Sometimes it's not a matter of self-esteem so much as it is a battle of wills - ours vs. God's.<br /><br />I've never believed that God provides perfect mates. I do believe that if we allow Him to lead, He will provide the person who is perfect for us, in that they will bring out the best in us, helping us to become all that God created us to be. God will never put us in an adulterous relationship to make that happen. <br /><br />I also believe that, as a follower of Christ, I have to accept that God may never call me to marriage. My wholeness will always come from Christ, whether single or married. So, far from your "Magic Genie" analogy, it's more a matter of "Not my will, but thine."Single and Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088040256596780195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658367767843980800.post-40077686035360503242010-04-09T15:39:27.817-05:002010-04-09T15:39:27.817-05:00A person who is in a realtionship with someone who...A person who is in a realtionship with someone who is already married has to have a pretty low self-esteam. I'm not saying that being involved with someone who is already in a committed relationship is ever justified. I don't think it is. However, I think you are kind of over simplify the situation. <br /><br />And really, do you think God ever answer's someones prayer for the perfect mate? Maybe He does, I honestly don't know. That just seems to be venturing into "Magic Gennie" tarritory.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610117543051640146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658367767843980800.post-55780788974600280792010-04-09T11:05:49.382-05:002010-04-09T11:05:49.382-05:00I think that's often the case - if you haven&#...I think that's often the case - if you haven't experienced that kind of pain, it's hard to imagine it. But sometimes I think it just begins as a friendship, then over time it turns into an emotional affair, and it progresses from there because they just don't realize that they're playing with fire...and with people's lives.Single and Sanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01088040256596780195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6658367767843980800.post-84584817470850225412010-04-09T10:42:56.512-05:002010-04-09T10:42:56.512-05:00I've been cheated on in previous relationships...I've been cheated on in previous relationships, and it is a kind of hurt you could never imagine until you've experienced it. I couldn't think how much more it must hurt when there are kids and a marriage involved.<br /><br />I still can't understand how a woman could intentionally involve herself in that. I can only imagine it's because nobody's ever done it to her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
