> Is giving or having one of those smiles which mean so much more good or bad?

Good.

> Does it disappear after marriage?

I think it does if you're lusting after your spouse and your relationship isn't utterly screwed. (Also maybe if you're some kind of porn freak and you see him/her in those terms.)

> Is it o.k. to lust after your wife/future wife/girlfriend?

Try not to worry about it unless you think it's making you act or think wrongly about them?

> How do you stop a thought when your asleep?

You can't - guilt about this is clearly false guilt. This should help us to understand that we can have false guilt about this topic and therefore we shoulf carefully examine any guilt to see whether it is conviction from God or false. Presumably praying about it would help.

> When does emotion turn from good to bad? Or is it neutral?

I think emotion is neutral, but a lot of things cause emotions, and they are not all neutral. E.g. lust can cause emotion.

I think what I am trying to suggest is that if we try to have a good relationship with God, spend time with him and think about what he wants for our lives, we will know what is ok and what isn't.
