Christiancowboy1 View Profile History	Godly Marriage Starting Point Posted : 21 Jun, 2010 05:38 AM This post and my heart go out to all of you here who have hopes of a Godly marriage someday. I too have always had those hopes and dreams, but I made many mistakes because I took actions before having knowledge. I tried to have Godly relationship and marriage without knowing how to. What I am saying is you can not expect a Godly relationship and marriage if you follow worldly ways. It�s like your own careers. You do not and are just not jumping into the job. You first had to go to school to learn about it and gain the knowledge how to. The same holds true with a Godly marriage. If you desire it to be of God you must first learn all about the plan he has set up for a marriage in him. Starting with your own relationship with him and who he created you to be. You must learn who he created you to be and the direction you are going in him. Like your faith, your gifts in him. You learn what it means to be equally yoked. Once you realize these things and start digging and asking him to show you. He will guide you into many depths. Untill you gain knowledge do not enter into anything. Let the Lord prove all things and make all things clear first. To sum this up. You can not expect to have a Godly marriage by following worldly ways. Worldly ways receive their rewards of worldly failed marriages. God ways of learning his ways, following them, will bless you with Godly lasting marriage. Gods Continued Blessings And Love, David Post Reply

It's amazing that there are many of us who have tried without God and learned the deception and share to help others, but we don't heed those with the experience of doing it wrong. Many times, we have to learn our own way... the truth, the "hard" way... much, much, too late in life. Thanks for sharing your heart and the truth. ~ GraceMae Post Reply

But still the Lord can use use no matter our own thinking on too late. It is my own failures and not understanding that he uses to lead me to write and share in hopes that just one may be touched. Too I know that he leads me to just plant the seeds and then allow him to grow them in time. Post Reply
View Profile History	Godly Marriage Starting Point Posted : 23 Jun, 2010 08:39 PM I appreciate your heart here, cowboy. I know that it's a lack of instruction & know-how that hurts a LOT of relationships & out of fear people settle for them anyway & wind up in scary & ungodly relationships. I want every thing in my life to line up with God's plan for me and b/c I've made mistakes, I learned that God give His best to those who leave the choice with Him. I know I can pick a man out of a thousand and hope for the best, but I acknowledge that my wisdom is worthless and troublesome compared to the wonderful dreams that my Father dreamed for me from the foundation of the world. And-because I trust His love over mine, I am happy to let Him show me how well He knows how to please me by sending His man in His time. In the meantime, I wait and while I wait, I study to learn about men and understand what he will need from me and how to become that -- . At some point, God will see when I can no longer learn about relationship without being in one and send His provision for me. It's all a lesson in patience, trusting Him and following -instead of getting anxious and trying to make things happen. Post Reply
