It was freeing for me though when I realized there isn't just one person out there. That made things easier and less daunting for me, personally. I do still believe in a 'right one' though-- you can come across some really great guys, but they just aren't quite the right fit. There may not be just one, but it is also important to balance out the belief that it doesn't mean you just settle for a good one, instead of keeping your standards and waiting for a better match. :) Desaraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694035359926635253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191634110374476449.post-73189982627589822552013-10-14T20:05:38.524-07:002013-10-14T20:05:38.524-07:00Just wonderful. You expressed those thoughts so ...Just wonderful. You expressed those thoughts so well, especially considering the difficulty of the subject. It is hard to throw out an idea of a "perfect one", but really, the perfect "you" would be hard to find a home for, right?? I truly do think it is more important to focus on what we KNOW scripture says; we are to respect our husbands as they love us, and GOD does not like divorce. There will be plenty of times in a marriage where you can convince yourself you are not married to the "right one", but really, you are a sinner who is married to another sinner.....that is a lot harder to accept, isn't it? This was good encouragement to me, and I know it will bless others who read it as well.Prairie Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480553702721666594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191634110374476449.post-20168228650663291642013-10-14T12:03:19.812-07:002013-10-14T12:03:19.812-07:00Good post, Sarah!

But the most blessed marriages are the ones where both people realize that they are there to take care of, love, and bless the other spouse, instead of always expecting the other one to initiate the romance and do everything right.<br />Great thoughts, thank you for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191634110374476449.post-66951770217759717402013-10-13T18:57:50.650-07:002013-10-13T18:57:50.650-07:00Really well thought oput Sarah and I also agree wi...Really well thought oput Sarah and I also agree with you. The other thing that can happen in looking for that "one" is it could take forever and ever as you search for that "right one" and then they let you down. like you said, because they are human....the rest is history! Yes, We are to seek to know God's best, using Godly wisdom, and you will find him! By God's grace, lots of prayer, biblical counsel and in His time!!!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838108726381365545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191634110374476449.post-22936879291479255182013-10-13T16:12:54.561-07:002013-10-13T16:12:54.561-07:00Excellent post, Sarah!

You know, I wonder sometimes about the marry-the-first-guy-you-go-out-with idea too. As you know, I somewhat started a relationship with someone and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt it was God's will. Was he the one for me? No. But I know God had a plan behind our getting to know one another. So, anyhow, lovely post! Alicia Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850670601744580160noreply@blogger.com
