Couldn't have said it any better Sistagirl.Originally posted by sistagirl:
[qb]I'm a witness..and we use those beautiful words to describe our mate "He completes me" with dreamy eyesOriginally posted by britisha:
[qb]
So many times some people enter a marriage with a whole lot of emotional baggage, thinking that the other partner like a magic wand can erase all these problems and they will enter a new state of profound wedded bliss. That is not reality, that is a delusion; as a result some of these marriages that were doomed to failure, live out the expectation and fail. [/qb]
NO! God alone completes us..when we allow Him to. It is during our single time that we are to let Him have His way with us. Swoon us, love us, court us..only then will we be fulfilled.. [/qb]

Re: Lady in Waiting
((Queen)).. Luckily you never succumbed to the 'pity-party'.. but some ladies submit all to well, to a point in which it becomes their daily speech..Originally posted by Queen:
[qb] I remembered these points very well, the traveling bit, I already practice, but it hit home a lot with not having a pity party thing, something we women can get caught up in all too often. great book. [/qb]
It sickens me.. 'Spiritual parasites' my friend and I call them. It is like you have to commit to encouraging them to a point where they can attempt to 'suck out' the very spirit of happiness and drag you down in their depression..
Every encouragement they counter with a equal negative reaction of hopelessness and despair.
sheeeeeeecccccchhhhh give me break! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] ..
THE GRASS is not always as GREEN as it looks from a far.. I repeat - Marriage or any relationship for that matter - whether financial or material does not complete you!!! Focus on the creator not the creature..
Marriage is not the ultimate goal of life or the epic during ones pursuant of success.. Let us work on developing ourselves, before we even consider embarking on such a complex ministry.. Persons bringing their 'baggage of issues' to such a union is simply hauling a foundation of destruction.
Page 21
Only a single woman who understands this means of being complete in Jesus is mature enough to be a helpmeet (compliment). "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power"
Colossians 2:9-10

Here it is:
Beluved, I don't know how long you were single. From what I understand it was for a while. I have never been one to sit at home and have pity parites. I will vent yes but I go OUT. I am one of the most active people around with a WIDE range of interests. As for travel, I have done more than your average person. God has blessed me with opportunities to travel to Europe on a number of occasions and as far away as Asia (7 times). I paid for NONE of this as it was business related and I was able to tack the fun parts on to it.
You are married now so you many not remember how tiresome it is to do EVERYTHING alone. I mean it really wears on you after a while...especially when you are surrounded by blondes who flaunt and show off their partners.

You may not respond to this but I am going to risk asking anyway:
How is your prayer life? It has been said that a person's prayer life is the safest indication of the strength of the bonds of the relationship that he/she has with God. True fulfillment is found in relationship with God and being with God is anything but boring.Comment
