Honestly, does true love wait. What does God say about waiting... What do you think about it...(this question is aimed at CHRISTIANS ONLY) Me personally, I don't believe in marriage at all. I don't believe in being in love either, but I am open to debate both points. What say you my friends... Is love even real anymore? And if it is, is it worth waiting for?
God bless, and Merry Christmas

Yes Love is real, but we must wait on God to give us our mate. So many times we run a head and pick out someone, and then it wasn't what God had for us. He does have someone for each person. If you can be single, and enjoy it that is okay also. Then you can spend more time with God, and serving Him. It is hard to find people that are faithful any more. The world is about "ME", what's in it for me, what can I get out of it. If the person hurts me, I am going to get them back. That is the wrong mentality. That is why there is so much diseases running rampant throughout the world. I know people that have been married for 50 years though 70 years, and they still love each other.

In Genesis God said that a man would leave his Parents and take a wife. And Paul basically said in the New Testament that if you could resist the temptation then it would be better to stay single for the purpose of spreading the Gospel. Because then you don't have a family to drag along with you.
As for you question, God loves us and he Christ are the same and we are supposed to be Christ like and God has been waiting for us, so yes I think that true love waits. But I have never been in love.

God says that sex was meant for marriage only. I believe in true love, but I belive it is a really rare thing now days. Even in church you will find many who do not belive in true love or waiting. If you belive that true love exist then you should wait. If you make the decision not to wait then that is a choice you will have to live with and you can never go back and undo!

You ask for a thesis?
Matrimony, the blessed bond in which children are born and raised to be upstanding men and women in society, with both mother and father, that they may know love and learn respect through watching their parents interact with one another, and see different perspectives working in unity for peace and joy in the household. The foundation for the future of society.
The truth about sex:
Spreads STD.
Creates a more or less permanent bond between two people.
Is especially strong in producing memories in the first instance.
Creates children outside of marriage - often even with birth control.
These are all "negative" side effects of having "relations" outside of marriage. The recreation of numerous relationships also can lead to a series of "falling in love" sessions that may be hard to overcome as people move into a permanent relationship. May create predjudice toward ones husband or lack of respect for the marital bond (cheating). It makes logical sense to wait.
I was asked by my philosophy professor "What if I don't want to get married?""What if I couldn't have children?""What if I wasn't bothered by past partners?"
Well, the emotional bond still exists, which may dominate your life. It is a basic denial of the various fruitful vocations. I don't know what to say in that case. But, that's just how philosophy is.
Nonetheless, his arguement would not work for society at large, as it would cease to exist.

I believe that your version of what you think true love could or should be is undefined but from my point of view love is as real as your willing to make it. While love is something that you truly do feel its so much more than that. Love is a committment and that is something that you choose. And the other question that you asked does true love wait...wait for what? Sex, love, committment? It depends on what your asking.

I truly never thought I'd get to this point, but I have to say this.
The day that Christians stop butting in on questions specifically asked of Pagans/Wiccans/Witches to spout about how we're "of the devil" or really Satanists is the day I'll start respecting any "Christians only" topics.
I've been VERY reluctant until now to intrude on topics that ask for a purely Christian viewpoint, or a purely Muslim one, or whatever. I've largely respected those questions, figuring that it's not for me to answer them or comment on them.
But my (unearned) respect for Christian-only questions is eroded every time I see one of those "Stay away from that - it's Satanic" kinds of posts on a question specifically addressed to Pagans. Or the "Yes, they SAY they're not Satanists, but anything not of Jesus IS of the devil" and other such bigoted pronouncements.
You reap what you sow. And I'm getting more radical the more I read of that kind of thing.

If it's not worth waiting for, it's not worth having.
"Love is patient, love is kind, no eyes of envy, true love is blind. Love is humble makes no demands, despite all wrong true love still stands...."
True love is faithful and romantic "love" is a part of the marriage love which is much more than the "love" talked about in pop songs.
----Happily married man!

Love is real and yes it is worth the wait, love is just over rated and used wrongfully then it was intended to be used. when you wait, love will find you, and if you meet that person and it didn't work out its because it wasn't true love and that your true love is still out there for you. I'm in love and I've been with my bf for 3yrs now.and it grows stronger & stronger. Love is real it is just hard to find, and guess what? i waited for him. =]
