		<description>Hi Ray, I am sorry to hear that your wife has created such pain and turmoil in your life.  I would like to warn you that while the completion of your divorce my change some of the tension in your life it won&#039;t bring peace.  Most people whom I have talked to after divorce have said that things change but if anything become more complicated.  Let me suggest that if you are lacking peace in your life instead of looking for it to come from your circumstances, look to Jesus who promises &quot;Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.&quot; (Matthew 11:28)  He transforms us from the inside out so that the peace He gives comes from Him and is there whether we have really good or crappy circumstances.  If you want to know more about that kind of peace that transcends our circumstances, why don&#039;t you talk to one of our online mentors?  You can find a Mentor Request Form at http://powertochange.com/discover/talk-to-a-mentor</description>

		<description>Jessica,

I cannot allow myself to venture into the territory you have opened up.  I know in your mind you believe that it will help.  But if its not from the mind and word of God, its surely to lead to death, destruction and heatache.  I am no saint, I have been many places, seen many things and yes tried to please myself by all means.  Only to fall in heart and mind and realize my sinfulness and how I need to wait and be obedient to God.  I want a loving and gentle relationship with a man, not just any man but a man that will be my husband, a man that is my husband, when the time comes.  

I do not want my mind ravaged by the worlds attempt at pleasure.  As a Christian woman, I know that God has given me all the tools I need to enjoy a healthy and complete marriage.  Love and passion sometimes have nothing to do with flesh.  Flesh and sex are benefits of marriage but when they are warped, you get nothing out it.  I&quot;m 45 years old and been married once before and now a widow its been 10 years and I wait.  Sometimes not easily but always returning to my Lord for comfort and now a better understanding of the fact that he is preparing me for himself and along the way, I believe a restoration and marriage to a good man.  Thank you but no thank you for the website and your advice.  I pray that you open your eyes and your mind to what God wants to say to you.</description>

		<description>If this is in your heart and your desire, keep praying to God to help you be at peace while you wait.  It is a process and its not easy; however you do not want your desire your need to lead you somewhere that you should not be.  Waiting sometimes can be discouraging because it seems that life is passing us by.  However, we are young, knew and yes the physical body is dying each day but the inner man is being renewed and the spirit lives forever.  God must be our first love and then he&#039;ll direct your paths.  

Have you ever considered that while you wait he is preparing you for marriage and preparing your mate for you.  Yes, consider this, your waiting is not in vain but talk openly to the Lord and realize that even waiting means he&#039;s up to something in your life.  Be encouraged you are not alone in the waiting process and the desire for a spouse.</description>

		<description>Jessica, no disrespect to you, but, please - you don&#039;t have any right to come here &amp; say that any of us need help. I&#039;m not out to try &amp; find a man. I honestly don&#039;t think that you really read carefully enough what I or Wonder said. We&#039;re content &amp; fine with being single, &amp;, while I do appreciate you wanting to help, if you did come here in a truly helpful attitude, I don&#039;t want to read anything about how to get a man. That&#039;s not what my life&#039;s about. If God should choose to have me married, it&#039;ll happen. If not, it won&#039;t, &amp;, believe me, I&#039;m totally fine with that. I don&#039;t need help. In fact, I&#039;m in the best place in my life, &amp; have been since I surrendered my singleness over to God &amp; committed myself to serving HIM with it.

I don&#039;t know what problems you&#039;re talking about, but I have a feeling they&#039;re not the same that I had. Thanks again for trying to help, but I have a feeling the help that you&#039;re offering doesn&#039;t apply to me.

Blessings to you, &amp; may you find peace &amp; contentment wherever you are in life, whether in a relationship or out. Until a woman&#039;s truly at peace &amp; content with who she is, with or without a man, &amp; in a fulfilling relationship with God, then she&#039;s just going to be running around trying to find that elsewhere. Please trust me on this - the ONLY place that true fulfilment is to be found is in a true relationship with God &amp; in serving &amp; loving Him - not in an earthly relationship.</description>

		<description>i can help myself not to comment this discussion.
ladies, you all need help. this thing help me a lot and i have a total different opinion about everything that includes guys and relationships. i found such a useful e-book that talks about how to find a right guy and it really help me to deal with typical problems women have. now i have more self-confidence and of course i learn how to understand what they think and how to use that as my advantage :)
i recommend it to all girls who have same problems i had, but not any more.

		<description>Thank-you so much for clarifying. :D

I&#039;m on with you on both points. As I said, I&#039;m a committed sort of person. Part of being an adult, &amp; just a responsible person in general, is doing something even if it&#039;s unpleasant or won&#039;t benefit me. Sometimes it&#039;ll benefit someone else. I do agree with being independent &amp; free &amp; wanting to fit in - doesn&#039;t everyone want to fit in? - but I don&#039;t agree with the loneliness that was mentioned. I&#039;m certainly not lonely as a rule. Sure, I have my lonely moments, but I&#039;m not what&#039;d be considered a lonely person. I do quite well on my own, &amp; I have plenty of family &amp; friends around so that I don&#039;t get lonely.</description>

		<description>Hi Michelle,
Sorry for my grammer.
Yes, I don&#039;t agree with what the article mentioned about,&quot;singles are uncommitted&quot;.
I also don&#039;t agree with the article about&quot; If something doesn’t benefit them, they won’t do it.&quot;</description>

		<description>Wonder, you&#039;re welcome, &amp; thank-you.  In your second comment, I&#039;m having a bit of trouble understanding what you&#039;re saying. Do you mean that you don&#039;t agree that singles are uncommitted? Your grammar &amp; wording is causing me to not really get what you&#039;re trying to say, although I&#039;m trying to. If you don&#039;t agree that singles are uncommitted, you are right for several of us. I&#039;m a woman who&#039;s very committed when I&#039;m in a relationship &amp;, most importantly, in my walk with God.

About what else you said &quot;I don&#039;t think single only choice to do things when there is benefit.....&quot; &amp; so on, that&#039;s the part I really don&#039;t understand. Some of us aren&#039;t single by choice. I never chose to remain single. I know, though, that God certainly hasn&#039;t abandoned me (&quot;I will never leave you nor forsake you, He says in His Word) &amp; He isn&#039;t punishing me, either. He never lets us go through something that isn&#039;t for our good in some way, &amp; that&#039;s a great comfort.

Anyway, I just wanted to get some clarification on what you&#039;re trying to say. :)</description>
