I love to share...
This worship service that I go to on Wednesday nights is doing a series on "Love, Sex, Marriage...and everything in between" for the month of February. Last night Ben talked about dating and made some really good points. I thought I would share:)
1. It's not so much about having a checklist that a person fits as it is about having non-negotiables (things you would never compromise on in a relationship with a person). 2 Corinthians 6:14, Hebrews 10:24, Galatians 6:7
2. Only date those you can be yourself around because eventually you're gonna have to stop acting like someone else.
3. Being yourself doesn't mean revealing everything about yourself on the first couple of dates.
4. Pace yourself in your dating life, really get to know someone... ask questions, see them in different environments, see how they are with their family, etc.
5. Get to know the person in a group environment at first so you can be more comfortable and so you can see how they interact with others.
6. Whoever you're dating is not entitled to all 24 hours of your day. Don't forget how important your time with friends is... a person should not overtake your life.
7. Glorify God in your relationship...in how you talk, how you act, how you treat the one you're with...
1 Corinthians 10:31
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
8. Never settle for less than you deserve! ... Because relationships are hard enough when you've found the right person.
...on an unrelated note... I have a new love...the band The Fray... they're so good, and i've listened to their song "over my head" on repeat all day. You should check them out! :) Have a lovely day!
