I don't get the compraison to slaver simply for this fact alone. Slavery (in America and Africa) was an abuse to the human being. Birthcontrol or the lack thereof is simply a decision one makes in one's own bedchamber when making love.

As such, we can make an absolute statement that homosexuality is a sin, but we cannot about birthcontrol. Now I would kindly ask you not to make such thinly veiled accusations to me in the future. It would be much appreciated bro. Thank you.

To all, please continue to treat each other and each others' opinions with respect as you discuss this topic further! Thanks!

There's always a guy out there who will meet your standards, it just depends if you meet'im or not. God may have a different guy in plan for you though, we dunno lol You seem like the type of person who is meant to have someone. So I'll have faith that there's someone out there for you :3 I'll pray for you to!

I know what the heart is behind this, and I understand it, but it bothers me a lot. It's basically the Disney fairy tale repackaged for Christians. It's essentially treating whoever your spouse is like they were made just for you, like their whole purpose in life is to be your soulmate.
I'm just going to come right out and say it: That's nonsense, and if you expect that out of your marriage partner, you're probably going to be disappointed.
Marriage is not this be-all end-all thing that God made us to experience. People are not created specifically to be married. If we were, the idea that God created us to be "perfect for each other" would make sense. But I think God created each person with a specific vision in mind for that person individually. As such, I prefer to see potential mates as they are, not as I think they should be in relation to me.
Yes, it's important to have standards. But why don't you let a person be who they are, who God created them to be, rather than who you expect them to be in relation to yourself?

You learn to respect boundries, you love eachother platonically first, and you learn what irritates you about your friend (then you can decide if you can put up with that for the rest of your life). I just think it's good because it keeps you from being blinded by love.

If the answer is 'no' to both, I'm supposed to say "Well get away from me you loser or my father will kill you".
I'm supposed to ask what his major is. If he says anything that's not Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or perhaps Business, I tell him to get away from me.
