Alright, we’re in a new calendar year and many have already set their goals for the year. You have prayed that this is the year you will meet the 1 God has for you. You are focused on your personal goals and career goals. You are ready to be loved and to give love. So, I have outlined 3 dating pitfalls to avoid in the New Year.
Most of us have had a heartbreak or 2 or 3 along this journey. Things happen along the way that is obviously out of your immediate control. Some relationships didn’t go according to plan. Perhaps you left hurt and disappointed. Perhaps you left upset and are just tired of dealing with this process.
Dear Duke,
I met this guy January this year. We started dating and things were ok as he was spending more time with me. Problems started in May when he said I don’t spend enough time with him. I told him I don’t want to rush things. I introduced him in July.
Here is another archived post from our Diary of A Future Spouse!
Dear Duke,
Well to start off, I am finding myself feeling frustrated and almost hopeless in believing that I can find true love God’s way. Don’t get me wrong, I know God is able, but sometimes I just wonder if He is able and willing to perform such a miraculous work in my life.
I met my first boyfriend at 18 when I was a freshman in College. I was a virgin then, and I stood firm on the fact that I wanted to wait until I was married to go all the way.
Dear Duke,
Today we will revisit a past Diary of A Future Spouse post of a real life dating story that was submitted.
I dated a man for 5 months. During the 5 month relationship, I did everything I could to show this man that I was the exception, which was my mistake. This man had a son from a previous relationship. I loved his son the moment I held him.
Today, I’m reposting a blog from the blog archives. It has often been said that love is a universal language. On the surface that is true, but what everyone calls love is not really love. That’s another story for another day. What is certain is that if you love God and yourself, you have no other option but to be a love magnet.
You look all around and you see people in love. You see wedding after wedding. Smiles on top of smiles. You see tears of joy coming down someone’s face because they have finally met the 1. It’s always a great time to be in love.
You may still wonder when things will change with your love life. You may still be wondering when you will meet the 1 God has. Your love life is important for many reasons. It is something that you should care about a great deal.
If one is not careful, there can be a thin line between waiting on God and settling in a relationship. I don’t believe I’ve spoken to anyone who ever planned to knowingly settle. Settling looks different to everyone, but most know for sure what it feels like to wait. Wait is not the most popular word among singles.
I understand that many things happens throughout life. We have had highs and lows. However, in the midst of it, God made you a promise. God is love, so love made you a promise.
Love is all around you just as love is all in you. The best place to find love is not as complex as you might think. Love can be found in a number of places, but there is one place that love is easiest to be found. You don’t have to look far and wide for it at all. The best place to find love is right within pursuing your God given purpose!
