Choosing A Spouse/Rashea@LLO2 Academy
When you are dating, ask yourselves why are we dating? Some people date on the basis of physical attraction and some level of chemistry. Those are important qualities in a relationship, but they should not be the basis of your relationship alone.
What's your purpose? Is God involved? Where does the conversation end and begin?
If you are saved and the conversation is always centered around having sex, then you are in the wrong relationship. A healthy and godly relationship cannot be based on sex alone, especially if you are not married. I personally don't condemn or condone sex before marriage, I just encourage you to read the Scriptures for yourself.
What you decide to do is between you and God. But I will say this... If you decide to do so... you might feel a level of uneasiness after the fact, because it is sin (1Corinthians 6).
My advice is this... If you both mutually know that you want to spend the rest of your lives together, then get married and feel free to have at it.🤭 At least you know you did it right before God and have nothing to feel guilty about.
Intimacy is important but so is your purpose. Your lives should be connected together through your purpose both individually and together. Purpose strengthens your intimacy in and out of the bedroom.
Come on. We have to talk about. This topic in my opinion is not for young people under 13. But, yes. Please allow your 13 year olds to hear what we are saying one this important topic, because they are listening to and seeing a lot of wrong things through the media and the music that is distorting their views on marriage and dating done the right way, God's way.
The older generation believed that you should just get married without dating. I don't agree with that.🙄 I believe you should date your partner before you marry them, it's just how you date them that matters.
You will forever learn new things about your spouse, but you should have some level of knowledge of the person you are dating. Who wants to marry a stranger?😳 That is not okay.🤚🛑
Dating your partner can be and should be fun, taking seriously and be a mutual connection all at the same time. Take your partner seriously but mutually have fun together. Date one another long after you say I do.
Your spouse or partner should be your best friend and they should always remain that. Don't just be married. Be the best of friends. Be involved and support each other's dreams and goals.
Be the partner or spouse that shows up and goes hard with them. You got their back and they have your back. Your face and your words should be the very things infused inside their soul. When they think of you they should see a source of optimism and loyalty.
Keep God in your relationship. Pray with and for your partner and yourself. Pray for direction, peace, purpose, unity and understanding.
These are essential qualities needed throughout your journey togerher, because challenges and victories will occur, but neither challenges or victories should be a means to pull you apart. They should make you even closer. Be a team. Win together, and fight for one another.
Evolve with one another. Learn from one another. Laugh together and compliment the other regularly.
Say thank you. Tell your partner you love them and show them how much you love them. Don't take them for granted. Don't just let the rings display commitment. Let your actions and words display your love and commitment.
