If you had a very serious decision to make concerning your life, who would you ask for advice?

Question

Who do you know that would listen and give you sound advice, having your best interest at heart?

Answer 1

God. And yes he does answer, of course its not always an answer that I want to hear.

Answer 2

I believe the best answer is to look for an older guy that had been through whatever was at issue and knew of that sort of situation from first hand experience. That is what I would do.

Answer 3

My Sister. We can talk about anything. No one knows me or my situation better than she does. My sister wouldn't hesitate to tell me exactly what she thinks.

Answer 4

I am not sure. There are people who could probably give good advice, but I don't know that I would burden them with my serious problem. Think I would try to research as much as possible about it, and make my best informed decison. This usually works about as good as any other method. If you are having a problem, you can email me and I will try to help you find out or think through whatever it might be and see if just writing it out will help you come up with an answer. Hope that helps.  

Answer 5

I pray about everything and In enough time

I am led in the direction of an answer. Never fails.

Other then that, if I want to talk it out with someone, who would have my best interest at heart, it would be my middle child (my oldest son). He is a good & we think a like. ~~~~~~

Answer 6

First of all a  Pastor and then my Mother.  She is the smartest lady I've ever known and honest too.  She would only tell me the right thing to do and then tell me to pray about it and allow God to lead me.

Answer 7

It depends on the question.  I would probably talk to my husband first and then mom and pop and if it was a medical issue I would talk to many doctors.  Listen to the advice from many who are knowledgeable in the area and make a decision based on the advice of many.

Answer 8

Husband and best friend because the would both be really honest and they want the best for me

Answer 9

My God first and then my husband. After that it would be my adult children and my 86 yr old mother.

Answer 10

I have the best friends in the world. They offer suggestions and or opinions that are not hurtful.

My family is very close and there is always one that has time to hear and to care.

Answer 11

I would ask my husband and my best friend for advice, which I would carefully consider.  Then I would make my own decision.

Answer 12

If it were that serious of a decision I don't think I would ask just one person, but rather many.

I would start with my wife, my family, my pastor and my close friends.

Answer 13

Myself. Only I know deep down what is truly best for me, but sometimes I don't listen to myself.  Then I ask God for guidance.

Answer 14

I recently had a question concerning a friend. I asked my daughter & my lover/ mate of 5 years for their advice.

Answer 15

My husband and children.  

Answer 16

I would ask my daughter. She is smart and would do her best to help me. She is 33 and I trust her even more than I do my husband and son. Poppy

Answer 17

GOD  and my mom.

Answer 18

Hello,  My wife. as my life is hers.

Answer 19

My husband.

Answer 20

I would speak to a few choice people, then make my own decision.

Answer 21

Two people - my best friend, and my attorney.          

CJ

Answer 22

No one.

Answer 23

Hi Jackie~

well, I come from a very large family and we are close.

I turn to my better half for everything and love him unconditionally and know he would give very sound advise.  

And I pray  

Answer 24

yes, yes & yes

Answer 25

Nobody.I know my own mind!

Answer 26

First of all I would pray about it.

Then I would discuss it with my spouse.

If it were going to affect the whole family (as in a move or something), I might discuss it with the kids and take their input into consideration, but wouldn't necessarily be bound by what they thought.

I wish my parents were still living, because I could usually go to them with big stuff, too.  As for others, my sister & I aren't that close, and I am the one who generally gives advice to my other relatives and friends instead of the other way around.

Answer 27

My husband or my best friend

Answer 28

I would first ask my husband and then my sister.  I would have to take into consideration that my sister is very biased about certain things though.  Then I could probably make the decision.

Answer 29

My husband my children my sisters or my brothers. Top is my husband.

Answer 30

My husband and then my children.  I would consider their advice and then make my own decision.  It depends of course, on what the decision is.

Answer 31

I would pray of course and ask for guidance. I would however, also discuss with my best friend, who is my husband, and we would pray together and make the decision together.
