LemuelReyes
My girlfriend and I have been dating for 6 months now. In the early stages of the relationship, I never got angry at her and I always let things slide. It was smooth sailing. Fast forward to now and everyday we're always fighting....sometimes it gets to the point we hang up the phone on eachother, we're yelling, we're crying, etc. But the next day we're ok and back to talking. This is making me weary and burdened...I don't want to fight with her anymore. We fight over the simplest things....and it saddens me that we're doing this. What's the difference between our relationship and the world's relationships? I get angry easily, my patience is short, etc. I don't want this relationship to fail...please pray for us

There is no differance except if your a disciple of Christ. The devil has you in his sights which makes all the differance in the world.

There is a evil spirit called Asmodeus or Osmodeus which wants a person to themselves. It is a possibility that it is working either in you or in her specifically. Bind up the spirit in the name of Jesus and see what happens from there.
Anger rests in the bosom of fools so you might want to repent for being full of pride, which I have never met a man that was not full of pride including myself.
What do you mean by dating? Do you mean courting or fornicating? And what exactly do you want prayer for?

If I am to pray like "God, be with Lemuel in this trying time" I would be wasting my breath and doing you a great dis-service.
People pray like that all the time and nothing changes.

Father, In the name of Jesus Christ I command that the spirit of contention and Asmodeus be bound with fetters and chains and cast out of their relationship right now.
I also ask that the Holy Spirit come and search their hearts and judge every thought and intent. I also ask that the spirit of pride and its power be broken in Lemeul and that you cut off the spirits that are holding up the hands of pride and anger. Do this that the world may know that the son of man has power on earth to forgive sins. So be it.

Looking Up
I will be praying.

If you believe that God put you guys together, then a good first step would be to completely surrender the reins of your relationship to God, and let Him make the decision on where He wishes your relationship to go. Sure, surrender is difficult, because you have to be willing to confront fear and the desire to control, but fighting and arguing and worrying and fretting is more difficult still.

I am praying for both of you.

Perhaps you are not fighting with each other, as much as you are arguing with the anxiety in this world? Perhaps this world divides lovers while Christ unites lovers? Depend on Christ and not on this world for unity and love. Christ knows all, sees all, is all, and with only HIM can we find the love we long for.

In Christian Love,

You need to be aware of what you are dealing with here. If you are fighting now it will actually get worse later if you marry. Been there done that. Persons in a relationship have to determine a fine balance between what is worth quarelling about and what is worth letting go of. Those issues can be deep issues or shallow ones. From how you make money and spend it to what end of the toothpaste tube you squeeze. Individuality is important but it is also important to give place to the partner. People need to be alike to a good degree also. Sharing heart issues and moral and spiritual issues equally. My wife and I never quarrel because we are on the same page in about everything. It is a blessing. And it is of God. Because we met by His unction. We are so in tune and it is so blessed to be in tune. Beyond that, each of us is willing to defer to the other one in a case of disagreement. And in that rare case, the tiffs that have occured are reconciled by one or the other before the sun goes down. We have each taken our turn at just forgiving and forgetting. It can be done but it requires godly discipline and spirit. I would not trade my wife in on another model ever. Remember also that soul ties exist and are completed by sexual union. Once that union exists, the soul tie is in place and breaking away becomes an extreme. Nearly impossible without God. That is because it is His doing. Man and wife cleave together. Sex partners cleave together. Cleave and leave are opposites and if you have soul ties, leaving physically can happen but the soul tie is there nonetheless and calls one back to the despair of an unhealthy relationship, even if it makes no sense. I have learned what a huge thing it is to be involved with another person. Even someone who is of no consequence in the world can bind you to a place that is hard to let go of. Please be careful and think it through is all. There are many people who are in this life that God can cause to cross your path at an appointed time of readiness. It is best to not go out ahead of Him and to above all ask Him to ready you and that yet to be other person in His timing and posture. I sense that there is an angst here that is not of God and that perhaps the issue would be best resolved by recognizing dysfunction as an act apart from the Spirit and be ready to vacate. Sorry.

I pray God reveal the deeper things of His will to you and that you be prepared to go forward or else to forgo according to His plan for your life. You are young and no need to ever be a 'Mr In between." Lord direct his focus and his steps and lead him in a plain path. Amen.

Try to sit down and talk things out. There is obviously deeper issues that are making you fight then the simple things. After you talk it out leave in God's hands to decide your future!

You obviously care a lot or you wouldn't be asking for prayer! Please don't take this the wrong way, but I would say that you are actually still in the early stages of your relationship. The first part was probably the romantic part when everything looked rosey, but now you are familiar with each other and the boundaries are getting pushed a bit. You need to know where you stand and so you are both testing one another. If you involve the Lord in your relationship you should be able to get through this. I think that this goes on to an extent in all relationships and as we grow closer together and involve the Lord then it should get easier. Sometimes you'll look at other couples and think they all have it together but it is very important not to compare because every relationship is different, we all comes with different experiences and baggage and so some couple who perhaps have an easier background and better role models etc. will find things go easier for them. My DH and I have had problems, which we have worked though. It was very difficult in the early days because we didn't know the Lord and because we both had dysfunctional famlies. But despite all these problems we stuck together because we knew that deep down, there was real love there and life would never be the same without the other. Now that we've both been saved for a number of years I can see that God wanted us to be together all along.
Now we still argue sometimes, we can have very different opinons and sometimes it can be frustrating! When it's hard, I just cry out to the Lord... he helps me see what's going on. Sometimes there is spiritual attack going on and that basic call out prayer to God helps a great deal. Sometimes I need to repent, sometimes I need wisdom, which I pray for, sometimes I need love.

Have you both made the decision to commit fully and do you think the Lord is wanting you to be together?
I guess that's the biggest question. Do you both really love each other? How would you feel if you let go?
You don't need to answer these questions to me, but ask them of yourself. Ask the Lord for help, He can help you and He can bring out the best in the both of you. I personally don't believe that we should go around trying people out and finding out what relationship will be the "one". This is the way the world works. I think that God draws people together and you can definately save yourself a lot of heartache by getting Him involved. I wish I'd known this in the past!
I will pray for you both x

Just another thought or two! I think a lot of time I argued with my DH when we were younger because I was very insecure. I was really worried he would go off with someone else and I was worried I wasn't good enough.
Also I got very bad pmt... sometimes we would have a huge bust ups... we were young and I had a lot of growing up to do! Just be wary, don't go accusing her of having pmt because that'll upset her, but just be aware that younger women don't always know how to handle things when their hormones are up and down. It's hard to explain, but if you just love her through it she will trust you more and that will help build your relationship.
Also have a look at "Love Languages", maybe she has a different one to you and if you find her's out and visa versa then you will get along a lot better. Haven't got time to explain but the author Gary Chapman has written about this and if you google it you'll find some free sites which will explain what it's all about.

My heart goes out to you.

Many times when we argue and fight with the one we love....we are not arguing about what is really bothering us.

Look deeper for the real reasons and have a heart to heart talk with her.

If she is a believer....(and I hope she is for your sake)...then bring the Lord into this and ask Him to help you both.

i pray the light will shine greater clarity on the both of you that you may proceed with what is right.
