Sometimes you may be led by the spirit of God to leave a relationship that looks good to the eyes, just as the apple in the garden of Eden looked good to Adam and Eve. It could be that the spouse is not in alignment with the will of God for your life. Just obey and follow God.
And that is why the first victory a believer has is knowing God for yourself and discerning the voice of God.
Your identity in Christ, and the revelation of who God calls you, must not be compromised for lust or ‘falling in love’.
My sheep hear my voice, the voice of the stranger, they know not. (John 10 vs 27)
A lot of people have career paths, but no single marriage path.
Be honest and answer these questions:
What vision do you have for your marriage?
What did God tell you concerning your future?
What can you see?
How do you intend to parent your kids?
How do you want your marriage to look like?
What did God call you?
What did God tell you about that Man or Woman?
Can you marry ‘your type’? (If not, then maybe you need to work more on yourself.)
Write these down. Put pen on paper. Plan!
I have seen 18-year-olds who are so much ready for marriage. I have also seen folks in their 50s who are still not ready. This is the bitter truth.
Have a vision of a godly marriage before getting into a relationship.
If this challenges how you think about relationships, don’t ignore it.
Clarity in love starts with alignment in purpose — and you don’t have to figure it out alone.
