Finding Your Mate and Dating

Although my husband and I didn't start out putting God first in our marriage, we both had a deep and abiding faith in God, we simply came at it from different directions and our relationship with God most CERTAINLY was NOT put first in the beginning of our relationship.When we finally did start putting God first in our relationship, we found that our boundaries changed. We were far more accepting of one another's mistakes and far more forgiving...at the same time, we learned to recognize that when we put God first, we are sinning first and foremost against HIM, even before we are sinning against one another.

By putting our relationship with God ahead of even our relationship with one another, we are far closer and more loving than we ever were before.We are even now teaching our children that dating leads to marriage, and no matter what our culture promotes, God has already picked out their mates. Friendships are necessary, boyfriends and girlfriends are not.

I pray for my children and their spouses, because God knows who those spouses are, even if we don't. I pray that my children, and their spouses, grow in deep, loving, abiding faith in the Lord and that they grow in love and kindness toward one another. I pray that if they must learn through pain, that it is pain that can be healed quickly and they learn their lessons earlier rather than later.

God has a plan for each one of us. He is preparing each of us for one another for the perfect time, His time.

God bless.
