It’s the clichéd American dream: finish school, get married, buy a house, have children then finally get a puppy. In that order. However, this way of life is rarely feasible. Should we really plan our big life transitions in that order?

Maybe your church is small and you aren’t interested in anyone there. Or maybe you are in a big church, but you still haven’t found someone that makes your heart beat faster. Should you change churches to increase your chances of finding “the one”?

As Christians, Christ should be first in our heart, so we should be looking primarily for a partner that is on fire for God. But does that mean physical appearance doesn’t matter?

You had high hopes, you dreamed of a life together, and it ended horribly, with a breakup, or worse a divorce or death. Of course, we need to take a time to heal, but then let’s reject pessimism. After all, we serve the God of resurrection, right?!

When our inner voice tells us that something is bad, it is wise to listen. If we take too much time to think about it, our flesh may win the debate over our spirit because it knows how to convince us.
