RELATIONSHIP: WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER BEFORE ENTERING RELATIONSHIP.
FALL IN LOVE BUT USE YOUR BRAIN
Before you start a relationship, you must think carefully about what you are about to do. A relationship is not something you should rush into or handle lightly.
Are you ready for relationship with him/her? Are you
emotionally, mentally and spiritually mature to meet his/her needs?
Being sexually attracted to her means absolutely
nothing. It isn’t a sign of likeness, love or any other thing your mind may
come up with. It may just be your hormones messing with your mind.
A woman is more than her body and her sexuality; she
has a life which you should be able to blend with. Can you do that?
This lady/guy has a history, can you handle it? He/she
has a past, can you handle it? Can you handle his/her mistakes, failures and weaknesses?
Can you handle his/her dreams without being intimidated and becoming jealous? He/she
already had a life before she met you can you fit into and help improve his/her
life?
Love is
commitment; are you ready to commit your life to helping him/her grow and
become all that he/she can be, by God’s grace? Is he/she valuable enough for
you to devote a large portion of your life towards the accomplishment of
his/her dream? Are you ready to pour your resources into making her all the
Lord plans for her to be? If you are not ready, don’t just bother.
Before you open your mouth to say ‘I love you’, ask
yourself if this is not just a moment of ‘emotional madness’. A lady needs much
more than ‘I love you’. She needs your commitment. If you are not ready to make
that commitment that will lead to marriage, please leave him/her alone in peace
and stop wasting her time.
THINK VERY WELL
BEFORE YOU SAY YES
If you are courting, discuss with your partner what
kind of job he/she wants to do. Is it the kind of job that will keep him living
in hotels all over more than living at home? Are you prepared for that? How
will you bring balance into it? How will you reconcile your careers with the well-being
of the marriage? Have you discussed and come to a conclusion that the most important
thing in your marriage is firstly your love for God and then your love for your
spouse? Do a lot of brainstorming. Let your goals and dreams be aligned. Don’t
enter a relationship like a sheep being led to the slaughter all in the name of
love! Wake up to reality.
Before you married the sailor or the pilot, are you aware
he would be gone most of the time? Don’t fall
in love to the extent that
you cannot make use of
your brain! There are people who will marry a sailor and they are okay with
it and will cope with it, but what about you that have always wanted your
husband to be around you all the time?
Think
wise
