My Dear, the church has nothing to do with your current status. I know many under 30s that are already wedded in the Church.. Moreso, the Church does not join people fogether for the purpose of dating. They help born again christians of marriageable age go through pre wedding activities like proposal, parental consent, counselling during courtship and every other activity of importance leading to the day of your wedding. I want to ask are you born again?? Are you ready for marriage??

We all know that marriage committee isn't scriptural, and for a church that actually preaches sound doctrine, that's a lot to deal with.
Also, many folks in that church are actually enduring their marriages.

Issues like this is why a 22 year old would end up marrying someone that's about 10 years older than her. Omooooeux!
Allow people to look for their preferences, meet up with the said person and both go to the marriage committee. Is that so hard? Instead, everything is supposed to be under the corners.

Aside the few extremes, a lot of young people are leaving the denomination because of this same issue.

You are venturing into for better for worse situation here and you are there thinking about relationship to get to know her better for good marriage instead of consulting your heavenly father for insights as to which way to go about it. Mr. 35years,pls give yourself some brain

NLKing01:


Exactly my thought. He is just seeking for attention and seeking to tarnish the Image of the church. There are people who are far younger and getting married every month in the church.

The church will never discourage anyone from getting married to whom you love, the marriage committee only serves to guide and direct you. After all they won't be there when you are enjoying or regretting your marriage.

The gates of Hell will never prevail against the church of God.

Is it the church that makes you not to have relationship at 35? Are people not getting married in the said church. Are you just looking for attention here or what?

OP stop deceiving people here about Deeper Life mode of marriage. You are the one holding yourself not the church or the committee. I just attended a wedding of Deeper Life where the sister is about 22 year. I married in the church and I can boldly say that if you take a 100 samples of the marriages join in this country by churches it will be hard to get a higher sample of successful ones other than what we have in DCLM. The MC is to guide us as believers and not a stumbliy block like you are insinuating.
By God's grace and if not for the MC I would have married a disaster. I know this by hind sight.

I am more concerned that for 35 years, this man has yet to yield to God and instead bowed down to the doctrines and traditions of men, lies which are against God. - Mattthew 15 vs 1 - 14. This man's supposed worship for 35 years has been vain since he has done so by following the religion of men and not the teachings and commandments of God.

And even as he desire marriage, he is waiting on men to fulfill that which God instead commanded in Genesis 2 vs 24 ( a law that Jesus Christ upheld in His New Covenant Law), that he and his partner do for themselves.

1. I don't see how not being in a romantic relationship is against God, nor voids ones faith in God. This particular doctrine is to guide and guard him from straying into the ways of the world. Which is still in alignment with keeping God's flock.

2. His faith for 35yrs is not in vain for I assume he kept to the doctrine to please God, as the he's not under any church surveillance. Though I'll fault him if he's doing it for man all along, which I doubt.
He's not actually waiting for men to do anything, he's just not ready to marry all the while. Everything has a procedure, which he said he already started the process.

3. As for the genesis you quoted. It's still in line with the whole thing. It didn't say he should go and start a romantic relationship, or leave his people to cling to a girlfriend. He will soon leave his parents to cling to his wife, when he marries.

Ishilove:
You want the church to sanction a relationship that is still in your imagination?

You are almost 40. Please let your foolishness end before you are 40 so it doesn't become permanent.

Kobojunkie:
Your opinion is your fact and not everyone else's.

Don't ever confuse your fact as everyone else's unless you are sure there is truth to it.
