Why are you in a relationship? 1 Cor 10:31 says whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Is God getting any glory in your relationship. If you are fornicating, depending on the other person more than God, then God is not getting any glory. We were made to glorify God. In all our ways we should acknowledge and glorify God.
When you are in a relationship there should be a purpose. The intention to get married should be at the back on your mind. If you do not see yourself marrying that person why are you wasting precious time texting, calling and hanging out with that person. I am 21 years old and have gone on only one date, People will find that shocking especially since I am in America. The culture says otherwise. Our standards as Christians should be the word of God(Holy Bible). Stop wasting your time, minutes,seconds and years on guys you see no future with.
In this century people say they are dating for fun or just pasting time. How can telling somone your thoughts, plans and dreams be fun and they have no business in it. You are being deceived all that time you could have spent reading your Bible, learning a new hobby, learning to cook, and so many other fun things. The problem with it is people claim is for fun but they are worried about what the boy/girl is doing. They are lurking on instagram pages, snooping through phone or asking people about the person's whereabouts lol. People who are already in a relationship. Examine it. Are you in the relationship because you are afraid to be alone, have low self-esteem issues or for fun. Everything we do will be judged by God.
Ecc. 12:14
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing,whether it is good or evil.
When you stand before God what will you say about your relationship? It is for your own good to end a relationship with no purpose. You are building up so much baggage for your future husband/wife. You will start having trust issues and so many other issues people deal with because they were in meaningless relationships. I thank God I did not deal with this issue but I see so many people going down this route.
Some people may say I do not believe in marriage. I am sorry you don't. It is a beautiful thing but society has turned it into crap. Africans use it as a means to an end. Marrying girls to pay off debt,boys/girls marrying because the girl is pregnant which would not have happened if they feared God/ loved Him and obeyed his commandments. There are so many other reasons. Some people use the biological clock thing. They assume "I am not getting any younger and rush into marriage. If you truly know who you serve the beginning and the end that should not be an issue. Sarah had a baby at what age? No one should rush into marriage with the wrong person and have to deal with the consequences. Americans use it as a publicity stunt or for security like health insurance and life insurance or whatever. If you read your Bible and ask God for understanding you will see why Eve was created for Adam. She was a helper. She was needed. Do not be in a relationship where you do no feel needed. If you are needed, is the man/woman godly? I do not mean does He/She go to church or believe Jesus Christ died on the cross? No I mean a man/woman after God's heart. They work daily to deny their self and take up the cross of Jesus. They show love and other fruits of the spirit(Gal.5:22). They care about winning souls for Christ and so many other good stuff. The person is bold, confident and prayerful.
Ladies and gentleman evaluate your relationship and if you are not in one like me keep waiting on God. He has someone special for you. Trust in the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly you will not regret it. Heaven and earth will pass away but God's words will never pass away.Matt 24:35
Love this post our generation needs it. It makes me think back to when i did get into a relationship which was set to doom from the start. I thank God for me listening then n my eyes opening now that i am not interested in relationship unless i am ready to marry you. Looking to others n ignorance drags pple down the wrong path but i pray they see the light n just wait. AMEN Gods way is the best way.
