"You may marry a man that is priestly in nature. He will be the most steady and easygoing of the three types, not given to extremes. The steady nature of the priest is reflected in his tendency not to make snap decisions or spend his last dime on a new idea;  nor does he try to tell other people what to do. This man is content with the wife of his youth." Debi Pearl If you marry a priest-natured man,  he won't force you to obey his will, he won't mount pressure on you in achieving some feats. He will love you to go at your pace. You will never be pres...

A day came in which her dad stopped by in her room, to tell her of a man seeking permission to court her.  She was so eager to know who the man was.

PREPARING TO BE A HELP MEET BY DEBI PEARL  THE KID'S LOVE STORY (CHAPTER 1) Moral to the story: God wants, no, He needs us to pray.  CAUTION: Don't pray amiss.  The kid's love story is that of the author herself; Debi Pearl. She had just turned 13 when she first saw her man in a program  and immediately she knew he was the right one for her. Of course the man didn't notice her not until many years later. Why would God bypass a guy of at least 21 years old, and come to a kid of 13 years old telling her he was the one she was going to marry. Sounds weird right?  God does not do anything without a reason. He is the God who knows the end, right from the beginning.  When the young Debi got home, she told her mum, and her mum began to follow her up to always pray for the man of God. The young Debi took it upon herself, praying for the man of God. She wasn't praying to be his wife, neither was she praying for him to notice her. She...
