What makes a good Woman or Man? Is it natural, Experience or God's word?

I want to know whether some people are born to be good marriage partners or it is experience that makes them so or its the application of Gods word in their lives?

I believe God above all and he can make everything possible. Sometimes God will allow us to suffer from pain in order to handle things right and wrong. If we have fear in God then we are afraid to do the things that are against his will and so he'll bless us. And there is a right time for that...

a good person is a good person, regardless of what their religious beleifs is. I am Pagan, but my partner is an atheist. he's also the kindest, most patient, happiest, calmest, gentlest and funniest person I know. he is just wonderful. I love him completely, and he's not got a religious bone in his body, so it's nothing to do with the word of any God or another. he's just a genuinely wonderful person.

that's what you beleive. your beleif, associated with your God. mine is different. I beleive there are certain sould we are destined to be with in our lives. as friends or as partners, or even as someone we don't like. it's the same group of souls each life. and certain members of your group are particularly special to you.

Good Galena, but don't you think being able to do all this is by the grace of God? Because practicing all this means practicing the word and the word is God.

Hi Sammy, Many times in our lives we can get stubborn and think we can do things on our own until we find ourselves at the bottom of the barrel and we can either go in circles down there or look up and reach for that higher power than ourselves and within ourselves. I do not think anyone is especially born to just be good marriage material, it is all the things they learn along the way and what they decide to do with that knowledge. Trust, respect & honesty are key ingredients to a good marriage/partnership. Love is not always enough. You can love someone and not trust them, or possibly lose respect for them, but still feel love, but without the full list of ingredients, you won't have a strong commitment. Think about baking a cake, you get your ingredients together, but notice you are missing eggs. You decide to make it without them. What happens is, you have a flat, dry cake. Not very tasty sounding is it? But, you go back and give it another try, this time with everything you need. The cake rises, it is moist, it is delicious and others admire it and want that recipe. A relationship is alot like that, it takes the combinations of many things to make it whole and something others admire and want to pattern their after. I hope this makes sense. Two people loving each other, coming together and adding all the ingredients of respect, trust, honesty, ethics, faithfulness can only lead to a long and happy relationship.

Let me add, the fact that you think on this and consider what it takes and want to do what is needed, tells me you are a step ahead. You ask questions so that you can laern and practice what works. That says alot of good things about you my friend.
