It is very interesting that somebody whrote a book with that title. I am not really into reading this type of book, but the title seems to catch any woman attention.
How many times we are in a relatioship with a guy, or just exchanging messages through e-mail, everything looks fine, and suddenly he disapears?
When that happens we create all kind excuses, before even he give to us, such as: he must be too busy, his telephone is out of area, his cellphone run out of battery, he forgot and so on. The true is, according to the authors' book, "Oh sure, they say they're busy. They say that they didn't have even a moment in their insanely busy day to pick up the phone. It was just that crazy. All lies. With the advent of cell phones and speed dialing, it is almost impossible not to call you. Sometimes I call people from my pants pocket when I don't even mean to. If I were into you, you would be the bright spot in my horribly busy day. Which would be a day that I would never be too busy to call you." (Greg Behnredt).
Did something like that ever happen to you, or is happening and you are receiving mix messages and don't know for sure if "there is a problem"?

I'm with ProvaDenz on this one. It is difficult in this day and age to be celibate, but I believe it is important to do so. God calls us to be pure: in mind, heart, body, and spirit. We can't do that if your minds are filled with lustful thoughts and desires. And celibacy is especially difficult (not impossible) if a person once chose a life without God and indulged in pre-marital sex.
I understand so clearly now why God asks us to wait until marriage. It is similar to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil that God asked Adam and Eve to stay away from and not eat from. Once you have tasted the "forbidden fruit", it is hard to stop "tasting" it.
I have an answer for the ones that ask "You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it, would you?" I'm NOT a car. If a guy wants to marry me just so he can have sex, then I'm not the right lady for him! I'm looking for the entire package: A relationship that encompasses the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. If any of these things are not compatible, then none of them truly are.
I teach young people at my church and they are at dating age. I have given some of them a book by Joshua Harris entitled "I Kissed Dating Goodbye". It is not about giving up dating, but about taking dating to a spiritual level. Dating based on what God calls us to in the Bible. I have read it myself and highly recommend it to anyone who is dating regardless of age. It is geared more towards young people, but I think there is a lot of really helpful information for us "older" folks as well.
Having said all that, let me end with this little nugget: Cinderella didn't have to take her clothes off to win her prince...and I'm not going to either.
Stay strong in the Lord.

Dearest Sister:
There is no pain like the one of betrayal, whether real or imagined. I have to agree, with the first commentor: You need to confront your fiance. I would suggest (and it is only a suggestion)fasting a praying for at least 24 hours prior to this. If possible, go somewhere neutral; not your place and not his place. Pray before you meet him and then pray again with him before you ask him about the letters from these other women. Trust God to give you the right words and to give you discernment in this matter. God does not want you to be unequally yoked. He does not want an honest woman with a dishonest man any more than He wants a Christian with a nonChristian.
As to Bibleman's comment, to receive the benefit of what he is referring to you should read (and he should read as well paying close attention to verses 25-28) the verses in Ephesians 5 starting at verse 21:
21Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another.
22-24Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands.
25-28Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ's love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They're really doing themselves a favor—since they're already "one" in marriage.
29-33No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That's how Christ treats us, the church, since we are part of his body. And this is why a man leaves father and mother and cherishes his wife. No longer two, they become "one flesh." This is a huge mystery, and I don't pretend to understand it all. What is clearest to me is the way Christ treats the church. And this provides a good picture of how each husband is to treat his wife, loving himself in loving her, and how each wife is to honor her husband.
(Why is it that men tend to focus only on the verse that talks about a wife's submission to her husband and forget the rest. It is all part and parcel of the same package and should be taken together.)
Please give this matter prayerful consideration BEFORE you do anything.
I pray that you and your intended will be able to work this out and move forward in your lives. But if not, know that the loving God of the universe holds you and will comfort you.
His peace be with you,
Nacee
