would you?
Posted : 29 Oct, 2012 08:23 AM

Ms Marvel got me wondering about a question of my own:

would you marry some one you did not necessarly love, just because people say he/she would be good match-husband/wife?

I don't mean you hate the person, just would you marry some one you don't have a "burning" love for, just because they would make a good spouse?

Thanks for answers. McCubed, was married twice. now divorced. (was'nt real Christian in my choices, one was abusive, other was pretty good husband, until bypolar disease made him violent)

I guess I like "Twilight" too much; I was thinking more kinda "Edward vs Jacob" Jacob would have been a "better" choice, but Bella loved Edward.

You want "burning" love? Hey, no problem - I've got matches!



Of course, I'm also up for a good curry if you prefer that type of burning...

TBK & GUD, Why not offer some reassurance through love rather than poking fun?



Agape, friendship and physical attraction. :applause:

Why always criticize others?

"TBK & GUD, Why not offer some reassurance through love rather than poking fun?"



"Having said that, I haven't read what happened to you. I certainly sympathize if someone is making threats against you. That's not a very Godly thing to do. I think you should just take a step back and think a little more rationally about it though and not just live in fear of everyone. Remember, God is in control. That is freeing, to me at least."

No. I have talked to a lot of Christian men, and it hasn't always worked out. Just because we both are a good Christian man and woman doesn't mean we automatically should belong together. I think both people still need to be physically attracted to one another.

Yea the term (good) christian men and women. Is relaitive...



We all have differing opinions to what that looks like. In reality it matters if a relationship works or not. I married my first wife thinking if I married a christian lady and were attracted to eachother we could make the relationship work.



A relationship either works from the beginning or it does not. A relationship that does not work even with well intended christians leads to frustration on a consistant basis.



I can attest to a working relationship. What it took for both of us was to get beyond both our prejudice towrd the type of the other.



She had prejudice against american divorced men and I had prejudice against any type of woman who physically was not idealy what i wanted.



I never imagined that India would be the location to find the woman I love with all my heart and find a connection beyond the physical state of being.



Open your heart to any option God would have for you in the body of Christ and He will direct your paths in His timing.

Well, good to me would be more so defined as a Christian that lives like a Christian. Practicing what they preach (ie. believe in) so to speak.

Not getting into the semantics of the word burring, my short answer is no. The way that I read the question was whether or not I would marry someone just because they could make someone a good husband. I don't want a someone, I want that person that makes me smile, I can talk to for hours, that I wake up and go to sleep thinking about, that when something good or bad happens, they are the first person I want to call, etc. The fact that they are a great Christain guy with a decent job isn't enough for me.
