This is a legit concern for my husband and I and many of our fellow homeschool families---finding good spouses for our kids. From families that aren't complete train wrecks. We are basically thinking we are going to pair our kids off with each other. Can't we bring arranged marriages back? PLEASE
No. We can't control God's plans. <3 But we can guard our hearts and be saved by Hope! Choose Joy!
Yes there is an oriental orthodox Church in a language I don't understand! I'll try to contact them
I didn't know that! Ah I guess I'll have to research into things.
Welcome DeDe! I remember feeling exactly like you 5/6 ish years ago. We had our first born in our parish school and I literally had NOTHING in common with the other moms there. They were extremely worldly, obviously had no qualms with ignoring portions of church teaching that didn't suit their lifestyles (most families had only 2 kids-boy and girl. No large Catholic families to be found at this "catholic" school.) We ended up pulling our son and homeschooling 1.5 years later and it was then that I found my ppl. Many aren't Catholic, but we share nearly everything else. It has been such a blessing. May you find your ppl DeDe! And may this forum help fill the void until then. PAX!
Is there anyway to mitigate spam postings?

When do men decide to settle down?
"Middle class" people spend a lot of money on stuff that's useless in the long run. A lot of nitpicky financial advice focuses on the obvious everyday bs-- but daycare, diapers, formula, kid activities, education (I'm excluding education here where one actually learns something, not just a...Man over 45 commit?
I am F 28, when I traveled to Austin, I met a guy M 45, we get along and he encouraged me to pursuit new things, he didn't judge me at all(at that time I get lost). In our early talks he talked me that it won't be good to start a relationship with me but he wanted to, in other conversation he...Need advice: Talking to someone but been out of the dating loop for 2 decades.
This may seem minor and dumb so don’t laugh. Or if you do make sure I can’t tell. I truly don’t know what to do when it comes to even starting a relationship. I have not been with my sons father for close to 2 decades. That’s right, no dating no going out no nothing. I actually started talking...Older Men, Younger Women
Ladies, have you ever dated an older man or had a friend that dated one? I'm curious how younger women view these relationships since it seems the Western media these days likes to mock those May-December couples. You always hear comments like, "Oh, she must have daddy issues" or something to...Human Behaviour
A thread for discussing human behaviours. Often there are topics in recommended books/articles that present behaviours that are to be identified and to be righteously judged. There is a difference between sinful judgement and righteous judgement as presented in this RVF article: “If a...Suggestions on dealing with specific types of male behavior
Hi everyone, I wanted to get perspective and general advice on how to navigate certain behaviors I encounter in daily life. I know it has been discussed about how men use endearing phrases which isn’t a big deal to me. However, when things pass words and are instead behavior, I have more...How to avoid frustration when Online-Dating
Online-Dating, as much as it can be useful for expanding your Dating-Pool is also mostly fruitless and the downsides are not knowing where you are at with a person you are writing with or them suddenly no longer writing back and not knowing why. Often I feel like I´m wasting my time. I suppose...Dating in a pandemic
A couple weeks ago I got on a dating site. My profile makes it 100% clear I'm looking for a Godly man and nothing less will do. All the men who've messaged me have been respectful except one guy, whom I blocked when he made sexual innuendo. I had a great phone call last night with someone from...Do you think a repentant man (godly/Christian) deserves or should expect a virgin who is godly/Christian for marriage?

Any tips on finding a husband during our present covid world? I've recently read and internalized Roosh's book Lady... while under covid though. The masks, social distancing, no social gatherings, sterilzing shots (not interested) make all the old ways very difficult.When's the best time to bring up important questions to potential dates?
So I've been active on dating apps lately. Before, my tactic was to take it easy. Flirt, ask them about their hobbies, personal interests, and family. And then jump into the nitty-gritty later after we get more comfortable with each other. This initial approach made me feel like I was setting...
You know, I feel badly for doveofthesun96. Here you have a longtime lurker finally make a thread honestly asking for advice only to be called a “troll”, “unattractive”, and “ugly” and then finally chastised for even making her thread to begin with. Really unfortunate.
What? I am not, nor have I ever been, an “online influencer” and have never claimed to be one… lol
Welcome!! I look forward to your spiritual flourishing!
