"Christian Couples: Tips for Treating Your Mate Right (and Not Just on Valentine’s Day)"

"With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, my original intention was to write an article about how Christian men and women can treat their mates right on this day we celebrate soul mates. But as I sat down and thought about it, I realized that making love last has really very little to do with how you treat your mate on February 14th and much more to do with how you treat him or her the other 364.

Because let’s face it, all but the most pathetic of partners can throw down $3.99 for one of those drugstore, foil-wrapped roses you toss in your basket as you pay for toothpaste and toe-nail clippers. And all but the most selfish of sweethearts can even spring for a Valentine’s Day dinner date.

But in order to enjoy a truly happy, healthy, fulfilling relationship, it’s how we treat our partners all the other days that really matters. It’s how we show up, support, and make sacrifices day in and day out that makes him or her want to be with us…not because they want someone to share their space and time with, but because we make their life easier, more joyful, more peaceful, and more meaningful."

As a Christian Man or Woman, When Should You Walk Away from a Relationship?

I was in a five year relationship and I really thought we were going to get married. Towards the end of the realtionship I will never forget what I did.One day I was at his house and out of the blue a little voice said "Leave Now" and I was sleeping, he was laying next to me, and I kept hearing "Leave", "Leave", I try to ignore the voice but it wouldn't go away so, I got up and told him I'm leaving not knowing that was the last time I would be at his house. I went home and I knew in my heart and spirit that it was over, the next day I called him and told him we should end the relationship and he agreed but still wanting to be together until the holidays were over, which I agreed to stay with him until then. I knew it wasn't me who had made this decision it was God, I felt that it was an impulse move a move that I couldn't do by myself God lead me to do it. At that moment I never felt so sure of decision in my life. This man was my bestfriend I had spent five years with him. For the next 6 months I endured a lot of pain for the loss of my relationship with him, I couldn't see myself with anyone else it was extremly difficult. But looking back at the experience I am trully grateful to God for going through that experience it taught me to always trust him no matter what, God's got my back and he wants the best for me, he knew that I would have stayed, God said no more Ayesha the best is yet to come. I am so happy that I listen to God's voice and I left when I was suppose to leave. So if you are in a relationship please make sure if hear God telling you to do something don't ignore it "Just Do It". God bless!!!!!

"Christian Dating Online: Keeping the Faith after Falling for a Fake Profile"

This article is very important, I hope it will encourage anyone who has delt with someone who had a fake profile."“I believe that this is a great site. However, due to the fact that I have already met a complete ‘nut,’ I will probably no longer use it. It was my first site and will likely be my last. It’s so unfortunate that such a brilliant idea (bringing Christian singles together) has is being tainted by satan’s little helpers. I got an ‘I love you’ after 3 emails…After praying about even communicating with him via email, God instructed me to google his screen name and he is everywhere!!! He is on every site there is…this guy is really crazy!”



"Unfortunately, the passage above was written by a wonderful woman whose confidence in Internet dating was crushed by the bad behavior of an online fraud. And while I would like to say that he is the only one of his kind, this would be untrue. “Fake profiles”—as they are generally referred to—are everywhere, but they represent a small percentage of the population. And the problem is if you let the fact that some people will present themselves fraudulently deter you from using online dating and friendship sites, you are missing out on an opportunity to meet the many more singles who are honest…and honestly looking to meet someone."



Online fakes and frauds: Why?



"Asking why people post fake profiles or pretend to be someone else is like asking why people lie or cheat on their taxes. People are not perfect, and there will always be some dishonest among us. Maybe some present themselves untruthfully because of benign reasons, like they feel if they are honest, no one will want them. Others have more malevolent motives like scamming singles for money. While some are just mean-spirited in that they derive pleasure from manipulating the emotions of those they meet in cyberspace."



"The point is it doesn’t matter why they display deceit. We need to remember that this is nothing new; it’s part of life…and we’re the ones letting them deter us from taking advantage of something that has helped a lot of singles find someone special. So we’re the ones who should stop giving them the right to ruin our chances for love!" Please continue reading at www.blackchristiandatingadvice.com
