Since the Bible doesn't deal directly with this subject, I can only give you the benefit of my experience. This Sep 04, my wife and I will be celebrating 29 years of marriage, our first and only marriage for both of us. We've both had our share of ups and downs, with each other and with our boys. We were kinda young, she at 17 and me at 21 when we got married. And if I had to live my life to live over, I wouldn't change a thing. You see, I was headed for a life of sin and disobedience to God in spite of my upbringing, as I was brought up in a christian home. My wife was the best person in the world for me, as she has the strong personality needed to keep me straight and out of trouble. She doesn't hesitate to remind me of that upbringing and my responsibility to my Lord. We talk, pray and go to worship together at the same congregation. I say that because I can't possibly imagine a person having a good, solid relationship with God, our Father and NOT having an equally good solid relationship in the same faith with his/her spouse. In my opinion, it would be impossible to be truly happy in such a situation. But it's difficult to communicate that to a young person. I see in your profile that you're 17 years old and you seem to be unusally mature to be participating and posting this much on the Forum. So I can only make this recommendation. Do yourself a favor and promise God that you will do everything in your power to marry a christian lady and I emphasize "lady" as she should act, think and behave as a christian lady should. The best way to make certain you marry a christian is to date only christians. BUT if you meet someone special and decide she's for you and then discover she's not a christian, sure you can always convert her. But, quite often it doesn't happen quite that easy. Again, do yourself a favor and promise God, IF you do date a young lady who's not a christian, get her in God's Family BEFORE you marry her. Because after you marry her, it needs to be with the attitude it's for life. Remember, a lifetime of happiness is at stake. AND it could be possible as Solomon found out that an ungodly person just might draw you away from God forever. It's not worth the risk to do otherwise, but that's my recommendation. God bless. --Rowdy |

I apologize for the oversight. It's hard to believe that I missed that; so hard, I went back to your profile to see for myself. Anyway, I appreciate your kindness and your forgiveness. It's wonderful that you knew to take this advice in the spirit with which it was intended for it certainly does apply to all christians, regardless of your sex. I'm glad your fiance is a christian. Believe me, if only more young people (like my son) would believe their parents, things in your life will be so much better, between you two AND your children. Of course, it will help if both of you get some marital counseling AND parental counseling. It helps to make certain that you both talk about all the important things in your lives like what kind of parents do you want to be. Where do you both want to live? Do you both want to travel or stay close to your parents? There's absolutely no substitute for discussing ALL of these important issues to both of you BEFORE you get married. God bless you, dear lady. --Rowdy |
