Inter-religion relationships - Christian and Catholic? I've read about Christian-Hindu and Christian-Muslim relationships in this forum but I need information and real experiences regarding Catholic-Christian relationships and the consequences/compromises of having such a relationship. Thanks =) Thanks for pointing that out. Where I'm from, Christians do belong to the Protestant sect.
Christian / Non Christian Relationships? I have been in a relationship with a strong Christian for 3 months. She has just decided that it can't work. Why would you let that happen in the first place? I have enjoyed every second with her and have enjoyed learning about her faith. I just can't understand why we can't be together when our love for each other is so strong. Shes hurting as much as me, but claims she has no choice. Everyone has a choice in my opnion. I can't bare to think that my chance of happiness is being taken away. I might except faith at some point, but I just don't know. I've never met anyone like her, but can't just pretend to be a believer when it would be a lie. Canm anyone help or provide guidance. (You can probably tell im not too good at the moment and very worried, but totally in love)
Does the bible offer any positive guidance or passages to Christian / Non Christian relationships? Surely God wants us to be happy and accepts that everyone is different (did he not make us that way) If we have found someone that we love, then why should we not be supported and encouraged?

Relationships... How far do you go in seeking christian companionship? I don't know any christians where i am, would love to find some, but not looking for love or marriage even though i am easily old enough, am game but want to wait. Don't want it too take over my life, still working on being christian which means i must be alert and seeking the Lord, holding fast till he comes. (am31.)
How to move on at the right pace. Christian relationships still involve human feelings and hearts of flesh!? So my last relationship was similar to the Challenger explosion. It took off with a flame that lit up the sky and everyone could see and what seemed like only minutes into the flight something went completely wrong and it exploded on take off hurting everyone on board. It was full of hope (my first real love) so all the joy and expectation of waiting patiently for the right one all my life combined with someone who felt exactly the same and I believe to be the best girl in the world. Suddenly crashed. I gave it some time (probably way too long) hoping it would work out again, but it was made pretty clear that there was no future in site for this relationship so I took this as closure. Now the problem I face is what to do. I dont want to run into another relationship still in love with someone else. I dont want the next person to have anything less than 100% of my love. I feel I still have alot to learn about women and how to treat them right but im not ready to date someone.
What role does sex play in a christian relationship? I'm a strong christian and with that I hold to the conviction that you shouldn't have sex before marriage. I was with a guy who was also christian and I thought I was going to marry, he ended up cheating on me with my "friend", dumping me and had sex with her like 2 weeks later. Do guys respect that conviction or is it just a negative side effect?
What would you teach teenage girls in a Christian youth group about dating relationships and marriage? They range from 13-17. My thinking is that they should just keep their focus on Jesus and not worry about dating or marriage until they know to some extent, God's plan for their life, so that they don't waste their time and get hurt by a boy/man who either doesn't care about them, or just isn't ready for a relationship like that. There is one guy in the youth group. He is 17 also. I talked this week about how we're all, who believe, brothers and sisters in Christ and that they should treat each other as such because they are young. They asked about relationships and now I have to teach a little more about that aspect and I'm not really sure how to do it. Your insights would be welcome as long as they're mature.
Why is the Catholic Church so totalitarian (desire to wield absolute control) in Christian relationships? Jesus is the Head of the Churches. God is the Father. The Apostles did their work by founding churches in numerous places & leaving us the scriptures (which contain the tradition of the Apostles). The first & second century believers adjusted to the absence of the Apostles and made sure that each church had numerous copies and translations of the scriptures. This whole control issue did not come up, until Rome lost it's status as the Capital of the Empire. Why was Catholic Missions so violent? Why did they use the turn or burn concept in trying to force the non-catholics they encountered outside the realms of the old Roman Empire to submit them?
age difference in relationships ... Christian perspective? secular U.S. has a whole range of ideas about what is acceptable in terms of age difference and dating ... "anything goes between two consenting adults" to magic formulas like "1/2 your age plus seven" to "thats creepy and soooo wrong" for even a small age gap. I generally don't care what most people thing, but I also do not like not to attract attention. most women my age just seem like a poor fit. simply put, it seems like they have a different view of marriage than I do. divorce, sex before marriage, lack of desire for family or committment, priorities centered on money on status ... not qualities I share or want in a wife. I am in my early 30's looking for a younger woman (18-25) who is mature but still fun and flexible, is a practicing Christian, and sees marriage as a beginning and not an end. by 18 you should have the foundations of your life figured out ... the rest is an adventure. Do practicing Chirsitans see my point or do they have the same age gap issues? you're right ... I am not excluding anybody ... just expanding my horizons and going outside of my "comfort zone" so to speak. nobody has just "come along" (just waiting patiently is not all bad advice but you sometimes have to be a bit more proactive)
What would a good GODLY CHRISTIAN woman look like? in life and in relationships? my opinion: A young woman's charm is her capital. She must invest it wisely rather than squander it. This requires that she make marriage and family her primary focus. Otherwise her romantic and maternal instincts will be frustrated, and she will be alone and unhappy. A young woman's beauty reflects her physical and spiritual innocence. Men find innocence very attractive; it balances them emotionally and spiritually. A woman who is hard and cynical is not attractive to men. A young woman must consecrate her innocence for the man whom she will eventually love and marry. Her thoughts should be focused on him and on her future children. She should prepare herself to be worthy to become a wife and mother.
Christians in relationships: Christian advice needed? Is it reasonable for Christians to save themselves for marriage even if they've been dating for 10 years? The reason they haven't gotten married is because they're working towards their future and are not financially ready. My man and I have been trying very hard to just wait. Sometimes we cross the line going a bit far. I'm very much in love with him that its hard not to wanna be close. I just feel like I'm a bad person in God's eyes and I'm probably going to hell. That is my biggest sin.
Christian values in relationships?!? Whilst I accept that my christian girlfriend wishes to wait to have sex until after marriage, I do not have to like it. How do I get her to enjoy a more relaxed relationship? We've been going out for about a year and so far I have put up with this ban, but I can't see the relationship developing without a greater degree of intimacy. eg even other activities other than sex would be an improvement? Is there any interpretation of the Bible that may support my point of view? Is there anything that could convince her that in your mid-twenties kissing and holding hands is not quite enough!? (We're both the SAME age.) Yes I believe, I am just alot more relaxed about these things than her. And yes, I should try to change someones opinion based on other views. If your view was that black people were evil - i shouldnt "let you be"! I should educate you and relax your view on the topic, so that you see that they are very nice people!! Same here - she has a view that needs to be educated and developed, I shouldnt just let her be!! I guess its all about moderate Christian views vs strict interpratation.
hindu and christian/catholic relationships...are they ok? is it alright if an indian christian girl dates a hindu guy? in highschool
What is off limits in a christian relationship as far as getting physical before marriage? My girlfriend is christian and we attend church together. She is not a virgin, has been with a couple guys, one was a "rape" and another one was with her boyfriend after that about 6-7 years ago. I am not a virgin either. Out dilemma is that when we get together we sometimes go too far in her opinion. Making out has gotten boring, so we moved up to tittie action. We also grind on each other sometimes with our clothes on. That's about it. We never finish though. This has happened a few times and she says she has gone way overboard. Has she? What can we do that is not off limits, personnaly I don't consider that sex and neither do most people. Our clothes are on and we don't do it long. I love her and don't want to lose her but I don't want to be stuck with just making out.
What is the Christian view on hypnotism and "empathic" feelings/relationships? I'm wondering if anyone out there know what the Biblical take on hypnotism is, if there is one? Additionally, does anyone know the Biblical view on empathic feelings? By empathic I mean the type of relationship/feelings two people share who are emotionally connected on some deep level where they can feel and know each others' feelings. For instance, one person knows when the other is in trouble or is feeling a certain way and it affects them to the point that they feel it and experience it, though they may be thousands of miles apart. I don't mean ESP or psychic abilities, but empathic abilities, being empathetic toward a certain person in particular. If you have any info, please give me some references such as scriptures. Thanks. Good points from the first 3 of you so far, thank you. Yes, I've heard of the empathic thing being most common in twins and mothers/kids that sort of thing. One thing I failed to mention earlier is that would hypnosis-actually being hypnotized in order to change feelings or attitude or whatever the case; would that be considered giving up your free will that God gives us in the sense that you are allowing another person to gain control of your mind and you essentially are forefiting your own thoughts and self control? At least how I've seen it, people can lose all control and will do whatever the hypnotist tells them to.

Christian teens and relationships....? is it better to have a boyfriend that isn't a christian, and lives a negative life, and try to help him get straightened out, or just let go of him and go for another boy that likes you, and is a good christian and has the same values and faith as you...?
Can a Christian and a Non Christian Relationship/Marriage Survive? Im a Christian but it seems that i cant actualy find another Christian that ive fell head over heels in love with as much as i really would prefer to. It seems that the girls that i do fall in love with just happen to be the Non Believers. Ive been in a few relationships but just not found the right girl for me yet.

Why is God interested in making myself a Christian aware of the Jewish Plight throughout history? Over and over God throughout my Christian relationship with him has taught me about Jewish culture, traditions, custom, food, holidays, Holy days. Wars, lately the French revolution, the spanish inquisition. Anybody know or been down this road? I believe a synagogue visit is in our near future.

Evangelical Christian biblical reference on relationships? Can you cite some biblical references specifically for why God would cause you to go through periods of solitude? I am struggling with maintaining some relationships at church and wondering if God is purposefully putting me by myself so that I am totally reliant on Him.
Are Christian women any different when it comes to committed relationships? Every relationship that I have ever been in has gone badly… the only common threads between them have been that they were either on the fence or non-Christians and in each case they all cheated or broke up with me to cheat. I myself have never cheated, almost never drink, don’t use drugs, and have always respected women and I try to use Jesus as the role model for my life. Now that I have become more committed in my walk with the lord all I seem to see is broken women that don’t know how to truly love. I want so badly to have a family of my own and I need to know if there are any truly strong spirit filled women left in the world.
How to be in a Christian relationship? I've never been in a Christian relationship, I've always just jumped into things... ya know what i mean? Anyway how do I be in relationship based on God ?
A good website with christian based articles on relationships..? I have found that my boyfriend of 6 years and I have gotten in to a pattern of selfishness and we've discussed how we need to make sure God is a bigger part of our mutual relationship (we both have our personal relationships with him)- but I feel we also need to recognize him more in our relationship with each other. We have both hit a rough spot in our personal lives- loss of job, dissapointment in other areas-- and I know I need to be turning to God for support, but at hte same time, I am becoming fixated on why I feel my boyfriend is not willingly supportive- I know i don't need to seek reassurance from my boyfriend, I just feel he should be lovingly supportive. Enough of that background- Does anyone know of any websites with articles about bringing God into personal/romantic relationships- about remembering how to treat one another, etc. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
How can I get my dog to engage in more Christian-like behavior? I am very concerned about my labrador's soul. He is always sniffing other dog's butts (which is both disgusting, and embarrassing). He's not monogomous. He has "special relationships" with other male dogs. What can I do to make him a monogomous, behaved, and more Christian-like dog? Serious answers only please. Thanks!
Are monogamous relationships possible within the Christian orientation? No woman I have ever dated/related/married has been monogamous or faithful within the relationship. Many of my male & female friends have undergone tremendous betrayals by the women/men in their lives. In fact, with the exception of a few friends (all happily married) that I know, I am the only person I know who has never had a platonic/sexual 'affair' while in a loving relationship with someone of the opposite sex. Anyone else out there practice what they preach in this area? And if so, how do you deal with feeling like you're in the minority?
What is not permitted in a christian sexual relationship? What support is there that doggy style is not allowed? What support is there for the opinion that enjoyment of sex is not permitted? Wow. Some of you have a deep-seated hatred of God. Who says you can't "waste" your seed? What about facials?
Do Christian teens in USA have sex before marriage or have illicit relationships ? what about Christian teens in Canada or Europe ?
How does a Christian show commitment in a relationship? If Christians don't have sex or live together, how do they show commitment in a relationship with someone who is not Christian where they would be taken seriously? That they seriously want to date and are in it for the long haul? Reminder: This is for a Christian in a relationship with a non-Christian. Would the non-Christian be convinced if you did these things? What would keep them from blowing you off?
As a teenage girl, what is a good Christian relationship? I already know that there should be no sex before marriage. And i'm trying to rise above all people who say teenagers cannot make it in their relationship. Me (16) and my boyfriend (17) both know that Christ gave up his life for us. And even if we end up in separate ways, we know that God has the best planned out for us. But as a teenage girl, not married.. it's really hard to be this kind of relationship. However i am smart enough to realize that God's way is the best way, and his way is the only way that will last. I love this dude to death, and i'm trying to be the best girlfriend.. in his eyes and God's. oh and please Christians only. I don't give a shi t about what you "Christian haters" got to say thank you very much. hahaha buddism that make me chuckle. But to add to this, we are in a interracial relationship, and it is really hard for me especially because my family will not accept him. Someone said a man has to be strong, strong willed in God's words. He needs to listen to God, and follow his commands. Not many guys are like this, not many guys can make me feel like this so i do not intend on finding someone different unless God tells me to. He brings me closer to God so that's why i'm gonna stick with him forever
My Christian relationship with my girlfriend? All I need to know is how far are people in a Christian relationship with each other allowed to go before marriage. Obviously I will never have sex with my girlfriend before marriage b/c I love God and her too much to do that. Can someone please help me out with this?
