 Okay, so while that's coming up. Yeah, I'm starting with recording any questions any questions Okay, so we're looking at these four areas of compatibility. So From those a few who are single any questions Any questions any fears, you know, like like one question That I thought you might have okay, just correct me if I'm wrong. Okay, what if you know, I look at these Characters, I mean these areas of compatibility and then what if I harsh I mean judge very harshly and Then I let go of that opportunity Maybe God is sending that person Into my life and then You know anybody thinking like that Okay, you have a question or your Anita But I have a question actually you have a question. Okay. Okay. Go for it. I mean, I have that fear as well I mean in that area of compatibility in life's calling. Yeah, I mean, I Know I have a calling to be here in village. Actually, I'm serving here in village So I have that fear if I'll get a person who is from a city and I Mean, I don't know how to react to that how to prepare for that. I don't know Yeah, so the thing is to Specifically in your case let's say Yeah The thing is to just you know, your fear is okay. What if I don't you know, this is This is your do you feel that okay? God is calling you to this But are you very sure that God is calling you in a like to a rural kind of a setting? Yeah, okay, so Okay, okay. So the thing is to pray and ask God. Okay. God, you know, you know, this is what you've called me to So obviously you will send across a person Who will also have a similar? You know thing that They will also have a similar passion a similar vision at least So, you know, let me So I just start praying towards that and And also look for those, you know, when you when you're maybe even a proposal comes right you you can Like I'm sure there'll be a time for interaction and questions. So this can be one of the questions, you know, we can share saying I mean not like a You know, I share very graciously saying, okay This is what God has called me and I feel that this is this is something that is very big very important in my life And what do you what do you think? right, so It's good to get that Get that clarity from the other person also the person says, yeah Well, there could be things maybe there there could be ways that it could be accommodated also, you know Let's say the person is in a urban setting and then the person feels that okay. Can we do it this way? You know, there could be ways where can we can I come with you on weekends and you know, can we do it this way? Um, I don't know if that's that's something that's possible So that could be you know one The discussion could go that way saying that okay, this is an option I also have this passion but because of you know, this season of life Uh, and uh, since we are working this way and Could we do it this way? You know, could we go there on weekends? Could we go there? like do some Mission kind of a trips on vacations. Can we can we do that? right Maybe that's that's something for you to pray about and ask the lord as well Yeah, okay Okay Okay, one question from the married couples like those of you are married um Well, the married couples are silent Married folks are silent married couples married folks are silent um I don't know what to make of that But really, you know, um, if we you know as And when there's compatibility, it's amazing, right? It's like Yeah, it's fine. Uh, which is moving forward a lot of progress We're literally cruising if there's In incompatibility You know in these areas and that's areas for us to work on Right. We are in the covenant. We have uh, we are committed to one another And this is a area for us to work on All right, we are works in progress is area for us to work on Yeah, and um, yeah, that should be our Our posture, right towards these four areas Okay, okay, so we looked at um, like some questions to consider, you know, like signs signs of immaturity uh, is the other person Preparing or is open to preparing? Or is there a lack of preparation towards marriage? Are there any signs of character weaknesses? Okay So, uh, so don't get into a you know, we shouldn't get into a marriage You know marriage covenant saying okay, I'll change the person I'll change the person with my love and understanding and everything You know, once a person gets to know me he will change she will change Wow, that's uh, that's a and that's a very very uh, I don't know You know, that's self-deception We Yeah, the person may change person may not change but the change comes when person when that person decides to change It's it's not like, you know, you and I cannot change force another person to change, right? Our lasting change transformation comes when the person, you know, uh decides and then there is also, you know the The work of the spirit holy spirit in them and then there's transformation is a lasting change Right. Okay. Let's look at a few more. Uh, you know areas or red flags to consider signs of parental control. Okay, so it means that um Are the parents You know involved too much Right controlling everything Every decision uh of that person Okay, the person says, okay, you know, uh, I think we'll uh I'd like to do this and the person and the and the parents Uh Of that potential spouse right parents. Um, interference. You're okay. No, no, no, you cannot or No, you should not and and there's a lot of Control happening there. You know the control could happen because you know, that's how they've lived their lives, right? Um, you know as parents and they've brought up the child. So they obviously, you know, why do parents do that? It's because they want the best for the child, right? So we should consider that you know, they they don't want the child to um To undergo any pain to make any bad choices And there's a lot of involvement while we you know, while they bring up the child. So the but what happens is that Uh, you know as people grow Uh, parents also need to kind of let go and give that independence Right independence and making choices independence and living their lives and and not really force not really live You know, I should not live my life through my child you know, um And uh, say okay, I I did not get to do it when I was uh, you know when I was growing up Now there are these options, you know, I since I didn't do it now. I want my child to do it Right. I didn't become a doctor now. I want my Son or daughter to be become a doctor You know, that's that's not correct, right? We are imposing our life upon Whatever god's call might be for that person, you know It could be something totally different, but we are imposing and saying this is how it should be Okay, so similarly what happens is parents Uh, do not let go Of that or do not give that independence to their son or daughter When they move into a season where it's a different season where it's marriage Right where it's um, they they are married and all other relationships Take second or comes second Um, and this takes precedent which means that they are A couple and they are going to be making some choices for their lives For the for them together as a as a as a couple and as a family. So now as parents we can Well, parents can advise parents can guide of course from their wealth of experience and having walked with god and can give godly counsel but It stops there, you know, I cannot enforce My will and wishes that I'll be interfering in the marriage Right, so is there parental control? Okay, uh, that's very important. So if they're going to say no no my son will only do this Oh, wow Okay, we need to you know, take note of that. Okay, so Um, I'm not sure if that happens in every culture, you know, I I see, you know Like georgia abubakar and lubega And also, you know, like success is in wells. Isaac was here a little while ago So, you know, we we know that, you know, we're from different Cultures different nations and maybe even within our own nation like zealotoli from the way up north and And all of us, you know, in different places. So we, you know, our cultures might be different and So it may not directly apply, you know, this thing of parental control, but But that's a sign to watch out for, you know So I'm just we're just looking into that and the other thing could also be parental dependence Right. Um, hey, shall we, you know, shall we go here? Let me ask my parents, you know, so Hey, but, you know, you're you're an adult now You know, I just want to ask my parents just in case, you know, I want to make sure that they are okay Um, you know, that now that's again Going to be a problem if there's a lot of dependence and attachment Uh, to the parents now again, we need to honor our parents We need to respect our parents just because we are married doesn't mean that we are totally cut away. Okay, but We need to understand that The person whom we are married to or considering marriage Considering being married to should not be dependent on the parents for each and everything, you know Emotional dependence or maybe financial dependence or maybe, you know, other things If you're going to be totally dependent for each and everything, then now that's going to create A problem, right? That means that the person maybe Is not emotionally strong enough emotionally mature to handle Marriage or get into marriage Okay now uh One more. Okay, so While we are considering all this and saying, okay, now I need to make a decision It's so we can obviously, uh, you know, I'm talking to single people you can definitely get the council of parents Right. Sometimes we think, oh, what do they know? Right. What do they know? They don't know about my life times have changed and you know, um But the thing is they can give a perspective about that person they can read Uh, you know that person whom we are considering and then they can look at certain aspects certain characteristics Of that person that we we might totally miss out completely miss out Okay, completely get blindsided by either by our emotions or by you know, whatever We didn't even look at it, but then parents can do that or spiritual mentors You know some elders they can give that perspective. Maybe they meet maybe they You know, uh get to hear about Notice what the person is doing and then they can give a perspective. So do they did they observe anything that was off? Did they observe anything that was uh, that could be a potential problem? Right. Um, so they could do that. Okay. So, you know, many times when you look at these questions, you know It might seem like are we overthinking this, you know, our parents didn't they didn't go through all this Uh, but I want to remind us that you know, the the society that we are living in the times that we are living in Is is way way complex, right? And also there's a lot of influence From media that we have been exposed to that, you know, that generation or the two generations earlier Did not have, you know, all that they grew up in was pretty much, you know This is what the friend circle is what is happening and that was it now there's so much of Uh, so much of so many voices You know, they're dictating stating, uh, this is how, you know, you keep your expectation should be Okay, like perfect bodies and perfect, uh, you know, perfect vacations and perfect pictures and perfect places and everybody's like Having that expectation. Oh, if it's if it's a marriage, it should be like this. If it's something out of it That is not Okay, so so there's a lot of you know, this kind of information, um coming at us And so we it's important and also different kinds of definitions definition of marriage definition of Husband definition of how the wife should be. So it's it's important that we look into the world and not lose that biblical perspective And and and look into all these aspects and prepare oneself Right for marriage. So that's why we are looking into it. It's not a question of overthinking or complicating things But really, you know, looking at all these different aspects and of being prepared for marriage, okay okay, so so the thing is If you're so we looked at all these red flags, um, you know these signals these signs to watch out for um And also, you know for us to reflect If you're a single person to reflect and say, okay, what would your what would you like? Yeah, the person that you're considering to be a spouse, what would you Like that person to be right What are some qualities that you are looking for? And prayfully consider that, you know The thing is it's it's not like, uh, okay god, what do you want? God is looking at you saying and saying, you know, what is on your heart? Right. He's given you the power of choice He's put in you certain desires and it's not like if you you know, if you Like if you if you if you want to, you know, wear a particular type of clothes or clothes or you know If you if you want to eat a particular kind of thing, you know, god's not going to say, okay That's not my will. That's not my desire. He's given you Right. He's given us The power of choice and also certain, you know, the way he's created us and designed as we have certain likes and dislikes So what are those characteristics that you like in a person? right To be your life partner. So It's good to list that It so in listing that, you know, you get an understanding. Okay Is this is this something that really matters? Is this something that's important? Now, maybe, you know, we've never thought on those lines Right. We've never thought. Okay. I want my life partner to be like this Maybe we've never thought you know, we've been thinking about all other things and Maybe this whole thing of marriage and everything was just in the back burner And suddenly we are studying about marriage and family in valuable college and maybe we never even thought of those things Right. So it's good to think. Okay. If I want my person to be, you know, a life partner Um, if I'm considering someone, you know, what are those characteristics? Okay. What are those qualities? um question number two You know, what are my expectations of marriage? What do I expect marriage to be? I remember these questions, you know, I found it difficult to answer because it was like, um I'd never thought of it Right. So when we had when I had my, um, I went through this marriage preparation time Uh, I found it. Okay. First time I'm encountering these questions. So I really had to think And uh, okay, what is it? I really need to get in touch with myself, you know, ask myself, okay, what is it that you want? Um, okay, what are your expectations? What kind of a home and family would you like to, you know, Build or come home to right? Um being practical and realistic now the thing is when we answer these questions we can be get very we can get very very idealistic uh, and So things to be realistic, you know, um, this is how we practically Okay, another question. What traits and qualities can I bring Into the marriage very important right, what are those traits? What are those qualities that? Me as a person me as a spouse, what what is it that I can bring? Okay, uh into the marriage so Well, I can bring stability. I can bring provision provide um, I can bring, you know, uh, maybe joy and laughter and I can be understanding I can bring patience. Uh, these are things that I've been blessed with and you know to think on those lines What can I bring into the marriage for the benefit of my spouse? Not always thinking about what that person can bring into my life Right to think what what can I bring into uh marriage? Okay, another question. How can I help towards building my marriage and building a home? Um, how can I how can I help towards that? Okay, no, these are my expectations This is how I want the marriage to be. This is what I want. I want to have the I want the home to be Good expectations practical expectations real expectations, right fine now What can I do? What is what is my contribution towards it? Like what can I bring? How can I build That or Satisfy that expectation. What can I bring? Okay? So some of these questions it'll be good if We can take some time if you can take some time to answer. Okay for those of us who are married It'll be like a reflection. Okay. Now I'm married Now I want My marriage to be like this Right um, and my expectation is lying home My family It should be in this way. So What can I do? What can I bring? Okay, so those are questions that um That we can answer if if for those of us who are married Okay, let me look I'm going to look I'm going to look at a very important A question which is Let's say You know, there is a proposal that came Um, I'm I'm you know, I'm talking when I say proposal, of course For an Indian in an Indian context, it would make sense, right? You know, or maybe you know, there's someone who who who was interested And who said that they were interested in getting married and but you for whatever reason Okay, uh, you just said no okay so You know, maybe there's a question in your mind saying, okay, I said no to that proposal. I said no to that person now I didn't consider God. I didn't consider any of these things and I just said no Now do I have to remain single all my life? You know, maybe that was the person that God brought And I said no and therefore since I said no Uh, do I have to remain single all my life because I said no to that person God brought okay, so in other words, you know, is there Just one person in my life one person that God Wants me to marry Of course, God wants me to marry one But if I miss out on that If I miss the bus Is there another bus that is coming my way that I can reach the same destination? Right, so that's the that's the question, you know, so Let's try and answer that okay, and we can look at Genesis 24 This whole instance normally, you know in engagements And and also weddings normally engagements, you know, when there's a formal engagement people normally share from this Genesis 24 about Isaac and Rebecca and how I you know, Abraham sent servant to find An ideal bride for his for his son, so we see that right? So let's look at Genesis 24 And versus one two in your notes. You have that whole, um, you know the whole Scripture portion there. It's in the good news version, but uh, yeah, I just want to Let's let's read that. Okay Now Abraham was very old and the Lord has had blessed him in everything he did He said to his oldest servant who was in charge of all that he had place your hand between my thighs and make a valve That's the you know, customary time of What do you call a symbolic way of saying okay making a vow of those times So I want to I want you to make a vow in the name of the Lord The God of heaven and earth that you will not choose a wife for my son From the people here in canon, so Abraham did not want any of the canonites Um, you know to be potential bride for his son So said you might go back to the country where I was born and get a wife for my son Isaac from among my relatives, but the servant asked what if The young woman will not leave home to come with me to this land Shall I send your son back to the land where you came from? Abraham answered make sure that you do not Send my son back there The Lord the God of heaven brought me from the home of my father and from the land of my relatives And he solemnly promised me that he would give this land to my descendants He will send his angel before you so that you can get a wife there for my son If the young woman is not willing to come with you You will be free from this promise But you must not under any circumstances take my son back there So the servant Put his hand between the thighs of Abraham his master and made a vow to do what Abraham had asked The servant who was in charge of Abraham's property took ten of his master's camels and went to the city Where may her had lived in northern Mesopotamia When he arrived he made the camels kneel down at the well outside the city It was late afternoon the time when women came to get water He prayed Lord God of my father master Abraham Give me success today and keep your promise to my master Here I am at the well where the young women of the city will be coming to get water I will say to one of them Please lower your jar and let me have a drink if she says drink and I will also bring water for your camels May she be the one that you have chosen for your servant Isaac If this happens, I will know that you have kept your promise to my master Before he had finished praying Rebecca arrived and we know you know all that happened, right? so so he's on this important journey and he's He's there to get a bride for a choose a bride for his master's son Isaac okay, so if we look at verse Five, you know, he asks a very important question to Abraham. So he asks about you know, what if He's asked what if We this situation is not ideal Okay, what if okay, I go there You're sending me. I need to find this person. Okay. I narrow down to the one Okay, but what if she does not agree? What if she does not say yes to this proposal? Right And and then Can he says, you know, can I send your son back to the land so that he can find someone there? Okay, so Abraham says no don't send my son and he says, you know, if You're free from this promise Okay, if this does not happen So there was we're looking at verse eight, right if the young woman is not willing Okay, so if she's if she doesn't say yes to this proposal You know, you're free from this promise. So they're looking at that option where it's not like uh Well, there is this one And if we if that person says no for whatever reason then that is it that's the end of the matter Right. So there is this possibility that Rebecca could have said no She could have said no right Because why? She's a human She's been given free will She has the ability to make a choice make a decision And she has likes and dislikes fears expectations all that She could have very well said no And there is that possibility Of Rebecca saying no Okay but he in head down we prayed and You know, it was 15. I think it is so where it says that Before he finished speaking off in his spring Rebecca was there and says that Uh, then the whole thing like that we have they have that conversation was 17 And and we know what happens like it's exactly like he prayed. So now, um Okay, he he wanted to He wanted the Lord's guidance Okay so that's the thing that we notice here he and in a and We know that progressive revelation, you know, which is studying in You know, homiletics about hermeneutics. Sorry the fact that okay according to what he knew according to what his understanding Of God or a relationship with God was he he said, okay God This is how I will know That this is the girl Okay, so we don't have to use the same yardstick. Okay, she'll be wearing this or he'll be wearing this He'll be you know, we don't have to do that. Right. We have the word of God for You know the kind of person that we have the word of God We which which describes the desires of God the will of God, etc. And we have also God's spirit to lead us oops Sorry to lead us and to to guide us to make that choice. Okay, so we we We have the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit as believers. Okay, so so he Does this he says, okay, if if the if the girl You know gives me water and gives the camels also water then I will know that this is the girl Okay, and which she which he does. Okay now the thing is uh Okay, he dependent on God for guidance and the second thing is he gives the choice to the girl and to the family Okay, so that is something that we see here Right So after the introductions said um He said blessed be verse 27 and he said Blessed be the lord god of his Of my master, Abraham was not forsaken mercy and truth as for me being on my way The lord led me to the house of my master's brethren uh, and then she goes and she uh informs the family and uh verse 30 um It was 30 if you read and it came to pass when he when he saw the nose ring and the bracelets on his sister's wrist And he heard the words of his sister rebecca saying thus the man spoke to me That he went to the man and they uh, you know stood by the camels and said come Oh, blessed of the lord. Why do you stand outside and so on so she basically you know is the In the conversation and in the you know all those things that he had given the choice for rebecca And he's given the choice for rebecca's family to decide Okay, so that is that's the second thing that we see here. Okay, so Uh, it is not as if he said, okay, I've seen the sign This is the sign that I asked for Um, god has led me. This is the girl And he did not say okay god has promised god has uh this thing. So therefore You need to agree no matter what you need to agree. This is the will of god This is the promise of god God has guided and so you need to You need to agree You know, so he did not use any kind of manipulation spiritual manipulation um And in any way he did not You know, he did not use that To force them to come to a decision Right, we see that also just left the choice Right And and this was the response, you know, they said Um, uh, laban and bethwell answered since this matter comes from the lord. It is not for us um To make a decision Okay, um, so that is their response if you look at verse 49 says now if you intend to fulfill your Responsibility towards my master and treat him fairly, please tell me if not Say so and I will decide what to do Okay, so he did not impose on them Because he had seen very clearly. This is what happened. He prayed he asked god and this is what god led So the sign is very clear, but he yet he gave the choice to them. Okay, so these are lessons for us to learn Lessons for us to you know apply. Okay So we know that Rebecca had to make a choice and rebecca made a choice. Okay, let's look at the Verse 57 Okay, they answered Let's call her and find out what she has to say So they are called rebecca and asked do you want to go with this man? Okay, yes, she answered so they let rebecca and her old family Servant go with abraham's servant and his man Yeah, so a big rebecca very clearly she Made a decision she made a choice and she went Okay, so so the question is okay if rebecca had said no despite all that leading and guidance Was that the end of End of the road for isek Okay, so that's the question right? Is that the end of the road for isek? Yeah, does isek have to remain single. What do you think? Anyone, what do you think? Okay, let me ask a few people Okay, liya lama What do you think? Okay zealotoli Okay, I know he has a free will to choose. Okay, so isek has a free will So he can choose So so the thing is this, you know that No matter what You know how we come You know arrive at that choice and of course we need to be led by god. We need to Um, you know understand all this and have the right reason For getting married and and our hate expectation, etc. You know Well, we need to understand that Well, god will lead us god will guide us And it's ultimately You know finally we have to make a choice The other person has to make a choice And if we choose differently Okay, we say okay god, you know I'm saying no Maybe it was fear. Maybe it was Whatever, you know, we maybe it was a mistake You made it That's not the end of Our life or that's not the end of the story right Well God would Lead us to another person. But the important thing is this you know when we make a decision We will have to work at Building a marriage We wouldn't need to invest. We would need to do our bit We would need to do our bit and preparing and doing a bit in in that marriage Okay, so Even if the person, okay, even if there's let's say in this case, like, um, like God led we we we obeyed Ideal situation, right? We are we're saying yes. The person also said yes In such a marriage also One has to prepare one has to work at it Okay, now that's the truth. That's reality Okay The reason being this whatever we studied, you know People are different people come from different backgrounds different expectations, etc So one has to work at making the marriage work In building and making it great. One has to do that um So god leads us So the conclusion is that god leads us to the well, he will lead us to the most suitable person. He will lead us To you know, he'll give us those options But ultimately, you know, we pray prayerfully We pray them, you know for the heart of god for the mind of god and then we make a choice And since it involves the will of two people here Right, uh, it involves the will of two people here. So that does not mean that You know god has only one person And if you miss that That's the end Okay, so I know, you know, that's a school of thought right God has because we we say, you know, god has a person prepared for you And even as you are being prepared, you know, god is preparing that person And uh, and then many times we put ourselves under a lot of pressure. Oh man, what if this person and what if I miss if I If I miss out, you know, that's going to be that's going to be the end. No That's not the end Understand that The choice you make, you know, you need to work at the marriage, you know, that's the bigger picture Okay, so making the choice is important Definitely making the right choice, you know, leaning on god leaning on, you know, all that we saw, you know, getting godly counsel very important but The most important thing is that you need to work at a work in Work at making the marriage great. Okay, that's your responsibility. Okay, then the other thing that we need to Also understand is um that That god honors our decision in marriage Okay, so meaning that you've come you've uh, you know, you've made a decision And you're you decided to get married and you do so You make your vows you make uh to covenant one with one another god honors that Right, and the thing is this, you know, you're going ahead and and you are You know making covenant with god as witness So god honors that right, so So we need to honor Uh our vows our covenant that we have made In the presence of god, okay So it's not just about Finding the right person It's not just about being the right person right it's uh, it's about uh working daily day-to-day basis And in walking through the vows that we have made The covenant that we have made Right, so while it's important to find while it's important to be right person, you know It is important to work out or walk out the covenant meaning practically live out The covenant that we have made Each and every day of our lives in marriage. Okay, so that's the bigger picture Right, that's the important thing No, that's a more important thing. I would say right. Okay. Any questions here Any doubts here? um Yeah, okay, jeffina Okay, jeffina is right here. She put her hand Yeah, jeffina you want to put on the chat or you want to ask? Okay Yeah Okay Yeah, so good question. So In the case of adam and eve, you know, there are no other choices It was just adam and eve, right? so There's no evangel in to consider So there was you know, it was just adam and eve. Okay, so that was uh, so it's things were simple and that's the thing so Like while we while we say, you know, I know in a manner of speaking we say, okay I found my missing rib Right in the in the in my in the spouse who my matter to I found my missing there about a fine You know something in a manner of speaking we say that because it's uh, you know, he's a he's a right person. We found and we So, um, we use that well Scripturally, uh, there's not a validity, you know to that I think as a manner of speaking it's we can use it There's nothing wrong in it. But um, but when we look at it, uh, we look at it scripturally. We see that well Uh, you know, we look at all these possibilities. No like what if What if the person did not make a choice, uh, you know, despite everything being right? What if the person just You know, um, show someone else, you know, so is that the missing rib, you know So all these things so, um, so like I would say, you know, yes It's fine. I you know, it's it's it's nice when you when you meet the right person Then you make the right choice and then I mean you just say You know, uh, that's that's a missing rib. I found what was missing, you know, that person Uh fills that that place in my life and and that's that's great But I don't think we can go beyond that. I always should go beyond that Yeah, correct Okay, any other question, um Any other question Yeah, okay, Anita, you know Yeah Many people ask me this What is the right time to Look that choice like right age to make that choice that that person is for you or He's the one or she's the one Okay, so what what is the right time to get married? Is that their question? Right age to get married Right age or right, uh, right time to make the decision of That choice, I mean, yeah Yeah, what is the thing so, uh, I mean we can look at it, you know, several ways, you know, like we we look at these areas of compatibility so spiritually And also the seven areas that we looked at, you know, so to see You know, am I Developed in these areas, you know, am I able am I ready to handle this? Uh response because sometimes people are not ready They're not ready and they have a terrible time You know, uh, just and it really breaks them people are not ready. So, um, am I ready financially? Am I ready emotionally? Am I ready relationally? Am I ready? You know, you know, even physically. So that's the thing. That's why we have that age. So in all these Uh areas, you know, like like maybe, you know, certain countries have Uh, a statutory age. Okay beyond this age you get legal age for marriage Right 21 or for the mail and and so on. So, um, so Are we developing all these ways? Right. So that's the that's the thing, right? Um, but beyond that, you know, for a believer I think it makes sense. You know, is the person Ready person Spiritually also is the person ready for a commitment Is the person ready for for the responsibility? It's it's a responsibility. It's a privilege It's a responsibility. It's a it's a commitment So is the person ready in all these ways is the person mature And ready for this So some of these readiness could be just a practical aspect of it. Hey, do I have enough money to run a household? You know, it seems like It seems great to know we didn't have any money, but we still got married. But then there's a lot of stress Like so the practical thing is okay. Do I have a work? Do I have a job? And I employed to take care of my bills not to take care of Running a household. Um, so those kind of very practical, uh questions also to consider and say, okay If I'm ready then, um, then I can go ahead and do it Thank you Okay, so said can is a question is okay. What are your views on inter-religious marriage intercast marriage from the biblical perspective? Bible is very clear About inter-religious in the sense you're coming from a different world view. Okay Um, so it's it when I say when you say inter-religious, it's it's more about okay Am I a believer or not a believer? All right, uh, that's the thing. I might have been born in a different faith But am I a believer or not a believer? I think that's the very important question. So Uh, Bible is very clear. Uh, do not be Uh unequally yoked to an unbeliever. So that's I think that covers everything Right, uh, so that's the thing and then when it comes to inter-cast marriage Uh, I think caste is a man made issue Right is a man made problem. Uh, and uh, so the bible does not say anything about that Right, so so the bible gives that broad thing. Do not be unequally yoked to an unbeliever. So if it's a believer Then yes, you can go ahead But we are also looking at these aspects, right today compatibility on all these various fronts So so that is a biblical perspective. I said, you know Okay, okay. So, uh, 1050 will stop here and then we'll take a break Um And continue next class. Okay. Thank you. You got this
