*DAILY DEW 16/MAY/2022* *RELATIONSHIPS & CHOOSING A LIFE PARTNER* (I) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Most of all, love each other as if your life depended on it. Love makes up for practically anything."* (1 Peter 4:8 (Message)) _Bible Insight:_ Let's take a quick look at certain concerns or areas that can affect positively or otherwise the turn out of a relationship, that ought to lead to marriage. 1. Not communicating seriously your intentions: This borders on defining your relationships. If as a young man, you intend to marry a lady, then don't casually suggest it. Seriously present your intentions. Be clear, direct and bold. Purposeful ladies do not enjoyed being dated/courted without their knowledge or express consent! As a young lady, do not be satisfied with suggestive conducts of a young man. Expect him to be clear about his intentions. If need be, find a way to poke his intentions. Ask questions: for instance, "where do you see this relationship/friendship leading to?" "What exactly do you hope to achieve from our friendship?" Or take a more indirect route like, "Do you think it is okay for a guy to be interested in marrying a lady and not clearly say it but they carry out suggestive conducts around the lady?" Etc 2. Consistently keep in touch: Do you limit your care and attention on the lady you expect to take you seriously to only Sundays or whenever you meet? It is not a sign of seriousness if you do so. A lady with such level of interest from a brother, is safe to assume it is a common likeness, that is not going anywhere serious. When you find a lady you have prayerfully decided to marry, whether before or after communicating your intention, practice consistent keeping in touch. When you have agreed to court a brother or have a vested interest in a brother who is also coming close, reciprocate the need to keep in touch regularly. It is not a one way street! 3. Double check before you conclude: As a young man, after communicating your intentions, sometimes a lady may be unsure about your seriousness, perhaps out of their past or other people's experiences. Before you conclude that the young lady is not taking your proposal or interest seriously, find away to pass the message one more time. Passage of time, could have made such a lady rethink her decision. She may even be praying that you ask her again! Give them the benefit of the doubt and make a final notice, before moving on. _MEDITATION:_ *"You can never have too much understanding or knowledge about relationships, whether married or single. So be a lifelong student of relationships & marriage!"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo_Esq* *#Monday_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.
