Author	Thread: Want vs. Need
Admin	Want vs. Need Posted : 14 Jul, 2019 05:43 PM It is a sad fact that close to 75% of marriages end in divorce within the first two years. While the reasons why are varied and quite complex, I believe two of the most common contributing factors is that we forget two things. First and foremost, we forget to ask God for his blessing BEFORE we commit, and secondly, we tend to look for what we want in a partner, instead of what we need, because while wants change with time, needs seldom do.

Alligator View Profile History	Want vs. Need Posted : 15 Jul, 2019 08:21 PM It's important when you are dating, if you get serious, you need to TALK about religion, politics, finances, do you want children, who is responsible for the majority of bills, etc. Don't just hold hands and kiss in LA-LA land. You must face many decisions in married life and the time to start is BEFORE you get married. Post Reply

And the second time, they are better at choosing. They make a wiser choice. Post Reply

Jayzeee View Profile History	Want vs. Need Posted : 17 Jul, 2019 03:26 AM I've never been married and only plan on doing it once, for me marriage is a lifelong commitment, not something you rush into our of desperation, loneliness or fear that you're in the last chance saloon, my parent's were married till we lost my dad 2 years ago, we lost my mum this year that is the way God intended marriage to be.

Moonlight7 View Profile History	Want vs. Need Posted : 3 Aug, 2019 08:45 AM Many women go into marriage with the idea of once only. However, abuse, adultrous affairs and mismanagement of money, substance abuse all these years apart a marriage, when the spouse doesn't seem help to correct the problem. God doesn't want people being subject to abuse just because they are married. Marriage is a partnership where you Love and respect each other. Otherwise, you are living in a Mesd. People are living in BAD marriags everywhere. Post Reply
