subject: Manipulation In Marriage [print this page] When I think about Lisa, I am so glad I dated her long enough to see these issues. Talk about an impeccable character, Lisa is a woman with high integrity and morals. The great thing about her is that she is so consistent. That is one of the reasons I married her. I never wonder, how will she act? How will she process dealing with a family that is really poor or another family that has millions of dollars? I wonder if she will be swayed by any of that. She never is. That is one of the reasons I married her. And if your family, your friends or others in you life give you the red light, or the green light, pay attention to it. It all goes back to the dashboard warnings.And here is some great information about going slow. Here is a 411 on taking it slow, on being patient. The more time that peels off the clock, causes you either to have more confidence or it will erode your feelings concerning the vehicle of marriage. And that is big. Wait. A lot of HDDers need to come clean and say, I have messed up. My picture is that of a highly defective dater. I want to do a U-Turn. I want to do this stuff Gods way. I want to drive on His street, between His guardrails, on His autobahn. I do not want to go off-road. I want to really understand and process everything about spouse selection. Good for you. All you have got to do is begin to turn the car and God will be right there. Ed Young Pastor point out another sign we need to obey, which HDDers do not, is yield. I like the way the yield sign is shaped. That should be our posture before God. We become a Christian by saying, God, have your way in my life. I receive Christ into my life. And we become an effective dater when we say, God, have your way. I give all of my desire for the opposite sex, all of my baggage to you. I want to go Your way. When we do that, we will meet our ulti-mate. And I will tell you the best place to meet your ulti-mate. In church. And when you do meet your ulti-mate, let me tell you what will happen. It will be like driving a Mercedes 500SL.
