He actually accepted his calling 1 month after we started courting. Since I've &nbsp;known him I knew he had some kind of calling on his life but I was not originally up for dating/marrying a minister. I was raised in church and have seen the time and dedication that is put into ministry. I know how much ministers/pastors have to put others needs before their families' needs at times in order to do the work of the Lord.</p> <p>However, the longer we are together the more&nbsp;I feel that I wiill and want to do my best about doing what I can to serve along side him for God. I love this man and I love his pure heart of praise. When he Praises God its like the most attractive thing he could ever do. Its something about a man casting all his cares to the side just letting God have his way in his life.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/christian-girls-how-did-you-decide-how-far/page/2#post-481674 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:27:40 +0000 Carebear0613 481674@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p><em>@ </em><a href="http://boards.weddingbee.com/profile/br1tsh1n1ngstar">Br1tSh1n1ngSta<em>r</em></a>&nbsp;Thanks for saying that! I know it will be worth the wait.</p> <p>I know at times it gets hard for all&nbsp;of us Christian Ladies. But the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) will definitely tap on your shoulder from time to time.&nbsp;Remember God's spirit will not dwell in an unclean temple. Not saying if you do things before your married your&nbsp;unclean (not trying to judge) but I am saying that you lose that "little voice" inside telling you what you should and should not do.</p> <p>In the bible it reads in &nbsp;<strong><a href="/passage/?search=1 Corinthians+7:1&amp;version=KJV">1 Corinthians 7:1</a>-3</strong><strong>"No</strong>w concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a <strong>man</strong> <strong>no</strong>t to <strong>touch</strong> a <strong>woman.&nbsp;</strong>Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.&nbsp;&nbsp;3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband". I hope this helps someone...I have to remind myself from time to time but "I can do all things thru Christ that Stregthens me".</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/share-your-prayer-requests#post-481578 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:03:39 +0000 Carebear0613 481578@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hi Ladies! Love&nbsp; this thread! God is truly the center of my and my BF's life! He and I are planning on getting engaged before the end of the year and I just want you to pray that it goes smoothly and that our marriage will be blessed and highly favored! Also, since he is a minister please pray that I will not hinder his ministry in anyway and that God will bless our finances so we may prepare adequately for this next phase in our life!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/this-is-a-personal-question-about-waiting-until-you-are-married#post-477773 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:10:09 +0000 ToniPhil2010 477773@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My FI and I are both each others' firsts so first thing is first:</p> <p>1. Definately talk about birth control.&nbsp; This is very important.&nbsp; You don't want to have a child until you both are ready.&nbsp; Condoms, pills etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. Keep the lines of communication open.</p> <p>3. Take it slow.&nbsp; Never underestimate the power of foreplay.&nbsp; If you're each other's first than going for straight sex right away is a bad idea.&nbsp; You may find that you are happy with just making out for an entire night, or just exploring each other's bodies before you get to the act.</p> <p>4. Relax about your own narrowness.&nbsp; Everyone is different, but inevitably people are designed over time to fit together. Lubrication is one way to go.&nbsp; But if you don't rush you'll get there on your own.&nbsp; The more nervous you get about it, the more uncomfortable you'll be.</p> <p>5. After awhile, you'll go through a period where you to are pretty much inseparable.&nbsp; It's a great thing to happen on your honeymoon.</p> <p>6.&nbsp; One note: if you have a lot of hair down there, and your FI is used to looking at girls in magazines, consider waxing/shaving.&nbsp;</p> <p>From a purely hygenic standpoint, the less hair you have down there the easier it is to keep clean.</p> <p>Sorry if it is too much information ::(</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/this-is-a-personal-question-about-waiting-until-you-are-married#post-476989 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:09:38 +0000 sulaii211 476989@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Ok, well, I didn't wait. But I did lose my virginity, so maybe I can lend some advice to any others waiting and reading this post.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lube (and as the gay men have taught me, silicone is waaaaay better than water-based,) &nbsp;&nbsp;is great, but there is no&nbsp;better lube than the natural kind- so make sure you take your time.</p> <p>TMI warning: it's not just about getting wet as it is relaxing the muscles down there so take the time to cuddle, finger, oral, etc. (Sorry, this topic means you have to get down an' dirty.) Take your time to get to know each other's bodies- and another poster had a great idea about orgasming before intercourse, you will be so much more relaxed by then.</p> <p>Be mentally prepared for him either to last two seconds, or forever.</p> <p>Personally, I wouldn't start out on top. You have deeper penetration that way- (which is great later on, but not for your first night,) good ol' missionary will give him the ahem, leverage he needs, but that doesn't mean you don't have control- wrap your legs around his waist- you can adjust to see how far to go in, etc.</p> <p>And for you virgins, have&nbsp;you thought about birth-control? Or not? Condoms are, eh. But if you must, I&nbsp;HIGHLY recommend Trojan Ecstasy, it's easy for him to put on, and it's pleasurable for her as well. The pill is great, but I would take that a few months before your wedding so you can get used to it. Nuva Ring is great, but not for those on the smaller side- and it could be awkward for hymens.</p> <p>Don't mean to offend anyone, I just feel being frank will give you the most info. Also, if anyone has these kinds of questions and you don't want to post, please PM me. Part of my job is education in these matters, and everyone should have access to this info.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/christian-contemporary-music-for-ceremony-song-ideas#post-465127 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:38:28 +0000 wmlawgirl 465127@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>It is kind of old school but I love "I will be Here" by Stephen Curtis Chapman.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/help-advice-for-non-religious-girl-marrying-into-christian-family#post-464463 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:34:48 +0000 JeniRae 464463@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>This was the scripture we (non-religious) compromised on from the list given to us by our pastor. It was the least "Bible-ly" (I guess that would be Biblical?) and sounded to us like a guide to a good life. Good luck, it sounds like you're on the right track!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Romans 12:9-18 (New Living Translation)</p> <p>Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them.</p> <p>Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.</p> <p>Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other</p> <p>Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.</p> <p>Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.</p> <p>When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.</p> <p>Bless those who persecute you. Don't curse them; pray that God will bless them.</p> <p>Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep.</p> <p>Live in harmony with each other. Don't be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don't think you know it all!</p> <p>Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
