I hate to sound so passionate about all of this.... But I am around it all the time at work.
My nephews and nieces use to raid my grandmothers chewing gum drawer and basically chew it all up. They would chew it until all the flavor was gone, spit it out, and then go into her drawer and get some more. I knew that when those little monsters would leave that I would be in for buying more gum for granny. No matter how hard we tried to hide the gum they would find it and then start going though it.
That's how a lot of people treat their relationships these days. They are in it to get all the pleasure they can out of it, and then when the pleasure is gone so are they. I have even heard Christians say that they didn't know why their spouse left them as they paid their half of the bills. I had a woman at work say that her husband was good looking when they first met, but now he's gained a few its time to head for greener pastures. And another thing, I can't tell you the people who get divorced and are actually happier without that individual in their life. No sense of failure over what just happened.
What ever happened to love? Has this marriage thing turned out to be a business deal? Are we so people dependent that we are only in relationships as long as the spouse can do for us? And then when they can't do for us anymore its time to split the scene? I can remember when I would break up with a girl that it would break my heart in a million pieces. I am afraid that the warm, fuzzy kind of love is hard to find these days!

please can anyone tell me about sexual immoralities? Also, please I need help, my flesh is weak, I got the desires to have sex but i don't want to and i am not married. it's so disturbing. what do you guys think about sex before marriage? I need help please.
Discipline is the answer.
For children, outward physical methods need to be applied at times.
For adults the internal qualities of consistancy, loyalty and morality need to be employed always.
Warm and fuzzy cannot exist without the bedrock of confidence that these qualities contribute.
