3 Truths That Will Guide You In Relationships And Marriage

1. Relationship or marriage does not succeed just because you are a child of God

Yes, and I mean every word of that statement. Just because you are a child of God or you can speak in tongues does not mean you understand how to accommodate another human being in your life!

You can be a child of God and still be ignorant of the principles to live. It is therefore important to note that going after knowledge and self-development is important.

Make it a commitment to do yourself that good. Decide to improve yourself. You want to get married in two years; the question is what books are you reading in that regard? What is your temperament? Someone was once asked what her temperament was and she said, do you mean all those “sardine tins?” Well, it is not “sardine,” it’s sanguine!

Relationship and marriage succeeds because you work at it and you work the godly principles.

2. Being in love with a person does not translate to direction from God

You can fall in love with someone and yet it is not God’s plan for your life. The direction of your feelings and emotions is not necessarily a direction from God.  Yes, God can use your desires to lead you and that is why I often tell people, make sure you pray before you fall in love!

Once you are in love before praying, it can really be a difficult time hearing God because your emotions are involved. There is a difference between asking God for direction and asking Him to bless your decision.

3. You will fall in love with whomever you spend time

If you don’t want to become emotionally connected to that person, don’t spend time with such person. You know that his wife has traveled, and then you go and spend hours with him regularly? Doing what?

You see, the flames of emotions are going to be fanned and if you are not careful, you are going to be getting involved in what you will regret later. A married person is a “No Go” area, so why waste your time, emotions and energy on relationships that God will never approve? Why delay what God wants to do in your life with what you feel like doing?
