theculturewarrior Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 No worries, qfnol. Everyone who has somebody is blessed to have them, if nothing else, because they have the opportunity to love in the truest sense of the word. (Especially, in the sacrificial sense). Everybody who is single is also blessed, because they have the opportunity to discern, to focus on other important matters, to listen to God's voice to see if they are being called to a higher calling. Marriage and single life are both blessed, they were both created by God. It is better to be satisfied with what you have, and to discern what you need and pray for who you need. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Well, at least i'm not the only one whose never been kissed either. I've been doing some thinking about this (rommantic realtionships I mean) and I think I've reached the conclusion that dating outside of courtship would be lust. Now, I'm not calling it nessacrilly sinful, but I still think it's lust. I mean aren't a couple who really aren't even thinking about getting married just using each other so they can feel good? That's what lust is. Then there's the fact that they're giving their heart to someone that they have no intrest in marrying. Isn't this why we don't have sex before marriage in the first place? I mean if you're constantly just giving your heart away it doesn't mean anything to you and it won't mean anything more when you give it to your spouse. It just seems that we here in this club should be [i]proud[/i] that we've never dated or been kissed casue we're the one's who actually value our hearts!

I assure you that they weren't good experiences. Fine then I'll make my own club. :angry: J.R.D Dating is not in itself bad. Dating is a way to find the one God has picked for you.

XIX Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 [quote name='thedude' date='Oct 15 2004, 03:11 PM'] Nope. I've been asked but a girlfriend wouldn't fit into the picture with my schedule (and the fact that I am leaning towards a chaste religious vocation). [/quote] Every vocation is called to chastity. I think you mean a "celibate" vocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to think of a good serious mission and support system. Food for thought. When you date the way God intended it, dating will not lead to evil things.

StColette Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 How about those of us who have reformed our old dating ways? Yeah we were dumbie heads and dated people without the thought of marrying them, but we've also learned that we should only date a person if we can truly and absolutely see ourselves marrying that person. So how about it yall ? Will you let the reformed daters join ? We don't like being left out in the cold because of our boo-boos of the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
