Hi!
As a single man who has been set free by God from porn and mb, is it a reasonable expectation that I should want a wife who is free from mb? Comments from single Christians and married ones most welcome.

Praise the Lord God you're free of m and p dfs!
What an encouragement to all here!
Are you courting yet? That is to say, have you met the lady you believe God wants you to marry?

Hi guitarist,
I haven't found the woman I want to marry yet. I want God's best for me. He has promised me the best. And I want to wait for her. I would appreciate prayer support in this matter.

Hello dfs. Of course, I'll pray for you that God leads you to your wife and that when you find her, you will both be bound together in perfect unity by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God and that your love for each other will grow over a lifetime as your love for God also grows.

i think since you have been set free from mb you can certainly expect to find a wife that has been set free as well, but the emphasis is that you may find that wife with a past and a testimony, just as you have. when i met my wife, she already had her feet firmly grounded in Christ as i was just coming to the Lord. and she had a great testimony of God's grace and delivering power and it was hard to relate her testimony to the person i saw at that time, which was, and still is, very sweet and gracious, i could never put her past and who she is now together but it was the same person. now we fell into sin before we got married and at the time that we fell into sin it became evident that her weakness was also sexual sin and a lot of issues resurfaced that we're still working on at this time.
my point is that you can expect to find a wife that doesnt have a hair of this awful addiction in her body, but God may place you with someone with the same struggle. either way, DO NOT fall into temptation before marriage. that is the best advice i can give to you to preserve what God has for you and your bride. God bless.

Today I talked with a yung girl at 20 and my body reacted extremely. We were just talking. I didn't know what could happen down there, how much my body would react.
I wonder if this is quite okay or?
I might not need explanations, but I might need something that can make me see

| I would recommend that you ask God to help you see. It is likely you had a natural attraction but don't lust after God's Daughter:-) Pray Brotha!

Quite difficult this thing with lust. I can be afraid that I am not masculine enough and tough enough and when I feel that I react normal I can be happy about that, but I don't know what is right

Hey guys, I fell to my sin last night. I let my anger get the best of me and made a decision to look at some web photos and finished w/ M in the shower. If there is a victory in this, it's that I didn't log on to the web and watch video clips. But I was still deep in pictures for an hour:-( Men and women, do your best not to get H.ungry, A.ngry, L.onely, or T.ired (H.A.L.T.) I'm angry about how the family finances are going and the wife has not held back her feelings. It just got to me and the devil broke me in half I feel like a Hypocrite to you all, Lord forgive me for I am not worthy for the love and compassion you bestow upon me.

Hey, MP - sorry to hear of your slip. But you're not a hypocrite. A hypocrite wouldn't admit that he'd fallen. A hypocrite would minimize the sinfulness. A hypocrite would blame others whereas you simply acknowledged contributing factor but completely took responsibility.
You are not qualified to serve because you are perfect but because you know you're not!
