BEFORE YOU SAY, "I DO"!

The Year of New Beginnings and Relationships coming Together
Since this is the year of new beginnings, I strongly believe that God is miraculously doing a work in relationships. If you are believing God to reconcile a relationship or to strengthen the one you are presently in, this is your year. Even those who are trusting God to meet their mates will be fulfilled this year. This is the year of blessings and God is taking His people to a new dimension in Him. He wants to fulfill promises and make dreams come true this year. How many of you believe that He can do it and He will do it?
I am trusting God for a mate, but I want the one He has purposed to be my lifetime companion. Too often, we run ahead of God and pick what we want according to our fleshly desires. He wants us to have His best and for us to stop settling for less. I see it too often. Men and women getting involved with a person because they are getting some much-needed attention or they get married out of convenience. The only true purpose for marriage is love
and companionship. If you get married for any other reason, you are in for a rude awakening!
This is going to be a year of great victory for God's people and it should also pertain to marriage. Therefore, if you are dating someone and you do not know if this is your soul mate, stand still, do not make a hasty decision, and seek the guidance of God (Proverbs 3: 5 - 6).
"Marriage should be enjoyed and prosperous, and not a drudgery. You should like and love the person you are with and enjoy intimacy. "
