*DAILY DEW 17/MAY/2022* *RELATIONSHIPS & CHOOSING A LIFE PARTNER* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."* (Hebrews 13: 4 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Let's continue from our yesterday's reflections. 4. Saying "I love you" is not enough. If you have prayed and/or convinced that a sister or brother is the one, proper communication is key! Haven said that, saying "I love you" may not only deficient but can be misleading too. Follow up with appropriate and of course, godly actions. Needless to re echo the cliche that "Love is not sex" (and sex is not love) But on the contrary God is love! True love emulates and promotes godliness. 5. Go beyond engaging a sister. Take steps to seek counselling, meet parents, and read relevant relationship and marriage books. Consistently take positive and reassuring steps. Don't wait for the best time, instead have a faith based plan and consistently strive to follow through! 6. Don't double date. Women have perceiving spirit. Dont keep mixing with other ladies closely and carelessly. This stage of courtship or serious relationship is not the time to be every lady's man. Don't do things that would or may strike jealousy in the heart of your partner, either as the man or woman! 7. Don't be manipulative. Don't be fond of always using, "Let's see how it goes!" to issues that calls for decisive decisions. If you are not interested, say so and mean so. If you are, say so and mean so. When you are wrong, don't find it too hard to apologize. It is better to do so, than blaming the other party is the wrong one. Don't make discordant sounds and expect your partner to understand what music you are playing! _MEDITATION:_ *"Seek more of purpose in the place of purpose, your spouse will locate you. Settle your marriage on your knees. Build character and be prayerful (2Peter 1:1- 5, 6)!"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo_Esq* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Grace_For_Accomplishments* *#Hello_May* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
