Cohabitation before marriage has become increasingly common in today's world, but does that make it right in the sight of God? Many argue that living together before marriage helps couples understand each other better, but this mindset disregards the foundation of godly relationships. Hebrews 13:4 clearly states, "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." When a man and woman choose to live together outside of marriage, they dishonor the sanctity of marriage and invite unnecessary temptations that can lead to sin. If God intended for marriage to be a covenant before cohabitation, why do many believers compromise His standard? For a woman, cohabiting with a man before marriage is a direct attack on her dignity and self-worth. Proverbs 31:10 says, "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies." A lady who moves in with a man before marriage gives away the honor that should be preserv...

Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind in love? Watching others enter relationships, get engaged, or even marry while you’re still waiting can be frustrating. It can make you question whether God is listening to your prayers or if something is wrong with you. But what if your waiting season isn’t a delay—but divine preparation? Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” If there is a time for everything, doesn’t that mean there is also a time for love—a time set by God, not by pressure or comparison? The world often teaches us to follow emotions, date early, and rush into relationships based on personal desires. But God’s timing is different. He sees the bigger picture of your life—your emotional readiness, your purpose, your calling. His plan is never to delay you but to prepare you for something greater. Have you ever considered that God’s “not yet” could be His way of protecting you? That He might be...

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “How do I know if this person is God’s choice for me?” It’s a question that tugs at the heart, especially when emotions are involved. The truth is, discerning God’s will in relationships isn’t always about hearing an audible voice or seeing flashing signs. Often, it’s in the stillness of your heart where God speaks the loudest. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us not to be anxious about anything but to present our requests to God through prayer and supplication. In that space of honest prayer, God’s peace, which surpasses all understanding, acts as a gentle guide. Have you paused long enough to sense that peace, or are you too distracted by your own expectations? One of the ways God confirms His will is through a consistent sense of peace, wise counsel from godly mentors, and alignment with His Word. Peace doesn’t mean the absence of challenges, but rather a deep, unshakable calm in the midst of uncertainty. Romans 12:2 encourages us not to ...

When it comes to dating as a believer, the key question isn’t just “How do I find the right person?” but rather, “How do I honor God while dating?” This shifts the focus from seeking personal satisfaction to living in alignment with God’s purpose for your life. Dating is not separate from your faith journey—it’s an integral part of it. Every conversation, connection, and commitment has the potential to either draw you closer to God or distract you from Him. That’s why setting boundaries in dating isn’t about limiting your freedom; it’s about protecting what’s sacred—your heart, your purity, and your purpose. Boundaries are essential because they help you navigate the emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects of a relationship with wisdom and intentionality. Emotionally, it’s easy to get attached quickly when you’re swept up in the excitement of someone new. You start sharing deep parts of your heart, sometimes too soon, creating emotional bonds that can cloud your judgment...
