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

Your Life, Relationships, and Resources Belong to God

Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s about recognizing that everything you are and everything you have belongs to God. Your life, time, relationships, and even your emotions are divine trusts, not personal possessions. Psalm 24:1 reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” When you understand this truth as a youth, it changes how you make choices, treat people, and handle opportunities. In dating and relationships, stewardship means honoring God with your heart and choices. You don’t date to fill loneliness; you date to reflect purpose. Your emotions should be guided by wisdom, not impulse. When you see your partner as someone God trusts you to treat with dignity, purity, and patience, your approach changes. You begin to love responsibly and communicate with respect, knowing you’ll give an account for how you handle another person’s heart. For singles, stewardship includes how you use your time and gifts while waiting. Every ...

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...

Why Openness About Money Is Key in Dating and Future Marriage

Beloved, money is one of the quiet tests of trust in every relationship. You cannot build a godly relationship on secrecy. Financial honesty is not just about showing your bank balance—it’s about being truthful with your lifestyle, habits, and priorities. The Bible says, “Provide things honest in the sight of all men.” (Romans 12:17). Openness builds trust, while financial silence breeds suspicion. When you are dating, honesty about money helps both of you plan wisely and avoid unrealistic expectations. Talk about how you earn, save, spend, and give. It’s not about impressing one another—it’s about understanding each other’s values. Hiding debts, exaggerating income, or pretending to live a certain way will only cause future pain. “Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than one who is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.” (Proverbs 28:6). Financial transparency also helps you discern compatibility. If one values stewardship while the other values status, there will be tensi...
