  • can someone please answer this?
  • Hey bigeee,

    Yeah if you ask abouna to find you a partner, he could help you. But be careful cause I hear plenty of stories about such marriages.  :D
  • lmao really pana?
  • lol... imagine setting up blind dates
  • sorry, no time now as 1/2 asleep, but God really knows best, He is better than abouna  ;)
    so, leave it in His hands, go to church, attend extra meetings, make friends, and you will come into contact with other single people in a group environment, which, i.m.o. is the best way to meet people, you are all each other's chaperones. i was friends with my husband before i loved him specially. sometimes (not always) if u are meeting people with a view to having a relationship, it puts a lot of stress on it.
    if you are ready to do anything for God, He will lead you forward, this includes your job, study, marriage, singleness, helping the old neighbours in their garden etc, there are lots of good things He has for you, not just marriage.
  • its better if you get no help from anyone because shes going to be your wife not theirs and your the only person who knows you.  :)

  • bigee,  abouna is one of the best people who can help you find your soulmate. I do not know anyone better.abouna will not only look into outer beauty but will also consider everything else about the person. The thing is,the person that Abouna would help you find is someone whose church history he knows.If the church history is right, and yours will match it eversince you embraced the Lord as your saviour,I do no think things would go wrong in your future. Talk about thuis stuff with abouna and see what he says.
    I hope you have finally emerged victorious over the sufferings that was caused  by the love of your ex-girl.

    God Bless.

    lol... imagine setting up blind dates


    never mind blind dates, in egypt they're still doing blind marriages for god's sake!

  • I think it's kind of weird for people to go around "looking" for a potential spouse...i think it should just happen. Well that's my personal opinion anyway. Some advice I heard being given to guys who want to get married are to hang out with a group of friends, both guys and girls, in a Christian way of course, and pray that God will choose the right girl for him. And sometimes it is when you least expect things that they happen. God has His ways of showing us His will, the best thing is to always ask for His guidance before making any decision. By the way, this advice is given to girls too, just in the arab culture it's mostly the guy who looks and a girl who gets found lol!! But im not speaking from experience, this is just stuff I hear on shows like "Baet 3al Sakhr" with Anba Paula (on the coptic channel CTV) and from elders like parents and priests.
