A4P Guest: I lived outside of Ethiopia since 2000. Last time I went back home was in 2011. I met this amazing girl at that time and fell in love with her instantly. We couldn’t spend much time together since I had to come back in short period of time. Before I went for vacation, I told my friends that I was going to meet my future wife and told them that I wouldn’t touch her except shaking her hands and that was exactly what I did. It’s been more than three years now and we are still together. We are actually more in love now than back then. I’m planning to bring her down here anytime soon. My eyes are dying to see her. I missed her so much. My question is when she arrives here, she only has me. I don’t want to sin against God and I’m a bit worried. I don’t even know if I can kiss her before we get married. I’ve already made my mind to propose to her. I just want to know if we can start kissing after I propose to her. What do you think about that?

“They Cheated on Me”
A4P Guest: I am seeing a nice, loving guy. I am 27 and he is 30. He proposed to me a month ago and I am struggling now to live with my decision.
A4P: What is your decision?
A4P Guest: I said “Yes” when he proposed.
A4P: And? Continue reading “They Cheated on Me”
Think Like a Man
I read this on Facebook yesterday (actually watched the story in a short video clip) and I want to share it with you. I made few changes to the story though so it fits right into the message of this page.
So, a man gets attracted to three girls at the same time. He knows that he cannot marry three of them. So, he struggles to choose one.
Giving Each Other Silent Treatment
Sure we all fight with our spouses. But when we fight, we have to make sure that we fight in the right way, biblical way. Continue reading Giving Each Other Silent Treatment
A Person Who Has Wandering Eyes
The word of God commands us to love God and our neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40).
Why?
We are originally created for love. All our body organs work perfectly in love. We enjoy life when we live in love. Not loving God and others is the shortest and easiest way to make our life miserable. And guess what? Our vital organs, primarily our hearts and kidneys, work efficiently when we love God and others. Our body parts are perfectly compatible with love, and incompatible with hate.
Merry Christmas to All Ethiopians!
Yeah! We Ethiopians have our own Christmas day, January 7!
Don’t you love that?
A Jerk?
A4P Guest: I am 27 years old and my girlfriend is 26. I am pursuing medicine, soon to graduate. I plan to pursue further studies to do my PhD in medical research. My girlfriend, who loves Jesus Christ very much and loves life, on the other hand, has absolutely no interest in any form of formal education. She wants to be a businesswoman. Her parents have business and both of her parents have no higher education and she wants to follow their footsteps. I told her that I would pay for her school if she goes to school but she is not interested at all. Missy, please understand me. I want an educated wife, not that I want her to pursue medicine, but at least I want her to have a degree or something. So, after I think about it long and hard, I decided to call it quits. Am I a jerk?
True Love Waits!
Sexual attraction between two Christian lovers is healthy as long as it is not allowed to overrule their desire to honor God in their lives. When it is allowed to overrule and reject the Word of God, their sexual attraction turns into lust, not love. Lust means wanting to have sex with someone you are not married to (Matthew 5:27-28).
By Default
Sin always lies to us. It always hides the truth from us. It says, for example, to unmarried couple, “Even if you two are not married today, you will soon be. So, enjoy each other’s body today so that you will be happy.”
“God is not Answering My Prayer”
A4P Guest: “I’m a 34-year-old single man. I strive to be sexually pure. I have male friends with whom I pray and discuss personal issues, including our sexual struggles. But I have a question for you. I’ve been praying for God to give me a wife but God is not answering my prayer. I’m not in any addiction or sinful lifestyle. Why do you think that God is not answering my prayer?” Continue reading “God is not Answering My Prayer”
