Example: If you dont like a man who uses profanity, but you met a really great person but your starting to notice he has a bit of a potty mouth, would you end it? How would you deal with that?

View Profile History	What are some things that you would Posted : 16 Sep, 2010 11:15 PM If we are just dating, I can compromise few things at certain level, but if it is way too much, I would tell him that I am not comfy with it. If he didn't respect that, I would flee. If we are getting serious, then it would be the agreement between two people. If we love God, we would want to change to become Christ alike. Post Reply

paschen81 View Profile History	What are some things that you would Posted : 17 Sep, 2010 06:18 AM Whether I would compromise or not would depend on what type of compromise we are talking about here. Moral Issues: No Non-Moral Issues: possibly if I felt comfortable with the compromise In your example you chose profanity. This can and usually is a moral issue since most people who use profanity also include key words and phrases that do not use our Creator and Savior's name's in a proper manner. Now, that being said, I wouldn't say I would obviously just end a relationship because they need to work on their language choices as I too have a few small issues with this problem myself. I however, am working on changing and if the other person was also it would show that God is working on them as well as he's working on me. Profanity along while not a moral sin cast's the person spewing it as an unintelligent person (in my opinion) but I know personally that such language is like a bad habit (think smoking) that you know is wrong, you don't want to continue to perpetuate the behavior yet many times you engage in it without even thinking. The other part of taking our Lord's name in vain... WAY too many Christians are also guilty of this... How often in our lives do we show an exclamation of some type of emotion by saying "OMG" or "For the love of god" (yes small g on that one) and do it so casually... yet being the "good little christians" we are... rationalize our use of such phrases "Oh... I was really talking to him when I said that... " or "OMG... the G stands for "goodness" knowing that the world KNOWS that the G does not stand for goodness... and then you have the whole using non-existent words to try to sound less sinful yet everyone knows your only fooling yourself... words like gosh or geez. Take the time to really think about it.... I know I am guilty of it... Now, if the compromise your talking about is say : all he ever wears are red shirts and I can't stand the color red but otherwise he's a really great guy... yes that would be something I would compromise for. (gets off soapbox now) sorry if I came off as being preachy Post Reply

bcpianogal View Profile History	What are some things that you would Posted : 17 Sep, 2010 06:29 AM I could compromise on small theological issues (like which version of the Bible is the best, or infant vs. adult baptist, or use of the spiritual gifts, etc.), but not on major ones (like salvation, eternal security, inerrancy of Scripture, Heaven and Hell, etc.). Another area in which I'd be willing to compromise would be (as you mentioned) the use of profanity. I personally do NOT use profanity, and I even try to stay away from "second-cousin-cuss-words" such as "gosh" and "darn." I don't care, however, if a guy uses SCCWs. If he were to cuss like a sailor, I'd have a problem with it. If he USED to cuss like a sailor, but is now trying to clean up his speech, I'd probably be fine with that (as long as there is progress!). If a guy who typically didn't cuss were to say one after hitting his finger with a hammer (or some other similarly painful or shocking event), I'd probably not even notice. One last area that I would compromise in is location. While I'd love to stay near my family (near, as in no more than 2-3 hours away), for the right man, I'd move across the country. Not out of the country though (unless we were called to the mission field, or his job required it after we were married)! I'm sure there are numerous areas that would be easy to compromise on, but these are some of the bigger ones that came to mind. Post Reply

Example: If you dont like a man who uses profanity, but you met a really great person but your starting to notice he has a bit of a potty mouth, would you end it? How would you deal with that ? Yup ! Sure would and have in the past. Its a sign of attitude and possible aggressiion. People dont change over night unless it is a spiritual & mental renewing. I excuse myself from the situation by saying...I'm not enjoying the talk. I dont find it humorous nor attractive. It causes my spirit unease and I must be going now... There are many things that can be compromised. I'm not so sure right now what I would be willing to compromise on...xo Post Reply
