Let's Forgive...
Malachi 4:6
And he shall turn and reconcile the hearts of the [estranged] fathers to the [ungodly] children, and the hearts of the [rebellious] children to [the piety of] their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance of the ungodly], lest I come and smite the land with a curse and a ban of utter destruction.

of virginity and relationships
Taken from Aaron Leow Thean Loon:
girls, you should always give your first time to the person who marries you, literally marry, not the kind that says he will marry you..
it always pains me to see a lot of girls get into such a bad shape when they break up with someone who took away all their "first"s....and the reasons that they gave up their first time(regardless of what actions they are) are downright silly...so here i am, trying to tell you what are guys' mentality towards relationships in general...
first of all, a gf, does not need to entertain all of her bf's sexual needs...there is no guidebook on how to be a gf that says a girl needs to do that...so girls please don't...
there are a lot of excuses a guy will make up in order to sleep with you, first of all, there's the famous "if you love me, then you'll do it for me", then there is the "since we're getting married anyway, so why wait?" PLEASE WAIT!!, and then there's also the kind where he pretends to be "kesian" and when you reject him so that you'll give in to his demands....
of course, i will have to say, a guy will always give you all the best promises or gifts when he wants something from you....he will butter you up with sweet words or treat you especially nice like a gentleman from some rom-com movies...and even after you give him your "first" time...regardless of which "first" is it with number X guys, as long as it's first between you and him, then he'll be nice to you, just for A WHILE though...after you've done that, he'll know that he's got you right by the neck...he knows that you'll stick by him no matter what, because you've given him something that you want back, but ultimately can't take back....like what people always say, the person who controls the relationship is the person who cares less...now, the guy will be the person who cares less...so he holds that power....
but i have good news for you, you need not worry, you'll find a better guy than that jerk...
secondly, if you're no longer a virgin, if you meet someone you really really do love and loves you as much after breaking up with that first jerk, if you're honest with him, if he really does love you, then he will accept you no matter who've you been, or what you've done before...but that doesn't mean that he won't feel hurt that you've lost your virginity to someone else, and although he feels that within him, he will not tell you about it, because he knows, if he discusses that with you, then you'll probably feel guilty, and he does not want you to feel that way, therefore, he would rather keep it inside him, and not say a single thing for fear of hurting you...
thirdly, many of you might think that university might be a good place and time to start trusting your partner and that you're headed for a marriage soon enough...well, there's no definition on how to measure maturity but i can tell you, most guys are still not mature when they're in uni...some never do grow up!! ahaha...(me included)
last but not least, if you feel that you've been cheated in a relationship before, not only like third party and stuff, but how the other person has treated you before...please don't dwell on it and make your own life miserable, because i can tell you, honestly, that person does not care anymore, and if you've feel what you've done has been so wrong and nothing else can undo all that you've done before, always remember that there is a GOD who loves you so so so much, and he will forgive you, only if you ask...
yes, you may not get your virginity back in this case, but if He can make you "born-again" and create the whole world, there's nothing that He cannot do...
ps: this is written by somebody else, but i've translated it and added into it a bit of my own...please share this with ppl whom you really care about...

On Being a Gentleman......(& A Lady)
These are taken from Jeff Widman's Blog:
These are most of the better responses I’ve heard in response to the two questions (generally posed to the opposite gender):
When answering these questions, it’s easier if you think in your head of a person or two who comes to mind when you think of a gentleman or a lady, and then analyze why they seem to be a gentleman or a lady.
What does the Bible say about these things?
What does it mean to be a gentleman?
————————————
A gentleman is a man–strong and a leader. Yet also gentle.
Strong hands–strength and hard-worker
Strong-willed–sticking to decisions, and not wavering, though teachable
Terry Smith once told me that he’d interacted with over a thousand men over the course of his business career, yet had met less then ten men who were truly “gentle”-”men.”
July Harmsworth (and several others since then)–”A gentleman is someone who respects my space.” (This seems to refer to both emotional and physical space.)
Allison K–”A gentleman is adventurous in a dangerous way.” (Seems reminiscent of CS Lewis’s description of Aslan: “He’s not a tame lion.”)
Many–A gentleman is aware of things to notice when to open the door, and other little things that show he cares.
Many girls–A gentleman is compassionate–truly caring about girls, but also about other men. He opens the door not to bring attention to himself as a gentleman, but because he truly cares enough to show respect.
Brittany Pinkey–”A gentleman not only helps a lady out, he also subltly communicates the he respects her ability to do things (she’s not helpless) even as he helps her out by holding open the door.”
Girls consistently reference the attitude behind as one of respect, and not so much the actual gestures, as simply the underlying attitude. Often a distinction is made between gentlemanly gestures, and a true gentleman.
Corrie Miksovsky–A gentleman listens when a lady wishes to talk.
Corrie Miksovsky–A gentleman is teachable.
Andrew Nelson–A gentleman has deep humility.
What does it mean to be a lady?
——————————-
Jeff Widman–A lady graciously allows herself to be helped, without being helpless. Not defensive about her power.
Proverbs 31:30–Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Michelle Widman–A lady is self-controlled to avoid any attempts to manipulate men and get their attention.
Elizabeth Elliot–A lady does not pursue men; she holds them at arm’s length.
Ruth in the Bible–made herself available, without necessarily pursuing
Jeff Widman–A lady respects my space, both physically (the crudest form of violation) but also emotionally.
Many–A lady has a sense of refined elegance, not weakness, but not manly power either–a delicacy in some ways.
Many–A lady is very hospitable.
Andrew Nelson–Modesty is really important for a lady; a modesty that understands beauty.
