All I can say is that it has been a wonderful five years and I wouldn't give them up for anything!

When you come from a marriage where you are walking on eggshells constantly, and arguing constantly. Where your spouse was mentally abusive and on several occasions, physically abusive. Having a relationship where none of those things happens and you actually lift each other up, encourage and talk out disagreements without fear of walking on eggshells or having hands go around your neck, is truly a blessing.

I cannot say it enough! This relationship is the best I have ever had!!
 
We plan on being married. We just cannot get married right now. I will be going through bankruptcy, and I am not going to drag her into the middle of it by marrying her.

So, for now, marriage will have to wait.

So, are you married in God's eyes?

I don't believe you. And you didn't answer my question. Are you married in the eyes of God?

Quantrill

Doesn't matter if you believe me or not. What matters is what God sees and that God sees that I am telling the truth.

I answered your question. We are dating. We have not had sex. If you bear false witness one more time I will report you to the moderators.

I am not bearing false witness. I am saying I don't believe you. And you still didn't answer the question. Are you married in the eyes of God?

I answered you. You are choosing not to accept it. Saying you don't believe me says that you think I am lying and since I am not lying, you are bearing false witness against me.
 
We're dating. We live apart and do not have sex as we're waiting to be married.

We have to wait till after the bankruptcy.
Marriage is not necessarily expensive. I think it is the consent of both family and the pastor and once you are married your cost of living will be cheaper. You don't need elaborate marriage and once you are living together you can share whatever income you have and manage it. It is better than waiting for after bankruptcy because if you are going to raise kid peradventure you start this year in five years time your kids will be 5 years old compared to when you begin in 5 years. You can marry in an affordable way and pray to God for open doors.

He's trying to help you that according to my understanding that if you truly love your gf you can both talk to God and marry each other with a vow in God's eyes while holding hands in prayers and telling God you take her as your lawfully wedded wife. Then talk to both parents and church pastors about it. I hope you can understand

You're the witness here. Not me. You offered your testimony. It is the one given. Not mine. Thus I am not a false witness. I just don't believe what you're saying. I don't believe your witness.

And you still didn't answer the question. Are you married in the eyes of God?

We have to wait till after the bankruptcy so that her finances do not get dragged into the court proceedings. I do not want her in the middle of it. Also, we will not be having kids. I am soon to be 47 years old and I have seven kids. Most are adults now and she has one that will be an adult in three years.

So, it has nothing to do with finances for the marriage. I know we can just go to the courthouse to get married. That is not the issue. The bankruptcy is.

You are calling me a liar. You know what, go ahead, keep calling me one. Doesn't matter. God knows the truth, and he is the one that I need to please, not Quantrill.

That is not how it is to be done as we're to follow the law of the land. We will be married once the bankruptcy is done and over with.

I am saying I don't believe you. It's your story. Your witness. I am not required to believe it.
