Re: Single Apostolic Men -VS-Single Apostolic Moth

True..... I see your point. I find that a lot of Apostolic young men are very stuck-up. To meet someone that understands, they almost have to be older...

I don't know if it's about being "stuck up" as much as it's about being relatively immature at younger ages. . Most 21 year old Apostolic men would not be open to the idea at all. But a lot more of them would at age 31.

More experience in life. More wisdom. More open-mindedness.

Well that was just IMO.... I do agree with you that the older ones are more understanding. God needs to send them to Tampa. LOL

Re: Single Apostolic Men -VS-Single Apostolic Moth

I think it depends on the situation. They may find husbands, they may not. If they already have children they have to consider that (to a large extent) in many ways their course in life is already set. A lot of things are already written in stone. That’s the long and short of it. There are no easy answers once a child comes into the picture. Actually if you think about it the easy answers disappear at conception. I've heard of some single moms deliberately remaining single in order to focus on raising their children in a godly manner. I think this is honorable. Most men would be impressed with godly, well behaved and personable children. I believe that would up the chances of a young woman finding a husband.

I am a single woman without children and don't know if I would marry a man that has children. For many of the same reasons stated by TRFrance. I know that step parent situations can work out, but sometimes they don't. The step parent/step child scenario can be a huge source of division in a marriage. Married couples are supposed to be one flesh. Relationships take enough effort without bringing in additional people to complicate things. For instance things seem fine on the outside until the step parent chastises the step child. Then it turns into "You're not my mom/dad" or "Please don't speak to MY child that way". Personally that isn't something that I would want to deal with. I wouldn't want to deal with the child's mother and other relatives either. No thanks. Not unless that was one anointed, spectacular, endearing, adorable child.

Re: Single Apostolic Men -VS-Single Apostolic Moth

I would think there are many things that would be considered here....

Why does she have a child ....
Was she married ....
Was she in "Holy Ghost filled" when the thing happened ...
Where is the father ....
How old is this mother ....
How old is ths child ....
Hold old was the mother when she had this child ....


We live in a different age than we have ever lived in! I am gonna have ponder some things on this.

Could it be that you are the mother?

Since I am not a man I can't answer from a man's perspective. From what I have seen there are men who won't have a problem with the woman having a child. My oldest son dated a girl that had a child. She was Holy Ghost filled. She had never been married. He had no problem with it. He was quite willing to support and love the little girl. So there are some guys who will take on a wife and a child.

Re: Single Apostolic Men -VS-Single Apostolic Moth

No, but I have single mothers in my sunday school class that have recently been filled with the Holy Ghost, and the question came up in class Sunday. I was looking for different points of view to tell the girls. It seems as if most of the responses are coming from people that have not been in the situation. I haven't been their either, so I can't really understand the situation.

Guess what I was getting at was ...

If the girl was in the church and raised with morals then why would a guy want a wife that is always breaking the rules.
It would make a diference if it was out of rebellion or bad choices.

This is what she told me. She was born and raised Apostolic. When she was in school she started hanging around the wrong people, and I guess she became a backslider. She just got refilled with the Holy ghost in a revival at our church. When she was out in the world, she made some bad choices, and now has a child. She is a great girl, just lost her way I guess you could say..
