Are You About to Marry the Wrong Person? These Questions Could Save Your Future

Choosing the right person is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Attraction may capture your attention, but godly wisdom protects your future. Proverbs 3:5 to 6 reminds you to trust in the Lord with all your heart and not lean on your own understanding. Before you give someone access to your heart, ask yourself, Have I truly sought God's direction, or am I allowing loneliness, pressure, or emotions to make this decision? A relationship that begins without God's guidance often struggles to experience God's peace.

Amos 3:3 asks, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Agreement goes beyond shared hobbies or physical attraction. It includes your faith, values, purpose, convictions, and vision for the future. Ask yourself, Are we growing closer to Christ together or pulling each other away from Him? Can we resolve conflict with humility? Do we genuinely respect one another? The right person will not only love you but will also encourage you to become the person God has called you to be.

Pay attention to the fruit of the relationship instead of the feelings alone. Does this relationship produce peace or constant confusion? Does it strengthen your prayer life or weaken it? Does this person honor your boundaries, speak truth with love, and demonstrate consistent character? A godly relationship is built on trust, honesty, accountability, and mutual commitment to Christ. The right person will not be perfect, but they will be willing to grow, repent, forgive, and pursue God alongside you.

If you are single or dating, do not rush because others are getting married. God's timing is never late, and His choice is always worth waiting for. Pray sincerely, seek wise counsel, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide your heart. The greatest question is not, "Have I found the right person?" but rather, "Am I becoming the right person according to God's Word?" When two people are fully surrendered to Jesus Christ, they are far more prepared to build a relationship that reflects His love and brings Him glory.

Hope Expression Values You.
Apostle Prince Victor Matthew

HOW TO UNDERSTAND SEXUAL VALUES

Sexual value in a relationship is the discipline and purity you uphold concerning your body and desires. What is sexual value? It is the standard you place on how you honor God with your sexuality. Why is this important? Because sex is not just a physical act; it is a spiritual covenant designed for marriage. Who should care about sexual values? Both singles and those dating, because disregarding God’s design in this area can leave scars, regrets, and unnecessary baggage. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 reminds us, “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality.” How do you build sexual value? By setting boundaries, avoiding compromising environments, and renewing your mind with God’s Word. When do you start? Now, not when you are engaged or married, because self-control is practiced long before the wedding day. Where does this apply? In how you relate with the opposite sex, the conversations you entertain, the media you consume, and the spaces you allow y...

HEALING BEFORE DATING

Before you enter a relationship, you must be honest about the condition of your heart. Many singles desire love while carrying wounds they have never confronted. Childhood rejection, abandonment, betrayal, harsh words, broken family experiences, unhealthy relationships and repeated disappointments can shape the way you see yourself and interpret the actions of others. Sometimes what you call love is actually a desire to escape loneliness, insecurity or emotional pain. Yet Scripture reminds you that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Healing must become part of your preparation for healthy love. Unresolved wounds can affect how you communicate, trust, receive affection and respond to conflict. You may become overly suspicious because someone betrayed you before, excessively controlling because you fear abandonment, emotionally distant because vulnerability once hurt you, or desperate for constant reassurance because rejection d...

Waiting vs. Walking in God’s Timing

Desiring marriage can make singles impatient, tempting them to settle or force relationships. But God’s timing is perfect, and His plans are higher than ours. Scripture declares, “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14). Walking in patience allows God to orchestrate the right union that honors Him fully. Waiting is not passive; it is a period of preparation, prayer, and personal growth. Singles are called to strengthen their character, deepen their intimacy with Jesus, and clarify their purpose. This ensures that when the right partner comes, the relationship will serve God’s kingdom and not just personal desire. Rushing leads to compromises and mismatches, but intentional waiting produces alignment, covenant readiness, and a union that glorifies Jesus. Trusting God’s timing allows His wisdom to guide your choices, protecting your heart and your future marriage. When you wait on God and walk in His timing, you become a vessel rea...
