Okay just updated my profile 09/22/26. Greetings daughters of the most High King Yeshua. I am still waiting for them to call from this app to verify everything so I can move forward on here. In the meantime, just reading profiles and sending a few winks etc. I love to write so let’s see where this goes. I’ve been online for about a month at other websites and so many scammers so hoping this one is better. Here are some things that are deal breakers and what I am looking for in someone. This way, we can avoid starting something that will not work. First of all, no games just be honest because the lies will come out at some point anyway. I am looking for a woman of God who believes the Bible over man’s traditions. I need someone that is affectionate and nurturing since I have 3 children still at home but know that my spouse will be put first because that is God's truth. If you want more children or you have children under the age of 4th grade, I am not interested.
The next part I am trying to word in a way that does not come across dishonorable. As a pastor I spent much time in Vietnamese churches as well as some time with people from Cambodia so I know something about honor, plus the Bible is written from an honor/shame cultural view. I know in some Filipino families they believe that if you were to marry me then I will support your extended family. I do not believe the same way. I am not jn a position to do so right now nor do I want to, but I am okay financially. I would love to meet your family and will care about your family, but it is not our responsibility to take care of everyone, as I don’t take care of my extended family here. And just so there is no doubt, I love family as God has ordained. I also helped raise my niece and my mom lives next-door so it’s not that I don’t love family but we may see that matter differently. We have our own family to take care of first.
I do not want anyone that vapes or smokes, or drinks regularly. I drink a glass of wine occasionally but nothing excessive. I am looking for a petite or slender woman since I am slender/athletic myself. I like to work out, eat healthy and take care of my health. I love to laugh, maybe a bit of sarcasm sprinkled in. I truly believe that marriage is God-ordained and that it is a covenant, not to be broken except under extreme circumstances. I am affectionate, will be a gentleman as I was raised, will own my mistakes if I mess up and apologize. Most arguments are unnecessary and communication and humility will clear it up. I also believe we should not go to bed angry but work things out as mature and God-fearing adults. I am very loyal and I hate fake, really I just can't do fake. We need to be real and we also don't have to be offended by so many things in life. Life is complicated enough in our sinful state without adding to it. Life is a daily decision to choose God and choose your spouse even if you don't feel like it based on fleeting emotions or life's circumstances. Walk in repentance and forgiveness. Love God, love others is the greatest commandment.
I am a single dad for over 4 years now and is divorced after my ex left me and the kids after 21 years of marriage. I will never cheat especially since I know how it feels to go through this. I will never lay a hand on you to hurt you and I will not yell at you. I want my partner for life until death do us part. I am ready to start dating again, getting to know someone that is interested in getting married and moving to the states. I am in sales and I also work at the school as a sub and tutor, and currently going back to school to be a teacher full time, preferably to teach bible and theology at a private school or university. I was a bi-vocational pastor for 17 years and love the Word of God more than ever. So if you want to know more, let's talk. Have a blessed day in the LORD.
