The " L" word.

Ladies when do you think it`s proper for your guy to tell you he loves you? Before or after your married or atleast engaged?

I`ve heard some preachers say it`s not right to say "I love you," till after marriage.

Well, I wouldn't say "yes" to someone who didn't love me, so I supposed that he'd well to express his love prior to proposing.

Doesn't God tell us He loves us everyday?! We haven't yet gotten to the marriage of the Lamb...

I have to say yes to all. Haha



I think that for every person is different and I think it should be discussed with the person your dating. I think the biggest thing is to make sure it is a road you want to go down because from personal experience once you go down that one it is difficult to recover from it the relationship doesn't work out.

I don�t think there really is point where a guy should or should not tell a woman that he loves her. If he loves her, he loves her, and nothing can change that. The big question is, does he understand what true love is.

I think the reasoning to wait to say "it" till after marriage is to make sure it`s love and not lust.

Some guys might say it in order to woo her to "get something."

No christian man should be trying to "get something" in the first place.



So it shouldn't be an issue.

I have no intention of telling a woman I love her if I don't intend to marry her. Does that mean that I'm going to wait to tell her I love her til I propose? Not at all. But if I'm not ready to marry her, telling her I love her could give her the wrong idea where the relationship is and where it's headed.

I think there's different levels of love. For instance, I loved my fraternity brothers and told them so. This is the same sort of love that David shared with Jonathan. I think a man and a woman can share that same sort of love through friendship and it can be expressed that way as long as both parties clearly know what is meant.

However, I think in a dating/marriage relationship, telling the other person you love them clearly has a different connotation. When it is said/heard, it has a much more profound meaning and so it shouldn't be taken lightly. As such, if a guy is going to use it in that context, he better know what he's doing. I know I don't plan on telling a girl I love her in that context until I am positive that I mean it in that context.

If it's just a lust, I don't think a man of God would propose to a woman of God. And how can the woman be sure that if the man really loves her if he didn't say it loud? Yes we can read signs but there are still possibilities of misunderstandings if it is not declared, esp on I love you or I love you not. Don't leave the woman you love wondering whether you love her or not.
