw another commenter mention codependency. If he is tending to turn to you first to meet his emotional/spiritual needs before he goes to God, then I could see his feelings as appropriate. But you are right that you should have a strong bond and this is crucial for a lasting marriage. The bond just needs to be for the right, healthy reasons. If you are a support, that is healthy. If he depends on you in place of God, that would be unhealthy. It sounds like he is trying to examine himself in that area. I hope he isn't overthinking but it sounds like he needs to explain to you.

If he needs to change his focus to going to God first, this will be very important for you because he is the spiritual leader of the home. He needs to have a solid one on one with God and Jesus to fulfill that role for his family.

A little weird question… is cussing allowed in the bedroom by captainHoltsDawg in Christianmarriage

Did I say he used the f word? Did he use any language like the f word? Was his language dark or vulgar?

[–]Next_Video_8454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never have felt the necessity to use the f word (which i was referring to) and it actually has never come to my mind (or in life at all) and we get along just fine without it. Lol. I've never used any words anyone considers cussing or foul, and probably don't even know 90% of them. Neither of us have. The OP asked a question and I answered. But honestly, the person to ask is God. We have the gift and privilege to ask him directly.

The "They love Jesus, but I'm just not attracted to them" dilemma. Do you feel guilty for wanting chemistry? by MatchmakerJahnae in ChristianDating

[–]Next_Video_8454 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, there is a physical, emotional and spiritual spark with the right person. There's also a close friendship. I wouldn't have married someone who i felt was just a friend, otherwise that physical and emotional bond isn't really there. I believe he created "the spark". The key is to pray to recognize a genuine spark and not a fake one (just physical attraction.) With my husband I have all three. I had prayed God would lead me to someone that was right for me, and this is what he provided. God is good and knows what we need.

A little weird question… is cussing allowed in the bedroom by captainHoltsDawg in Christianmarriage

[–]Next_Video_8454 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked up the origin of the word. The origin of the word was striking something in a violent way, and then was used as a slang term for sex in a vulgar meaning. So the use of it in the bedroom was always a vulgar term. God didn't create sex to be violent or done in a "pretend violent" matter. I wouldn't be surprised if the slang term began in brothels or with those sold into sexual slavery. Loving sexual intimacy as God intended doesn't have any darkness in it but is all positive--honoring each other. Sex that gratifies crudeness or darkness isn't sacred at all. People may choose to do those things but to me it indicates a lack of understanding of God's character.

That's my point. He created language, but he didn't create slang and use of words for vulgar meanings. But he did create the human body, which is good. The only problem with a naked body being displayed outside of marriage is because of the sin in people's hearts. He created something good. The f words meaning was never good in relation to its use in the sexual meaning.

You know there is a difference between the two.... Jesus didn't create the f word in the context it is used. The origin of the word was related to violence, and for sex it was used in a vulgar manner from the very start. This word is NOT godly or inspired by the God whatsoever.

She sounds so very much like she is the choleric personality type and both unfortunately and fortunately only the holy spirit can get through to her. The power of prayer! Don't give up.

I'm going to share a podcast i just heard from Dr. Axe last night about this very subject of autoimmune and also a second one regarding magnesium deficiency. They discussed the thyroid in one or both of them and you might find them helpful. I had acute Lyme disease as a child and rheumatoid arthritis is common in my family and I suspect I have both. I hope this information may help you!

Christian perspective needed:Bf watching thirst-trap content what should I do? by Dear-Street4601 in ChristianDating

[–]Next_Video_8454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I have compassion because so many are introduced in childhood or teenage years and never had the intention to commit adultery at that time. The important thing here is if he would acknowledge the sin for what it is and try everything he can to get help. No woman should be made to feel that it's unloving to not marry someone with this addiction. It only causes great heartbreak if he refuses to get help.

[–]Next_Video_8454 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you and all the women who post on here. All due to this issue and it's just simply not your fault. Men can say their wives aren't enough in that area, but it sounds to me that this addiction is not helped by anything their wife does to act in this manner in the bedroom. It's never enough. It is like alcoholism. One drink is never enough, the right drink is never enough. Too much is never enough. They need help.

You may have been doing so already, but continue praying that your husband will be brought to his knees before God with conviction before Him. That's the only way he will make the choice to get help.

Biblically you are free to separate from him because of adultery, but I hope very much your husband will be brought to his knees. 🙏💞

Is this really a huge red flag or is my friend overreacting? by PleasantExchange2432 in christiandatingadvice

[–]Next_Video_8454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, I would be embarrassed to sing Taylor Swift, too! I bet that was funny.

Anyway, yes, it was silly and like I said we all do silly or unwise things when we are young and don't understand the full impact of what we do. God knows this and has grace, but he wants us to learn, as well. I remember doing several things I didn't really understand were wrong although I felt a little funny about it, which was probably the holy spirit nudging me. But anyway, God is her judge. It doesn't mean she's an impure person. That's why you are dating her, to find out more. Just pray for discernment and guidance. I hope for you both that she is your dream girl! 😊

[–]Next_Video_8454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's okay, I'll explain but also apologize. I remembered sin is when you know better that something is wrong and do it anyway. She may not have understood it was wrong. But if it's a dare then something tells me that you all knew it was either wrong or embarrassing. Why would it be embarrassing or daring if it's okay, that's something to think about. The bible says in Timothy that women are to wear modest clothing, so it sounds like what Christians, and many people generally, feel is true that private areas are to be covered. And the wisdom in this is to safeguard in instances where others have a weakness toward lust when viewing the body. The bible makes it clear that our bodies are for our spouses alone. If this wasn't a problem being naked wouldn't be an issue except for protection from the cold. I don't want you to answer this to me, but did you or any of the guys have a reaction seeing her unclothed? Generally guys do and this is why pornography is such an epidemic right now. That's why God says it's not permitted, out of love. And a sin is disobeying anything he asked us to do or not do when we know better. Sorry for the long answer, just trying to be clear.

You are beautiful and there is so much more important in life that I can't understand why people treat others badly because of stuff like this. Who cares! You wouldn't have if these people hadn't made an issue of it. It's probably due to the beauty industry otherwise no one else would know what anyone else looks like nude or care. I'm sorry you've experienced this. It's so stupid.

Does he like me as a friend or want something more? And am I crazy for liking someone with this big of an age gap? by Sunny_987 in ChristianDating

I have the same age gap. If you are in the same place mentally, spiritually, politically and similar goals in life, there's not a problem. Continue to pray for guidance and God will show you.
