Guys, <P>I just wanted to share something with you. Right now I'm in love with the most beautiful and precious girl in the whole world. We've been dating for 8 months. Right now I'm very far away from her - across the ocean - and miss her very much. But she is coming to see me in the winter and we are planning to get engaged and then get married the following summer. You know, it's such a blessing and such a joy to have a person in your life who truly loves you and who finds her joy in being with you. And I'm very grateful to God for granting me this opportunity to grasp what true love is all about. It's not about money and sex. It's not about living together. It's pure and unconditional. When you find such love, it overwhelms you and you just cannot live without it. Guys, please don't settle for anything else. Strive to find true love with a person to whom you are genuilnly committed, a person whom you respect and adore, a person, to whom you'll be faithful for the rest of your life no matter what you will face in your struggle for love. This is the only way. Why put so much emphasis on money? Why have sex before marriage? respect each other, be pure, love one another's souls and hearts, not the base short-term gratification. I've found such love and it is more precious than all the expensive dates, rings, great sex in the world. It is a love of two simple souls who endlessly love each other and will be together forever. This love is fragile and it flows out of a pure and genuine heart, a heart that is vulnerable to offense, a heart that loves unconditionally and passionately. <P>May God bring such love into your lives! I wish this to all of you from the bottom of my heart. <P><P>------------------<BR>Love never fails!<BR>Kostya <><

Well, I'm a "gal" and a Christian and I pray your love will be tender always. Be true to the woman God gave you and never take her for granted. It's easy to believe you will be totally wrapped up in each other and that's the great desire of sharing life together...but marriage is also hard work and the slump seasons happen on occasion...remember these precious days and strive to treat your bride-to-be with the love you show her now...it will grow. And you are so right..there is something significant for those of us who abstained from sex before marriage that makes for a wonderful life together.<P>Before I had an affair, I would always comment to my H on how cool it was that we each were the only one the other had ever been with... I cannot believe the way I fell from grace by my own stupid choices and some manipulation but today I thank God for His restoration and forgiveness and renewing the wonderful marriage we once had.<P>Enjoy that tender love. What a refreshing post. Thanks!

WOW!Your post gave me tears and a little more hope!!!Thanks for making my day!Tear, tear!<BR>sweeteeyore
