All about relationships and what makes them work
There's no doubt that God created man and woman for
one another. When all is said and done, all of us are
looking for a meaningful companionship with
another. Everyone has an opinion on the "right"
ways and the wrong ways. But for the person who is serious about
having God guide their life, even in relationships, what guidelines are
we to follow?
The church is no help, all they ever tell you to do is not have sex ...
as if that was some guarantee that the person you're with is the one
whom God intended for you. And there isn't much help
in the Bible either. Of all the things it talks about, sex
and relationships are the least discussed. When we read
about biblical figures, they're already married and we don't get much
perspective on the things they've faced in that marriage.
It seems like the single person, looking God's direction in their
romantic relationships has absolutely nothing to go on.
That's hard. Especially when it seems people who really
have no interest in allowing God to direct their lives seem to hook up
all the time. That doesn't mean they're happy and who really
knows what goes on behind closed doors. Who really knows who is
in a relationship that brings them contentment, rather than just
a relationship of safety and convenience. Who really knows?
I am committed to the idea that He does know and He does lead us to the person He's designed us for, if we allow it.
