A good God fearing man likes honesty.  I bet he communicates with you more then anyone else. That is because he likes you to. \n\nFrom what I can tell, you have found the potential love of your life.  Jump on it!

Teach him how to love a woman the way he loves God

If me made this claim about marriage just prior to getting you in bed, then nope, he probably doesn't love you.  If he came up with the marriage idea on his own and without any benefits attached to it, then he probably does love you.  Tell him that you love him (I guess you have already done this) and see what kind of response you receive.  If you get something like "you too" or "uh huh" that's not a good sign.  If he responds by looking you in the eyes and sincerely says "I love you too" then he probably loves you.  Communication is the key here, if you can't tell if he loves you or not then you don't want to get married any time soon anyway.

Hmmmm.  I don't think how YOU feel is any indication of whether or not your man really loves you.  I think it's best to put your feelinging aside for a bit and take a look at how he treats you.\n\nDoes he respect your ideas, opinions, attitudes, feelings, and behaviors?  Does he support your values -- allowing you to follow your own system of beliefs?  Does he allow you to express yourself, and is he willing to work with you to reach compromises when the two of you disagree?\n\nDoes he know your weaknesses, good and bad, and allow you to be "less than perfect"?  Does he protect your weaknesses rather than criticise you or open you up to ridicule?\n\nDoes he treat you with gentleness and kindness and yet know when you are ready to break loose in a chicken fight or giggle fest?  \n\nDoes he share some of your most personal interests?  Does he share your goals?\n\nDoes he know you well enough to love you for you -- whoever you are and whatever you are living through right now, at this moment?\n\nDoes he say he loves you?\n\nIt's easy to mix up our feelings with someone and assume the other person feels the same as we do.  If there is any question, let some time pass.  It takes time to know someone well enough to know if there is love between you and not just chemistry.

If you ever honestly tried to seek him and asked him to come into your life he would be there.  You would know by the change in your spirit.  He always said when you seek him he will be there.  Then when you develop a relationship with him you honestly know there is a Jesus Chris sent from God.Deuteronomy 4:29  "seek me first with all thine heart and soul and will find me".  Once you start doing that and God knows your sincere you will find him and his awe will overwhelm you and than you cant stop seeking him after that cause you will want that feeling to never end.  Mathew 6:33  Seek ye firt the kingdom of God and and all else will be given unto you.  He will then start to work and fester in you and begin to minister to you and when that starts to happen theres no way you or anyone could say anything different.  And thats how you will know how great he is!  Cause you will never get that feeling anywhere else!  Thats how miraculous He is!!!!!!! Praise God!!! I can truely testisfy to the great things he has done in my life and trust honey, I was definitly from the other side of the tracks so to speak!  And I'm not a "Jesus Freak"  but I am a "Freak for Jesus"!  And God sent Him so how can either be denied.  And to deny Him is to deny yourself of all that is good and great!  Sooo do yourself a favor and give yourself a chance and check Him out!  You cant go wrong babeeee!!\nYou cant go wrong!  Praise God!!!

I don’t personally believe, based on my own Christian faith, that God has dictated everything in your life.  Bottom line is, you are a co-writer of the story God is telling through you.\n\nYou will have opportunities to become romantically involved with different people in your life, and you simply do not “know” ahead of time what you are “supposed” to do. You might feel safer if God simply dictated every little step to you, but He won’t do that. You are not a robot, you are gloriously alive and part of the story yourself. That is scary, but it should also be exhilarating. (You have a say!)\n\nYou might end up picking someone who is similar to you, and marriage will be easy to make work -- but you won't be very challenged. Or you might end up picking someone with whom marriage is very difficult at first, but God still can make the marriage work and deepen as beautifully as the first option.\n\nMeanwhile, God wants you to be faithful to him in whatever you do. Act as He would have you in this relationship and see where it goes. If the relationship deepens (you grow to care about each other, your faith is leading you both in the same direction, and so on), let it deepen and see what happens. \n\nPray about it, pray for your romantic partner, focus on long-term growth and ask God for direction. Ask older wiser folks you trust for their opinions.\n\nMeanwhile, enjoy the friendship that is flowering. The abundant life (and by that I meant the spiritually fulfilling one, not the hedonistic pleasure-at-all-cost one) is meant to be lived and experienced.\n\nDon’t focus on whether or not you are “making a mistake” by perhaps not picking the earmarked person from the pool of 6 billion, that’s a fearful way to live. Focus on what God is doing in you and this person right now while you’re together, learn from it, and go where it takes you.

there is only one way, talk to HIM yourself and he'll answer your question, HE doesn't want to be a secret to anyone.  That's why HE has already sent ways to prove HE loves you.  I'm not goint to tell you which ways because the proof is when you ask and HE leads you to the truth, then you'll know for sure.

You don't, and you never will; unless you learn a very simple rule.\n\nSaying, "I love you," is easy.\n\nLiving it is hard.\n\nIf he shows you his love in ways that you can accept as sincere proof then believe him.\n\nIf he doesn't show you his love in ways that you can accept as sincere proof, but SAYS he loves you - don't believe him.\n\nIt's really quite simple.\n\nActions speak louder than words!

Stay strong in God's Word.  The very fact that you are concerned and asking about this is His sign to you that it is not right.  He will lead you to your heart's desire.  When you get married you will find that waiting was THE best thing to do and the RIGHT thing to do and you will have NO REGRETS.  Stay strong and stand firm and you will be blessed.

you just have to trust and look for the signs... if he is getting some from another source, he will not be able to look you in the eyes. STAY STRONG! if he really loves you he will not ask for sex until you are married.

I am concerned that you mention he "said if he is to marry me..."  b/c it sounds like an ultimatum.   Being baptized, if you are of the Christian faith, is a SYMBOL only of Christ's ultimate sacrifice for us (all humans).  We are sinners, from birth, and the only way for us (all humans) to gain access to heaven b/c of our sin was for Christ to give His life up for us, as the ultimate payment for those sins.  We will never be "good enough."  So, in accepting that Christ did this for us (again, ALL humans), and realizing that we will always fall short of perfection b/c we're sinners, we thank Him for His sacrifice and live for Him daily.  Always striving to learn more about how to serve Him, and then doing it.  This is why we're here on earth.... to serve God.  Baptism is then a way of showing publicly that we choose to serve the only living God, the Saviour of our souls, by dying to ourselves, being buried (sybollically) by being "dunked" or immersed in water, and rising again (sybollically) by coming up out of water.  Christ did this as an example of what showing a public declaration of knowing and loving and following Him could look like.  Being baptized is not a "ticket to heaven" - so be careful of feeling pressured to get baptized in order to be good enough for something else (i.e. marriage).  I'll pray for you...

You know you've found the ONE when everytime he turns the corner, your heart beats faster. And everytime you hold hands with him, your palms get sweaty. Especially when he says "I love you", and the look in his eyes is sincere. That is when you know you've found Mr. Right.\n\nNote: It applys the same for guys.

+    :)\nA Christian in Rebellion!\n\nChristians are forgiven sinners.\nNo better and sometimes worse than others..\nI am or have been attracted to other sins just as strongly as you are now attracted to the man you say you love.\nLove (AGAPE) by the way is not sexual, lust (EROS) is.\nIf your love for this man does not lead you into fornication (in thought or deed) then It's not sin.\nIf you mean you feel lust for this person you should resist it.\nBeing a Christian means Making Jesus the Christ, the Lord of your life. \nJesus loves you and all homosexuals as much as he loves anyone else.  He died for all of us.\nIf you love him you will keep his commandments.\n\nNo amount of approval from others on this site can change what you must do to please him.

If he shows up at the alter. J/K.\nPurchasing the ring, putting it on your finger and telling you he wants you to be his wife are very sure signs that he is ready.  But if you are questioning things, then maybe now isn't the right time. You should have a talk with him to straighten the whole thing out, because total strangers can not help you with one of the most important decisions of your life. Best of luck.\nK.

The way my husband did.  He informed me we were already married (we were intimate.)  We argued for 3 weeks until I believed him.  God had already married us without us knowing it.

do you go to church with him? \n\njust keep dating him, you'll eventually have deeper conversations and you'll learn as to where he stands with many issues and by living his life you'll see how important his values/convictions are. you'll know, trust me. you need a man that pushes you to grow. don't worry if he's not for you.\n\nand keep asking God, if he's not for you God will pull a string and you may break up, or God might even tell you himself who you should be with.
