And one more thing: Don’t go at this alone. Don’t presume that you, on your own, have a sufficient amount of discernment to evaluate a potential spouse. If you’re in a dating relationship, introduce this person to as many friends of yours as possible, especially your church family. Ask for what they honestly think, and see what yellow flags they raise. That is what humility looks like in a dating relationship — inviting the counsel of others and not believing the lie that you know better than everyone else. Let the wisdom of Scripture guide your dating decisions, not superficiality. Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (Proverbs 31:30) Article by Pastor Ben Reaoch Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?" 18
