I just had one of those moments when it become crystal clear why God tells us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers in marriage. I won't go into detail, but it's just so clear to me that having a spouse that is on the same page spiritually speaking is such a HUGE foundation for a happy and successful marriage.
Which is why, as much as I want to get married and have kids, I am SO not in a hurry to take that area of my life out of God's hands! Seriously, after the day I have had I can't think of a better place for it!!
I Corinthians 6:14-15
"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?"
Song of Solomon 2:7
"I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases."

Hi Andrea,
Wish I could contact you privately. I am a married (19 years) member of UCG (baptized in 1983), mother of 3 & grandmother of 2... that's in reference to the older women teaching the younger... I just wanted to make you aware that it's great that you put info on your site about birth control for married couples from a Christian perspective (as some can harm a developing fetus etc.) however, you may not have been aware that this same website contains graphic references to "toys" etc. & other very intimate things & what to use them for & that you might not have realized that most of them are made/sold by same companies that also make pornography. (See UCG's "Breaking Free Journal" as there may be more info there). Please know that NO intention of offending you is coming from me here to you; just a "heads up" and sure with the graphic nature of that site you realize it could be a stumbling block for brethren, especially single young men).
Sincerely, "Sybil"
ACK!!! Thank you SOOOO much Sybil!!! I had no idea about the other links on that website! It such good information, but you are totally right!! I will try to find someway to share the information, but without noting the website.
Thank you SOOOO MUCH!! I added my e-mail address to my profile.

Just wanted to share something:
I don't know if you've already done this, but if you look up the word 'WILL' in Strong's Concordance (especially Psalms), you will find a very encouraging and uplifting Bible Study about the ways God will and has promised those who strive to follow him! The other part is to look up the things we will/should do in return! Very powerful and edifying! Hope this helps! :)
