Good point, it makes sense to say, think before you do LOL

There is a big difference between these two ideas. The church has always endorsed the latter...
God bless,

no but seriously ur extreamly right.. ;D
Well I think we need to remember a few things...
The first is why do we marry in the first place?
The second is why are we actually here?
It is undeniable that God has a plan for us but marriage was created by God so that we could be saved. We might put procreation before salvation but I think its more important to be spiritually full so that one can be fit to procreate so salvation should rightfully come first.
God's plan is always one that allows us free choice but I don't think we can ever excel past God's plan, I think God's plan is one that meets our absolute potetntial and that has to be the case in marriage.
I mean when we say things like seeking God's guidance, how far does that extend? To just finding a compatable person? To finding the best person? To finding just an okay person?
God bless,

First I know that maybe many of the memebers have mentioned this already but i will just tell you what i think is right...it is also so simple, your issue is actually very important so the right answer to your question would be that marriage should be accompained with love to be a successful marriage and to have a good relationship with GOD but that doesn't happen everytime. so if you marry a person that you didn't love before marriage..it should be okay because nothing happens to you without GOD's permission so GOD allowed this marriage to take place because he knows it is going to be great later on and you have to do your part. be nice and kind to your life partner, because both of you are one by the time of your marriage...and love will grow gradually by knowing the other person and it will be a much more mature love than the one before marriage. it's all about GOD, if you ask for his help and let him be in your life before and after marriage you will have a very successfull life until the end.
May GOD be with you and support you and lead you in the right way.
Everytime i look @ her and her husband it's like the hugest comfort in the world for me because this is someone who 6yrs ago would have never married let alone married an egy. But God does have a plan for u. He knows what we're like. If you know ur never gonna last with a person u hardly kno or love then God won't let u go through with it. He will show u what's right and what's wrong, he'll always talk to u, u always have to listen tho because he will never tell u YES or NO when it comes to making a decision, he gave us that free will a long time ago.
You can get married 10yrs from now to a person right under ur nose or to a person u hate right now, or to a person u still havent met...but no matter what u just have to train urself to shut off all the noise in ur head and let God take care of the rest. Unless ur choosing who to marry tomorrow, there's no reason to plan ahead. Its so much easier said than done, but thats y i train myself to just let go. I mean u spend ur whole life worrying about what might happen to find out that the exact opposite took place. If u love with a pure heart, I'm sure God will provide u with a pure heart to love ;)
GOD BLESS ALL! :-*
GOD be with you!
God be with you and lead you in the right way.
