abimic: Like I always say, love goes beyond romantic feelings, it's commitment, you decide to commit to someone despite all odds. So yes, God can ask you to marry someone you don't have romantic feelings for because he sees beyond the carnal, doesn't attach sentiments like we do cos he knows in the long run, it would have been the best decision for us. 1 Like |

Some of u guys u would lock urself inside ur room from mornin till night without going outside with d excuse dat u are introvert and u expect God just to magic a partner for u just like that cos u be prayer warrior ni? Same also with some ladies.u don't want mingle but u want God to magic one handsome rich dude with sixparks to marry u . If u looking for a partner try and mingle and be sociable plus it will also be time to take pains to improve ur physical appearance to appeal more to the opposite sex.dats how it's done . don't let any pastor scam u and tell u to give him money so he will fast for u and make God to give u a partner .Go out..make friends Enlist in a gym Join a social club Use the social media If u do all these no how no how u will get the type of partner u looking for. 1 Like |

mamaafrik:he shouldn't forget spec.those pastors who always say physical appearance is not important wen looking for a partner biko how many of them have u seen been married to ugly women Wat u like might not be wat op likes physically in a woman If op loves tall ladies then he should go for what he wants But then wen going for ur spec u can always make a compromise cos realistically it's not possible for a person to just have all d complete package u want. 2 Likes |

Sometimes love grows on you. Have you and this lady had any kind of relationship before? It is good to marry your friend because marriage lasts a lot longer than the wedding. Please note that if you do try to work out a relationship with this girl, who is already your friend, you HAVE to be serious about it. Franky, the relationship can only end for SERIOUS reasons. wahoom: |

elmagnifico411: The only thing that worked was the kids they had.. Isaacs marriage had issues, the wife was a master manipulator... The man lived a bitter life so much that he had to ask his son to make food so that he could eat and be happy. Even untop that his wife still couldn't let him eat and bless his son in peace. If Isaac was married in the 21st century he would have divorced Rebecca. God won't give you a wife that you re not attracted to.. Even Adam was blown away when he saw eve for the first time. |

Blabbermouth: I have this belief which is that everyone has destined person to spend the rest of their life with. God can guide you to the right and destined partner who He created for you from your missing rib and you decide to not be with that person in the name of not been in love with that person, for sure you will have yourself to blame. God cannot force you to do anything, He will only tell you what to do, It is now left to you to either accept to do it or leave it. The issue of marriage is not a child's play and if you make mistake in it, you will regret for the rest of your life. |

Do I believe God can choose a wife for you. No! Bible said ask God and it shall be given to you. So ask God for another girl. But remember, Bible also said you can't understand the way of God. So use your head. |

baralatie:obviously we dont all have the same level of understanding so its normal to disagree..The story of Isaac is well-known and the notion that he had a perfect marriage with Rebecca is very wrong . Was she destined to be his wife? maybe she was. Was she a model wife...No, she wasnt. if you feel differently go and read your scriptures carefully. Most times we feel that if something is ordained by God then there will be no challenges involved or unsavory outcomes which is utterly false. An uncle wanted to end a relationship with the lady he was dating back then, on his way he met a female prophet who told him not to carry out the decision in his mind, that if he did he would regret it. After listening to her de changed his mind and married the lady. this was over 20 years ago. As I speak to you the marriage is in shambles, the woman doesnt live in her husbands house anymore. The man had challenges and the woman relocated with the kids and left him to suffer. Was she his God given wife? maybe she was.. was she a model wife?.. I ll let you be the judge. |

addictiv:I would advise you to read the story of isaac and Rebecca very well because you are misquoting and introducing the wrong issues into Isaac's marriage with Rebecca. Again go and read and put into proper perspective the Isaac and his wife Rebecca marriage and stop introducing conjectures |

dermmy: I have tried to love her and accept her but she's far from me, she's in Abuja while I stay in Lagos. I have only seen her like 3 times or so, there's has been no opportunity for us to bond very well and that is also one of the reason the feelings has not been growing. Am I supposed to ask her to relocate to Lagos? |

Here's what you should do: table the matter before God and ask him to help you fall in love with her and be physically attracted to her if truly,she is His will for your life.I've heard people say that this worked for them. This is important cos it's dangerous to marry someone you are not attracted to.You can't pretend ooo.You know that you're a Christian and adultery is not an option.Be careful.Don't be scared that God will interpret your questions as faithlessness.Check out Gideon.He asked for multiple confirmations and it was granted him. 1 Like |

boxer022:Let us deal with facts here and not mere opinions or fantasies - Show me 3 bible Characters God specifically picked a wife for. Let's start with Adam. God made Eve, but nowhere did he (God) mandate it to Adam and said - Take Eve, She must be your wife. 'Twas Adam himself who picked Eve by confirming her to be bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. If Adam had said He doesn't want Eve, so would it be! Cain picked a wife of HIS choice. Abraham picked a wife of HIS choice. Isaac was given one, but she was HIS choice. Jacob chose a wife of HIS choice. (He got double in the process though). Moses picked a wife of His Choice. Samson chose a wife of HIS choice (even if she was instrumental in his destruction, God respected Samson's choice) David Chose whom he Wanted. Solomon married whoever he wanted. Need I say more? God can definitely give you a range, something like - Hey, don't marry anyone not born again. But, He won't say - Take this one, she's you destiny partner. If you don't marry her, you won't ever marry anyone. So, am I proposing that choosing a spouse doesn't require God at all? God forbid! Learn from David, the best person that can be your counsellor is God himself. When you see someone you love (the first step) and she loves you in return, ask the LORD - Shall I go further? If he says NO, then trust Him, He has his reasons. But you know what is certain? There are 10,000+ girls out there God will tell you "My son, carry on" if you happen to meet them. When you know this, you then realize that there is no destined soulmate. A man MAKES HIS OWN soulmate and God stamps his seal on their union. I can show you many marriages the spouse will tell you - God confirmed them. But guess what? Those marriages are nothing to write home about. Even Atheists marry happily. Muslims marry happily. If your marriage is a mistake, it's your fault, not God's nor anyone else's fault. |

wahoom:My Ans To Ur Question Is "YES" God Can. U Asked Him To Choose 4 U, He Has Chosen 4 U. Just Accept It. If Truly It's 4rm God, It's Good 4 U. In summary, God Won't Give U Who U Like. He Will Only Give U Who U Need. |

Yes God can ask you to marry someone you don't love, most especially if you've been engaging him in prayers for the sole purpose of him helping you find a life partner. God will respond by giving you a lady regardless of whether or not you feel anything for her cos he (God) has seen the future and knows that she's the only one who can actually give you the kind of love and peace you deserve. You might not feel anything for her currently, but if truly you're sure that it's God's voice you heard, please go ahead am marry her cos God will never give you a gift that will destroy you. 1 Like |

Blabbermouth: I understand your points but must point out the following: 1) For Adam, the Bible recorded that God saw that Adam had no companion or helper which made Him create Eve from his missing rib as a helper or companion for Adam. 2) Solomon made his choice of marriage and where did it lead him, after marrying all those women it led him to worship other gods apart from GOD. 3) Samson was also warned not to marry outside his tribe but due to beauty and love, it cost him his life. God specifically warned the Israelites in the bible against marrying outside their nation. Following the topic of discussion you will read that he prayed and fasted for God to show him his wife and the lady God showed him was not the lady he loves. Since he put his trust in God and asks for His direction, which he got response then why is he going against what God showed him in the dream? 1 Like |

boxer022:Nowhere did God ordain Eve as Adam's wife. All God did was to make Eve and bring her before Adam. If Adam had said - No, I don't want her; so would it have been. David also made HIS choice. Like I said before, you make that choice and live with whatever comes out of it. The good thing is - You can also make God your counsellor. His choice, His cross. Bring out others that made nice choices, did God compel anyone of them to marry a particular person? Now, there was this prophet who God said He should take a prostitute for wife (Take note - He was a prophet). Guess what? He still picked the prostitute of His choice. He is wrong or mistaken! Concerning who you wife, God can counsel you, but He will not compel you. God will never give you who you don't like. At the end, the OP will commit Adultery, or worse, take a divorce. Then I will ask him - Who do you think was the architect of this mess you are in? |
