tungulo: Hi ! I am very simple,understanding,loving,sociable,quiet and fearing the God. I am looking confidently for my life partner from around the world who is just one words- honest and fearing the God. Where is my life partner ? Can anyone be ?
Honey, you may want to make some changes in your profile. The title of this thread states that you are LOOKING FOR A REAL LIFE PARTNER yet in your profile you have chosen among others, NOT LOOKING, IN A RELATIONSHIP. I don't get it. Someone in a relatioship will not come to you and will say NO when or if you approach them.

I think you must have been looking at someone elses. Mine doesn't say that at all

Ooooooopsssss
Stress does that to me... Maybe I need some wine haha
Laura25: Beats me 'why'... sounds very odd indeed,
and I disagree with term 'respectful fear',
'respect' has nothing to do with 'fear'
and
'fear' is not 'respect' by any means, IMO.But it's irrelevant... In this thread OP is stating what he is looking for. If that's what he wants and needs, he says so... and I wish him luck in finding it.
I think the term "God Fearing" is a colloquialism for having a profound belief in God that seems to come from the stricter Christian sects (or maybe the Spanish Inquisition?, LOL). It seems to be much more common in older English texts than it is in the common vernacular today, which can make it seem a bit out of place. However, someone who may not have English as a first language could very possibly latch onto that term through reading and apply it even if it's not the most apt for one's belief system.
It seems to be directed toward the fire and brimstone flavors of Christianity, which are rapidly falling out of favor today.
At least that's my take on it. I've given some thought to the phrase in the past because I found it a bit curious, too, when encountering it.

Don't despair Tungulo, keep looking, she must be out there somewhere! In the meantime if you have the phrase "God fearing" anywhere on your profile....I'd advise you strongly to change it!
