Before you date somebody, ask yourself:
1. Am I free to be who I am?
If you have to reinvent yourself to keep somebody happy, you’re in the wrong relationship. If they disapprove of you now, do you seriously think marriage will improve things? Not a chance!
2) Is the relationship based on honesty?
The Bible talks about ‘telling each other the truth’. Relationships thrive on openness and trust. When deceit creeps in, it’s time to get truthful in a hurry or call it quits.
Now the Ultimate One.
3) Is this person possessive or controlling?
If so, it’s a red flag. The Bible says, ‘Love is … never jealous’ (1 Corinthians 13:4 CEV). If you can’t make a move without the other person’s permission, you need to back off and re-evaluate the relationship.
4) How are we spending our time together?
Without a plan, it’s easy to get more physically involved than you should. That’s why it’s good to agree up front about establishing boundaries.
Keep God in your relationship and you won’t go wrong.
‘Let God speak to you in everything you do … he’s the one who will keep you on track.’
All the Best.
