Some Realities About Dating and Marriage
1. Being a child of God does not automatically guarantee success in a romantic relationship or marriage.
Indeed, that is a very valid point. The fact that you are a child of God and that you have the ability to speak in tongues does not mean that you are equipped with the discernment necessary to deal with another person in your life.
You can be a child of God while at the same time being completely oblivious to the fundamentals of human interaction. This is one reason why it’s necessary to work on one’s own personal development and seek out new knowledge.
You plan to tie the knot by the end of the third quarter of this year; how many books on marriage preparation have you read?
Make the decision to better and improve yourself.

2. Just because you fell in love with another person does not indicate that God led you to that person.
It’s possible to develop feelings for another person even if God has other plans for your life. It’s possible that the way you feel for that individual is not necessarily how God wants you to respond.
Yes, God can guide you in the direction of your aspirations, but you need to make sure you are being led in that direction before you allow yourself to fall in love.
Hearing God gets more challenging once feelings are involved.

3. You will develop romantic feelings for whoever you spend the most time with.
It is hilarious when a woman claims that she does not like a guy, but she still hangs out with that guy. The more time you invest in a relationship with another person, the more emotionally linked you will feel to that individual.
Don’t even entertain the thought of hanging out with a married individual. It’s been designated as a ‘No Go’ zone.
I pray for you, God will favor you. His compassion will lead him to you. The spirit of procrastination is cursed. Your husband will find you and bring you back. You will eventually locate your bride.
