    This video, came right on top. Relationship, is the trial period before the commitment. They are totally, golden months. God confirms so much. Thanks pastor

    this is such an important truth. Especially when it comes to really being up-front and discussing everything together before marriage.

    Me and my girlfriend decided to get married but her Christian family doesn't want us to get married because we don't have a house & lot, stable job, etc. We have a plan to start a business together after getting married and submitted it to God but her parents rejects our plan and her mother said it is worthless and suddenly after my girlfriend explain our side, they decided to allow us to get married if we hit 25th of age and I feel discouraged because we will have to wait another 4 years for them to allow us. We're both 20 years old and feel hopeless. Filipino culture is very high standard when it comes to this matter even though they're the leaders of our church. Last Sunday service I didn't attend because I feel ashamed.

      Siguro bro, kailangan mo din maging stable at the least, kasi foolishness din naman yung wala ka mapakain sa wife to be pero pipilitin mo magpakasal.
      Maghanap ka ng stable Job, at magipon, most importantly, ipag-pray mo lahat ng bagay, si God ang magdidikta ng lahat, hindi feelings natin.

    My son is courting a girl that to my understanding hasn't been a church goer. My son started asking her to come to church with us and everytime she is asked she attends. I have asked him why she hasn't attended church in the past and he said going to church is not her cup of tea. She says Grace with us at meals and attends church when ever asked, I just don't think she is comfortable in the church setting for whatever reason. She has said she will always support him in his faith and attend church with him. Could this be a problem?

      michelle rowse, I would say, on what little authority I have that this is not good sister. The reason being, is that Paul says not to be unequally yoked in Scripture. Now, I think that one of the possible reasons that Paul says this is because of the temptation to idolize a marriage. If in there relationship, your son is Focused on the Lord, and she is focus on your son; they will influence one another. This could be an issue because it seems that most of these circumstances end with Christ no longer being the center. I will also say, that I cannot imagine her “encouraging his faith” for to long, if church is not her “cup of tea”. I have prayed for you in this moment. I hope all is well.
      Merry Christmas.

      Hi Michelle, I completely agree with the response above. Have you or your son had any type of discussion with her specifically on her relationship with Jesus? Find ways that you (or your son) can explore her foundation in casual conversation on topics that aren’t necessarily spiritual. While going to church is very important, it may not be the end all be all for their relationship. But the fact that she is going to “support” him rather than her own desire and fire is a red flag that they are unequally yoked. :( Praying for wisdom in the situation.

      So, I decided to invite her mother(who always drops her off at church) to come to church with us. Her mother has come every Sunday since even when we couldn't attend. Her mother has even brought her younger daughter with them. I think they are just exceedingly shy. Her mother has told me that she has started a program of reading bible passages a day to complete it in a year. I think they just needed someone to reach out to them.

      There in nothing better than loving our local brothers and sisters! Church membership is of utmost importance. Hopefully you can walk through scripture together?
      Blessings!

      Saskatoon Berry 1 Corinthians 7:14 “For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.” I see this comment is old but nonetheless this is the answer the people above should’ve gave. Peace be with you and your family in the name of Yeshua

    I’m doubting her commitment as a Christian.

      It's sad how much condemnation there is in the body.
      It's sad how few Christian men are actually husbands - patiently tending, watering, cultivating and nurturing - and how many are wolves/ opportunists looking for someone who's readymade so they can prowl.

      Sorry, I am fully convinced that age means nothing at all. I have seen women at 18 ready for marriage and I have seen 30 year olds who are still not ready. What matters is does the person desire to be married.

      @@joerivera8720 statistically - it is more likely they will divorce - throw in immaturity,and a kid or 2 at or before 19 , bill's, job stress. ( what kinda job do have at 18 they'll ppl be living in a house with one of couples parents ) not much of a way to leave and cleave - yea there are some outlier's that make it roughly 5 out of 100 but the odds are not good.

      @@Truthspeakeralways well I'm sorry to say that's why the odds are low because they usually end up in divorce .
      Back 2,000 years when your life expectancy was only about 35 you got married young And you weren't with that person for 60 years.
      I got married at 22 and now I look back at it now I know I wasn't mature enough to be married.
      how we made it I don't know, And at least 10 years of that marriage was absolutely miserable for both of us. And I've been married for 37 years.

      When was this back in 1952 ? I think the only ones that think 18-year-old girls are ready for marriage are the ones pursuing them .
      Probably some 30 to 35-year-old guys. And mind you girls not women.
